Payments
Nobody gets paid before the show.
Four steps, the same for every booking on Crackerjack — and the money is accounted for at each one.
- 1
The organiser pays up front
The full amount is paid before the booking is confirmed, so nobody is chasing an invoice after the show and the date is locked.
- 2
Crackerjack holds it
Not sent to the artist, and not ours to keep. It stays held in full from the moment the booking is confirmed until the set has actually happened.
- 3
The show happens
The artist marks the set complete and the organiser confirms it. That confirmation is the trigger — nothing is released before it.
- 4
The artist is paid in one release
The entire amount lands in the artist's balance at once, less our 10% commission. No partial releases, nothing held back, no other deduction.

Compared
Crackerjack vs other platforms.
The others are good at what they were built for. Here are the five things you get here that you would otherwise be arranging yourself.
One platform, not three
Book the artist, publish the event, sell the tickets. Most platforms do one of those well and leave you to stitch the rest together over WhatsApp.
The fee is held until the show happens
The organiser pays up front and we hold the whole amount — not sent on, not ours to keep — until the set has actually happened and been confirmed.
10% commission, said out loud
One rate, published before you book, taken once at payout. Nothing is deducted twice and nothing is held back after the release.
Split the bill with friends
Share a booking across up to eight people and everyone pays their own part on the platform. No one fronts the whole fee and chases the rest over UPI afterwards.
Jack plans the night with you
The built-in assistant drafts a plan — artists inside your budget, a running order, what it adds up to — instead of leaving you with an empty search box.

The organizer pays the full amount up front and Crackerjack holds it — not sent to the artist, and not ours to keep — until the show is done. Once the organizer confirms the set happened, the entire amount is released to the artist in one payment. Nothing is released before that, and nothing is held back after it. The artist marks the set complete, the organiser confirms it, and the money is released once that's done and the artist's release window is reached — 5 minutes after the set for Crackerjack Pro artists, 12h otherwise. Confirming early doesn't skip the wait. Our 10% commission is the only deduction — every figure the artist sees is already net of it. Once released, it shows as a withdrawable balance the artist can cash out to their saved payment method — standard within 24 hours, or in minutes for a ₹149 fee.
No. Crackerjack works for independent artists managing their own bookings and for agencies running rosters of hundreds, all under the same commission-based model.
Our cancellation policy is baked into every contract template — the money Crackerjack is holding is released to the artist automatically based on the notice window both parties agreed to at signing.
You control it per profile. Rates and calendars can be fully public, visible only to verified bookers, or shared by private link — whatever fits how you negotiate.
No. Your profile, calendar, and inbox stay free indefinitely — the only charge you'll ever see is the commission on a booking that actually happened.
