How to Confirm a Booking on The Bash

Remember, either you or the client can confirm the booking on The Bash. Just like our members, clients have a Control Panel where they can go to confirm the booking.

To confirm the booking as a vendor, follow these steps:

Log in to your Control Panel and go to the Leads tab.
Find the lead in your Inbox (you can click the sort & filter button to search for the lead by the client or event details, or you can search by the gig ID number).
Once you find the lead, click the client's name to go to the full request. (If you search by gig ID #, you'll be brought right to this page).
Click the "Book now" button and complete the payment details. Select the correct payment options, then click the "Confirm Booking" button—that's it! The gig will forever be an official booking on The Bash.

Note: Please make sure you have been in contact with the client directly and confirmed with them that you are booked for the event prior to confirming it on The Bash.

Once the booking is confirmed and the booking fee is paid successfully, the lead status will be updated to "Booked." It will also reflect as a verified booking on your profile.
