How Split payments work

Split one booking fee across several people — save defaults on your roster, load them onto bookings, and send each person their own offer.

Written by M

When one booking fee needs to go to more than one person — a band, a duo, or a shared lineup — Split payments keeps the shares clear from the first offer through to payment.

You can save who gets paid and how on the roster, load those defaults onto a booking in one step, then adjust for that date if you need to. Each person can get their own offer for their share.

Who this is for

  • Bands and artists who usually split the fee the same way across roster members

  • Agencies and venues who book a Connected band and want the lineup and shares filled in without retyping every time

  • Anyone creating a booking where more than one person should receive part of the fee

Split payments is available on Pro and above.

The two halves

1. Defaults on the roster

If you manage a roster (for example a band and its members), open Rosters → Split payments, turn Split payment defaults on, then turn Default on for each person who should load onto split payment bookings, choose a percentage or a fixed amount for each, set tax on or off when you have a default tax rate, and save.

Those defaults are what Connected accounts can load when they book you. Roster members not set as defaults can still be added on the booking later.

2. Shares on the booking

On the booking offer, open Split payments. With a Connected band as To, empty shares fill from that band’s saved defaults automatically when defaults are turned on.

You edit the people and amounts on the booking itself — changing the band’s roster defaults later does not rewrite bookings that already loaded them.

How shares are calculated

You can mix percentages and fixed amounts on the same booking:

  • Fixed amounts are taken first

  • Percentages apply to what is left

  • You can leave a share blank if someone is on the lineup but the amount will be filled in later

On Rosters → Split payments, the Allocated summary shows fixed amounts and percent splits separately — the progress bar tracks percent rows only (aim for 100%), while fixed amounts appear in the line under the bar. That matches how rows work on the booking when the fee is split.

Tax on shares

On the roster, each person is tax on (your account rate, for example GST 10%) or No tax.

On the booking, each row still has the full tax picker — Including tax, Plus tax, or No tax. When shares load from roster defaults and countries match, tax-on members land as Plus tax with a defaults indicator. Change to Including tax or No tax on the booking if this date needs different treatment.

If the tax country does not match — or the band left tax off — the row can stay open for the usual payment-profile tax suggestions.

What happens when you send

When you’re ready, you send from the group booking. Each person on Split payments can receive their own offer for their share. The group booking stays the place where you manage the overall deal and lineup.

Common questions

  • Do I have to use roster defaults? No. You can add people and splits only on the booking if you prefer — including roster members who aren’t saved as defaults.

  • Will my saved defaults change old bookings? No. Once a booking has loaded a set, it keeps its own copy.

  • What if the booking currency is different from the band’s? Percentages still copy. Fixed amounts stay empty so you can enter the right currency on the booking.

  • Which plan do I need? Split payments is on Pro and above. On Free you’ll see an upgrade prompt where authoring or using the feature needs Pro.
