Contract, signature, deposit — one place

No separate e-sign subscription, no payment link you have to hunt down in an old email.

Payment collection on every plan; unlimited contract templates and payment reporting on Pro.

A lot of DJ companies are stitching together three tools to get from booking to paid: something to write the contract, a separate e-sign service, and a Stripe or Square link floating in an email somewhere. Encore keeps it in the portal the host is already using to chat with you and check the run sheet.

Contracts use tokens for price, date, and add-ons, so you’re not manually editing a Word doc every time someone books you. They sign right there. Deposits and balances go through the same flow on every plan — Pro adds reporting and refund tracking on top.
