Plenty of gigs aren’t paid by the person you sang for. An agency books you, collects the fee from the venue or the couple, and pays you later. Often it won’t pay until it has your invoice. Gigflow now sends the invoice to whoever is holding your money.
What’s new
Paperwork goes to whoever pays you. If the agency pays you, the invoice, any payment chase and the receipt go to the agency. Otherwise they go to the client.
Each agency has its own invoice details. “Their email for invoices”, and if you like, the person invoices should be addressed to.
A step-by-step way to add an agency. One question per screen: what the agency is called, how you pay its commission, how it works out its cut, and “Do you send them an invoice?”.
A marker for invoices sent another way. If you’ve already invoiced by email, mark it as sent. The gig shows “Invoiced outside Gigflow” and no longer asks for one.
How to use it
Go to Settings, then Agencies, and tap “Add an agency”. At “Do you send them an invoice?”, choose “Yes, I invoice them” or “No, they sort the paperwork”. Say yes and Gigflow asks “Where do their invoices go?”. You can change any of it later from the agency’s page.
An agency gig only asks for an invoice when it’s a No pickup gig, meaning the agency collects the fee and pays you afterwards. Cash on the night never needs one. On the gig itself, “Already invoiced?” with “Mark it as sent” records an invoice you sent elsewhere, and there’s an Undo.
Why it matters
An invoice sent to the wrong person doesn’t get paid. Sending it to the agency’s accounts inbox, addressed to the right name, is the difference between money in three weeks and money in three months.
