The Problem

Why Partial Payments Are Risky to Track Manually

Almost every event business works on advance and balance payments. Without a system, an advance noted in one chat and a balance mentioned in another quietly turns into missed revenue.

Payments noted informally

An advance confirmed over WhatsApp is easy to forget or lose track of later.

No reminder system

Balance payments are only chased when someone happens to remember.

No single view of dues

Figuring out who owes what means digging through chats and notebooks.

How It Works

From Booking to Balance Cleared

1

Set the advance/balance split

At the time of booking, define what percentage is due upfront and what's due later.

2

Record the advance payment

Once received, the payment is logged against the event and the client profile.

3

Automatic reminders go out

As the balance due date approaches, reminders are sent without you lifting a finger.

4

Dues dashboard stays current

A real-time view shows exactly which clients still owe a balance, at any moment.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can I split a booking into advance and balance payments?

Yes. Every booking can be split into an advance and a balance at the time of confirmation, with both amounts tracked separately against the event.

Does it send payment reminders automatically?

Yes. Reminders for outstanding balances go out automatically ahead of the due date, rather than relying on someone to remember to follow up.

Can I see all outstanding dues in one place?

Yes. A dues dashboard shows every client with an outstanding balance across all your bookings, updated in real time.

Is payment history tied to the client or the event?

Both. Payments are tracked per event so nothing is missed, and also tied to the client's profile so you have full history if they book again.

Can I track payments for multiple bookings from the same client?

Yes. If a client books more than one event, each booking's payments are tracked separately while still rolling up under one client profile.
