Wedding and function bands play weddings, birthday parties, festivals and corporate events. They usually take a deposit to hold the date, often months ahead, and ask for the balance a few weeks before the event. After the gig, one member often has to split the fee between the rest of the band. A payments app that sends a link for the deposit and the balance, reminds clients when the balance is due and makes it simple to pay each band member their share can win these bands, and every couple or client who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A payment link for the deposit holds the date straight away, and a second link for the balance, sent before the event, means the band is paid before it plays.
