Help Center / For specialists: getting started and getting booked

How do I accept or decline a booking request?

Open My Bookings → "New requests". The host's money is already reserved when the offer reaches you. Tap "Accept" and the payment moves into escrow for you, or "Decline" and it goes back to the host. Reply within 24 hours, as the Specialist Agreement asks.

Step by step

1. Open My Bookings → "New requests".
2. Check the date, venue, what the host needs and your pay.
3. Tap "Accept" ("Booking confirmed. The payment is held in escrow for you.") or "Decline".
4. On the day, open the contract, tap "I've arrived at the venue" when you get there, and "Mark job done" when you finish.

Good to know

• You can't accept after the event date has passed.
• If a materials advance was agreed, it's paid to your balance as soon as you accept.
