Booking Extensions is under Content → Profile → Services. It controls whether a client can ask you to stay longer while an event is running, and what you charge if they do.
Turning it on
Set an hourly rate in the Booking Extensions field and switch it on.
With it off, clients see Event extension unavailable on their event and there's no way to request more time through the app.
What the rate is
Your hourly rate for extra time added during an event. It's a starting point rather than a fixed price — when a request comes in, you set the actual rate before approving it. Clients are told upfront that you may adjust it.
Pricing it
Higher than your booking rate is normal and expected. An extra hour at the end of a night isn't the same as an hour in the middle:
- You'd planned to be packing down
- It can push you into venue overtime, or past a curfew
- You're driving home later
- If you have another booking the next day, it costs you sleep
Something in the range of 1.25 to 1.5 times your booking rate is a reasonable default. You can always set it lower on the night for a client you're enjoying working with.
Why to turn it on
It's straightforward extra income at the moment a client is most willing to pay. A wedding that's going well at midnight is exactly when someone will happily pay for another hour — and if there's no way to do it through the app, that money either doesn't happen or happens as cash, off-platform.
Why you might not
If you regularly have a second booking, a long drive, or a hard curfew, leaving extensions off avoids an awkward conversation on the night. You can decline individual requests instead, which keeps the option open.
How a request works
The client requests hours, you set a rate and accept, they pay, and the extension is confirmed. Until they pay, you're not obliged to keep playing — and they're told that. See Event Extensions: Approving Extra Time.
Getting paid
An extension creates its own payment with your normal platform fee and payout delay.
Changing it
Edit the rate any time. It applies to future requests, not to an extension already agreed.
