Choose the payment arrangement

Pay directly.
Or pay through Blubook.

Client paying your agency directly? Choose how you pay the artist, and agree the route before the booking goes ahead.

Direct payment

Receive the client’s payment in your own system, then pay the artist by direct bank transfer under your agreed terms. Blubook does not hold or distribute that money.

Through Blubook

Your agency can pay the artist through Blubook, even when the client paid you directly. Money handled by Blubook stays held until two days after the event, unless the client raises a dispute.

Agreements and booking records

Keep the creative’s signed professional agreement and the client’s signed client agreement with the event. Follow the booking status and export the information your team needs.

Agency financial overview
Agency finances · Track booking payments
What if the client cancels?

If the client cancels, the deposit goes to the artist under the booking’s cancellation terms. Those terms are agreed in the contract, so everyone knows what the deposit covers.

When can I withdraw the money?

For payments through Blubook, funds are held and are not an available payout until two days after the event. Then the agreed shares are distributed. If the client raises a dispute, distribution is paused and the funds stay held while it is resolved.

When does the client pay?

For bookings using Blubook’s payment schedule, the balance is due four weeks before the event. Bookings made within six weeks require full payment when booking. The whole booking is paid before the event; funds must be received before they can be released.

Blubook-held funds are not available for payout until release: two days after the event, unless the client raises a dispute. Your own payment system follows your agreed terms.
