- IDEAL
- PayPal
- Credit card

The performance is final and immediately blocked in the artist's agenda.
Are there any costs associated with paying online?
Depending on the payment method you have chosen, transaction costs may apply to your booking. These costs are shown on the payment page for each payment method.
Can I pay in cash?
No, cash payment is not one of the payment methods. ShowBird arranges all administration for the artist (payments, invoicing, etc.) online.
Can I pay in advance on invoice?
Yes, this is possible, depending on the total amount and eventdate. It is important that payment is received by us the next time, according to the payment term indicated on the invoice.
How does this work?
Choose the option 'Bank transfer' on the payment page and you will receive an invoice by e-mail. An administration fee is charged for this option, just like e.g. Credit card and PayPal did. This amounts to 5% of the total booking price, with a minimum of €50 and a maximum of €100.
Can I pay by invoice afterwards?
No, you will always receive the invoice 24 to 48 hours after the performance.
You already pay when confirming the booking, using one of the available payment methods.

The amount will be deposited in a secure account and the artist will be paid 24 to 72 hours after the performance.
Can someone else pay for me?
Yes, you can choose to send a payment link to a colleague. You do this on the payment page. Your colleague will receive a payment link to immediately pay the payment. We also send an invoice if the payment link is not sufficient within your organization.
You remain the person who receives the booking confirmation by e-mail as soon as the payment has been received by us.
Please note: the booking is only completed as soon as the payment is received by us and you have received the booking confirmation.
