Payments — deposits & balances

Request deposits and balances, let couples pay via your own handles, and track what's paid — no processor in the middle.

GigBook tracks the money for each event without taking a cut or sitting between you and your client. You request payments; couples pay you directly via your saved handles and mark them paid.

Add your handles first

Set your Venmo / PayPal / Zelle in Settings so couples have a way to pay. Without them, payment requests show but have no pay buttons.

Request a payment

On the event's payments page, add a request with a label (e.g. "Deposit" or "Balance"), an amount, and an optional due date. The couple sees it in their portal with pay links for your handles.

Marking paid

When the couple pays, they (or you) mark the request paid, optionally noting the method. Staff can revert a payment to unpaid or delete a request.

Ties into the checklist

Deposit and balance checklist items complete automatically when a matching payment is marked paid — see Checklists & forms.

Checklist

  • Add your payment handles in Settings
  • Create a deposit request to secure the date
  • Add a balance request with a due date before the event
  • Mark payments paid as they come in
