Getting Started

Getting started with GigBook

What GigBook is, how the DJ and client portals differ, and how to find your way around on day one.

GigBook is the one-stop portal for running your DJ business — bookings, contracts, payments, and event planning, all tied to each event. This guide gets you oriented.

Two portals, one system

GigBook has two views of the same data:

• The DJ (staff) portal — you and your team. You see every client, every event, and can manage checklists, contracts, payments, and planning.
• The client portal — the couple. They sign in and see only their own event(s): their checklist, their forms, their contract, and what's left to do.

Both portals are branded with your logo, colors, and fonts (set these in Settings).

Signing in

• DJs log in at /dj/login.
• Couples log in at /login for your workspace.

Your workspace lives at a slug like your-name (e.g. /your-name/dashboard).

The dashboard

After signing in as a DJ, the dashboard lists your clients and their events with a quick progress bar for each. Click any event to open its per-event view, where you manage everything for that event in one place. New inquiries from your booking form show up here too.
