Bookings
Statuses, fees, and how a booking moves from inquiry to payout.
Each payout has two deductions: Spotcast commission (depends on traffic and loyalty) and a flat 2.5% service fee on every booking.
Discovery traffic (spotcast.live): standard commission is 25%, reduced through the Loyalty Program.
Bookings from your embed, booking link, or QR code count as your own marketing traffic:
- Solo plan: reduced 5% commission
- Solo+ and Agency plans: no Spotcast commission
The 2.5% service fee always applies. See the Terms of Service or the full pricing guide.
