GigPay processes payments between live performers and their event promoters or hosts. GigPay allows live performers, like bands and musicians, to accept payments by credit/debit card, bank transfer or PayPal, using only their email address. The payment clears before a gig and is only released afterwards in order to protect both the Promoter and the Performer. GigPay is useful as a means of accepting card payment, collecting payment, tracking payments, and of having full control of payments relating to live events. In addition payment by GigPay can act as a contract, whilst also being a great way to record your live event payments. The system allows both parties to have full control of their funds.
