When to use Modify vs. Cancel
If the booking just needs different terms — different date, different fee, different deposit split — use Request Modification. If you no longer want the booking at all, use Cancel.
Modifications keep the same booking ID, signature history, and any partial payments that have already settled — so the audit trail is unbroken.
What you can change
From the booking page, click Request Modification to open the modification dialog. Toggle on what you want to change:
- Change fee — adjust the agreed performance fee.
- Change deposit % — by default deposits are 50%. You can propose anything from 0% to 100%. The remainder auto-adjusts to 100 − deposit %.
- Change date / time — useful when the event needs to slip.
- Change travel arrangement — switch between Paid by organizer, Paid by performer (all-inclusive), or Travel not required.
What happens after submit
The performer (or organizer, if they initiated) receives a notification. They can Accept, Decline, or Counter with adjusted terms. The booking status goes to modified or counter_modified while you negotiate.
Once accepted, the contract regenerates automatically with the new terms. The new deposit/remainder math is reflected on the payment schedule and the auto-charge timing.
If money has already moved
- Already-paid deposit: stays as a credit. If the new fee is lower, the difference is applied to the remainder (or refunded if the new fee is below the deposit already paid).
- Remainder not yet charged: the cron will re-compute against the new terms on its next scheduled run.
- Travel already booked: travel changes lock once
