We believe that being paid for gigs automatically via our secure payment system, Encore Pay, improves the experience for musicians and clients by making bookings more secure and simpler to manage on the day of the event.
However, we know that many people prefer the familiarity of more traditional transactions such as cash, cheque or bank transfer, and so if they wish, clients can choose to pay musicians outside of the Encore platform.
You will be notified about the payment method a client has chosen when you receive a Booking request.
You can learn more about how payment works for non-Encore Pay bookings here.
