We ask that with any booking requests that start on CO:CREATE, that the deposit gets taken on platform. The booking system and tools we offer Artists are completely free, Artists keep 100% of what they charge. To maintain this, we charge clients a single $10 booking fee in addition to the deposit amount requested by an Artist.
Artists can request a deposit to accept an Open Booking Request.
- Only one deposit can be requested per Booking Request
- Deposits can only be requested on Custom Booking Requests.
- Wanna Do’s can only have deposits paid up front, and move straight to “Booked”
How to Request a Deposit:
There are two ways to open the Request Deposit sheet, by tapping the "Next Step" banner at the top of the booking request, or the contextual menu in the top right corner:

All deposit requests expire from 1 to 30 days after sending the request. Once expired, the client can no longer pay the deposit amount. The artist can either renew the deposit, or decline the booking.

Total Estimate:
If the artist wants to quote the client an estimate for the project or for each session, they can add it here. This field is not required, but if included will display on the Booking Request detail page.
