Start free, upgrade as you grow. No hidden fees, no lock-ins. Cancel anytime. Your first booking is always free.
There are no plans to choose between yet. List as many services as you like, publish your real availability, and take as many booking requests as you can handle — at no cost, with no commission on anything you earn.
Paid plans will come later, alongside online payments. You will get 30 days' written notice before anything is charged, and nothing you have already listed will stop working.
Platform fee: ₹0 right now. FestBooking currently takes no commission on any booking. We introduce you to the customer and share contact details once you accept — you collect the advance and the balance yourself, exactly as you do offline. A commission will only start when online payments launch, and every vendor gets 30 days' written notice first. See clause 7 of the Vendor Terms.
Got questions? We've got answers.
Yes. While we launch there are no plans and no limits — list as many services as you like and take as many booking requests as you can handle, at no cost. No credit card is needed to sign up, and no commission is taken from anything you earn.
No. Today there is no commission on any booking, on any plan. Customer payments never pass through FestBooking — you take the advance and the balance directly, so there is nothing for us to deduct from. When we do launch online payments, a platform fee will apply to bookings paid through the site, and we will notify every vendor in writing at least 30 days before that starts.
Directly, in whatever way you already accept — UPI, cash, bank transfer. FestBooking does not collect the booking amount, so nothing is held back and nothing is deducted. Put your advance and cancellation terms on your listing and confirm them on WhatsApp before the customer pays you.
The moment you accept their booking request. Their name and mobile number appear on the booking, with Call and WhatsApp buttons, and your number goes to them at the same time. From there you talk directly — quote, advance, timings, everything. Use the number for that enquiry only: adding customers to marketing broadcasts or passing their number on is the fastest way to lose your account.
That is between you and the customer, because the money never came through us — we cannot refund it or hold it back. So write your advance and cancellation terms on your listing and confirm them on WhatsApp before taking any money. If you cancel on a customer, refund their advance as per those terms; repeated cancellations affect your rating and can get your listing suspended.
Customer accounts are completely free. Customers browse vendors, send enquiries and make bookings at no extra cost — and right now vendors pay nothing either.
Vendors who keep their calendar current and reply fast see the most bookings — that costs nothing.
