What a rider is
A rider is a separate document attached to the booking that lists technical or hospitality requirements — equipment, monitor setup, dressing room, sound check, hospitality. Anything beyond the basic booking terms goes in the rider so both sides have one source of truth.
Where to manage riders
- Standing riders live on your profile. Upload or paste them under Profile → Riders. New bookings can attach a standing rider with one click.
- Per-booking riders are edited inside the booking under Documents → Rider. Use this when one event needs different gear than your default.
How the contract flow works
Every confirmed booking goes through two-sided signature before any money moves:
- Organizer signs the contract.
- You sign the contract (in any order).
- Once both signatures are in place AND the rider is approved (or no rider is attached), the deposit auto-charges to the organizer's bank.
- You receive notification that your share landed in your Stripe connected balance.
If a rider IS attached, the organizer has to explicitly approve the rider before the deposit fires. This prevents deposit charges on terms that haven't been agreed.
Signing the contract
Go to Bookings → [your booking] → Contract. Click Sign Contract, draw your signature on the canvas, and submit. The signed PDF is generated automatically and lives under Documents for both sides.
Modifying after signing
Once you've signed you can still propose changes — fee, date/time, deposit %, travel arrangement — by clicking Request Modification. The organizer accepts, and the contract regenerates with the new terms. The deposit % change is reflected in the next payment line.
