A Booking Page for DJs, Musicians, and Bands
Event bookings with a real deposit, the event details you need before you show up, and a way to sell merch, beats, or sample packs on the same page — for performers who take gigs and sell music both.
By Keepp Team
Booking a DJ, a musician, or a band for an event has more moving parts than most bookings — the venue, the event type, the equipment needs, sometimes a set-length or genre discussion — and a lot of that still gets handled through a mix of DMs, phone calls, and a deposit sent over whatever payment app happens to come up first. That works until a date gets double-booked, or a deposit that was supposed to hold a Saturday never actually clears before someone else asks about the same night.
This post covers what a booking page needs specifically for performers who take live bookings. For the underlying mechanics — availability, calendar sync, payment — see taking bookings and appointments online.
Event bookings with the details that actually matter
Set up an event booking as its own offering, sized to a realistic set length or event duration rather than a generic hourly slot. A custom question on that offering — venue and event type as short text, a single-select for indoor/outdoor, a long-text field for “anything specific about the event we should know” — means you show up already knowing what you’re walking into, instead of finding out about a broken power outlet or a strict noise curfew the day of.
A deposit that actually holds a Saturday
A Saturday night, once booked, is gone whether or not the client follows through — which makes a deposit at the time of booking the difference between a real gig and a maybe that falls through two weeks before the event. Set the offering as paid and it’s confirmed only once the deposit clears, through your own connected Stripe account — you’re the merchant of record, so the money is yours directly, not held or released by anyone else. Cancellation terms shown before booking make clear what happens to that deposit if an event is cancelled last-minute.
Show what you actually sound like
A short set clip, a mixed demo, or footage from a past event does more to convert an inquiry into a booking than a written description ever will. A showcase card with real performance clips — sorted by genre or event type if you cover more than one — lets someone evaluate the actual sound before they book, the same way a portfolio works for a photographer.
Calendar accuracy for a schedule that fills up fast
Connecting your Google Calendar means every date already booked — through the page or arranged another way — blocks automatically, so your page never shows an already-spoken-for Saturday as open. A booking window caps how far ahead someone can inquire if you don’t want event requests landing for dates a year out with no real intent behind them yet.
Selling music, merch, and sample packs alongside bookings
A lot of performers make money two ways at once: gigs, and selling something digital — a beat pack, a sample library, merch, or a mixed set as a download. That’s a product block on the same page as your booking offerings, through the same connected Stripe account. How to sell sample packs and sound kits covers that side specifically — packaging, pricing, and automatic delivery the moment someone buys, without you sending a file manually every time.
Sharing one offering, not your whole page
A Reel about weddings and a post about club sets shouldn’t send someone to the same generic booking link. Every offering has its own real link and QR code in its Share button, so content aimed at one kind of gig points straight at that offering, not the top of your page.
Common questions
Can I set different deposit amounts for different event types? Yes — a wedding booking and a club set can have entirely different deposit structures since each offering’s payment terms are set independently.
What if a client needs specific equipment I don’t usually bring? A custom question on the offering can ask about equipment needs directly, so it’s answered before you’re at the venue rather than discovered there.
Can I sell a mixed set or beat pack alongside taking live bookings? Yes — a product block and a booking offering coexist on the same page independently; a fan can buy a mix while a venue books you for an event, both through the same page.
