As a professional bandleader with experience in weddings and corporate events, I understand the importance of efficient gig management. Ensuring that contracts are signed and payments are received promptly is crucial for a smooth operation. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of generating and sending professional contracts and invoices using Back On Stage. This approach will not only enhance your professionalism but also streamline your booking management.

1. Begin with the Invoice

To create a seamless experience, start with generating your invoice. Back On Stage leverages invoice details to automate contract creation.

• Click on the actions button by the invoice and select generate.
• The invoice will populate automatically with your company and client details, pulling from your initial setup and the booking information.

2. Customizing Your Invoice

Personalizing your invoice can make a big difference.

• Add Discounts: Toggle the discount on and specify a flat amount if needed.
• Set Deposit: Choose a percentage option and set the deposit's due date.

3. Setting Up Payment Options

Ensure easy payment processes for your clients.

• Enable Online Payments: Check the option to allow PayPal transactions.
• Security Tip: Use integrated payment systems to avoid unprofessional practices like sharing bank details via email.
• Client Portal: Keep the invoice visible unless you want the contract signed first.

4. Generate Your Contract

Once the invoice is ready, it's time to move on to the contract.

• Select a Template: Use the default band performance contract as a base.
• Legal Advice: Always consult legal professionals for a comprehensive and suited contract.
