If you're booked for events, you belong here.
Occasions
Every event type. Every occasion.
The Gigster platform
Get booked. And run the business behind it.
Every vendor gets the full platform. The marketplace brings you clients - and the toolkit works for every gig, including the ones you bring yourself. Use whichever doors suit how you work.
Gigster Marketplace
Clients find you.
Your profile is listed on Gigster where clients actively search for event services. They submit an enquiry, you send a quote, and the platform handles contract, deposit and payment.
Gigster Direct
Your client. Your booking.
Already have a client via Instagram, email or WhatsApp? Keep chatting there — just send a Gigster link instead of a bank detail. Professional invoice, signed agreement, secure payment.
Gigster Muse
Keep your calendar full.
Muse reads your bookings and upcoming events, then generates a full month of social content — captions, image direction, posting times — calibrated to your vendor type and the SA event season.
Gigster Marketplace
Get discovered. Get booked. Get paid.
Clients searching for event services browse Gigster and submit enquiries directly to you. Every booking includes a professional quote, a signed contract, and protected payments.
Apply for free
Submit your profile - photos, video, description, your service category and base pricing. Gigster reviews and approves every listing to keep quality high.
Get discovered
Clients browse by service type and province. They submit an enquiry and you receive a notification immediately.
Send a quote
Use the Gigster quote builder to create a professional proposal - service fee, add-ons, technical requirements, travel, hospitality, cancellation policy. Everything in one document.
Client pays the deposit
On acceptance, the client pays a deposit via EFT or card. Funds are held by Gigster until close to the event - protecting both parties.
Deliver. Get paid.
Balance payment is released after the event. You receive your full quoted fee - Gigster's service fee is added on top of your price, not deducted from it.
Your price, your call
You control both numbers
You decide what you earn — and what your client pays. Gigster's service margin sits on top and is shown to you before you send anything; the client sees one all-in total. Want to hit an exact client price? The Target price tool works backwards from it for you.
GIGSTER DIRECT
Already have a client? Get paid properly.
Clients already contact you via Instagram, email, and WhatsApp. Keep the conversation there — Gigster Direct turns it into a professional, protected booking: invoice, signed agreement, and a payment link you just drop into the chat.
Paste in the conversation
Copy your WhatsApp or email thread and let the AI fill in all the booking details for you - client info, event date, venue, and your fee. Done in seconds.
Send the invoice
Your client receives a professional invoice and booking agreement by email. They pay by card or EFT - no Gigster account needed on their side.
Get paid & reviewed
Funds are released after the event. A review request goes to your client automatically - every direct booking builds your verified Gigster profile.

Deposit protection
The client pays before the event. Funds are held by Gigster - you're protected if they cancel; they're protected if you don't deliver.
Verified reviews
Only clients who booked and paid can review you. A 5-star rating on Gigster means a real event happened.
Dispute mediation
If something goes wrong, Gigster mediates. The balance payout is held until it's resolved - protecting both sides.
