DJfindr provides a complete financial ledger broken down into Payments (money received from clients) and Payouts (money transferred from your DJfindr balance to your bank account).
Payments — Money In
Navigate to Finance → Payments.
Every financial transaction appears here as a line item. Payments are generated from:
- Event Proposal deposits — when a client pays the initial deposit to confirm a booking
- Event Proposal final balances — when the remaining balance is automatically charged
- PayLink transactions — direct payments from clients via a PayLink URL
Each payment record shows:
- Client name and associated event
- Transaction date and time
- Gross amount charged to the client
- DJfindr platform fee deducted
- Stripe processing fee deducted
- Net amount added to your balance
Click any individual payment to view the full breakdown.
Payouts — Money Out
Navigate to Finance → Payouts.
Payouts represent the batched transfers from your accumulated DJfindr balance to your connected bank account. Stripe batches multiple individual payments into a single payout transfer.
Example: If three clients each pay $300 on a Friday evening:
- Three Payment records appear in Finance → Payments
- On your next payout date, one Payout of $900 (minus fees) is sent to your bank
Each payout entry shows:
- Payout date
- Total amount transferred
- The individual payments included in the batch
- Destination bank account (last 4 digits)
Understanding the Fee Structure
For every payment processed, two fee types are deducted:
- DJfindr Platform Fee — Based on your subscription plan (20% Lite, 10% Pro, 5% Platinum)
- Stripe Processing Fee — Standard Stripe fee (~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction)
The net amount after both deductions is what hits your payout balance.
Refunds
If a cancellation occurs and a refund is due per your cancellation policy:
- The refund appears as a negative line item in your Payments ledger.
- Your payout balance is adjusted accordingly.
- Refunds are processed back to the client's original payment method by Stripe.
Tip: Use the date filter in Finance → Payments to generate revenue reports for any time period — useful for tax purposes or business planning.
