The 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 - infrastructure that used to require a booking agent.
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, optional add-ons, technical requirements, travel, hospitality, exclusions, cancellation policy. Everything in one document.
Client pays the deposit
On acceptance, the client pays a deposit via EFT or PayFast. 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 commission is added on top of your price, not deducted from it.
Introducing Gigster Direct
Quote, invoice and collect payment from your own clients.
Clients already contact you via Instagram, email, and WhatsApp. Instead of handling it off-platform - no contract, no deposit protection - use Gigster Direct to convert any conversation into a professional, protected booking. AI fills in the details. You just send.
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.
