How Dance Command works for DJs

1. Your page: city, a line about you, and your rates (private).
2. Get paid: set up your own Stripe account.
3. Your phone: get the app and allow notifications.
4. Take a card once, so the first client who pays you at a gig is not the first time.

Getting booked

• An organizer asks to work with you; saying yes books nothing, and every night still asks you. A resident can switch on auto-accept for one organizer's regular night.
• Offers land in the app's Bookings tab; an accepted night goes on your calendar.

Song requests

• Turn on Taking requests and dancers send songs from the Dance Seekers app and from your QR. You decide what plays; money never moves a song up.
• Tips sent in the Dance Seekers app reach you whole. Tips and bookings paid on a Dance Command page or tapped on your phone carry the transaction fee, below.

Money

• When clients pay you (a card tapped on your phone, a pay link, a pack): the transaction fee is 7.5% + $1.00, online or in person (10% with no fixed part on anything under $10, never under $0.50), one fee with nothing on top. The charge screen shows the fee, and who pays it, before you take the card; the rest lands in your own Stripe account.
• When an organizer pays you for a gig, they pay a lower transaction fee (the one for paying your people), and you get the whole amount, in your bank on Stripe's payout schedule.
• Automatic pay (paid as soon as you check in, or when the night ends) happens only where the organizer has switched it on. Everywhere else the organizer presses Pay.
• Refunds are yours to give, from Money in the app, on any charge you took.

Who sees you

• Organizers and studios on Dance Command find you in Find people from the day you sign up. What you play, your city and your line about you decide how high you come up. They see your page and ask; your rates stay private.
• Your own page on Dance Command is public: the link in Share is the one to put in your bio.

Notifications

• On your phone: push notifications for answers, work and reminders are on once you allow them; news is off. Quiet hours (11 pm to 9 am) hold work and reminder pushes until morning. Change it all in Notifications.
• Email: messages a person wrote, booking asks, invites, receipts and sign-in codes always come. Automatic emails (the morning summary, reminders, nudges) are off unless you switch them on.

Other hats

One email can hold several hats, each with its own name, page and Stripe.
