For venues
Pay the acts you book, and their super, in one go.
Since 1 July 2026, super on a performance fee has to reach each player's fund within seven business days of payday, even when the act invoices you with an ABN. Gigsorted works out who's owed what and makes the files you upload, from details each player puts in themselves.
Free while we're in beta.
How it works for a venue
1 Add your venue
Your venue's name, its ABN, and the bank account you pay acts from. We check the ABN on the Australian Business Register.
2 Get your acts on your list
Send an invite to the email address you already book each player through, or print your QR code and put it up backstage for them to scan. Each person puts in their own bank account and super fund, so you never collect or type anyone's details.
3 Add each gig
Pick who's playing and put in their fees. Super is worked out on the spot, so you see what the night really costs before you pay anything.
4 Download, pay, mark it done
You get one file for your bank, one for your clearing house, a record for each person you paid, and an invoice from each of them for your books. Upload the two files, then mark the gig paid, and the seven business days are counted for you.
The money goes from your bank to theirs and to their funds. It never passes through Gigsorted. Already do payroll for your staff? Keep it. This is just for the acts.
What it checks for you
ABN check
Every ABN is looked up on the Australian Business Register, which shows whether it belongs to a sole trader, a company, a partnership or a trust. Super is worked out for the people it's owed to, and someone the register confirms is paid through a company or partnership has none added.
Booking check
The first time you book someone, we email them to ask whether you really booked them. Until they say yes, their details stay out of your payment files. If they say no, the connection ends and we look into it.
Each player's own fund
When a four-piece plays, you pay each of the four, and each one's super goes to their own fund, worked out on their own fee.
Bank change alerts
If someone changes their bank account, they get an email about it, and your list shows it changed since you last paid them, so you can check before the money goes.
Details you never hold
You only ever see bank and member numbers masked, like ****4521. The real numbers are only in the files you download, which are deleted from Gigsorted after 7 days, and each person is emailed every time their details are used.
Invoices for your books
An invoice from each person for each payment, with super shown separately, and a tax invoice with the GST on it for anyone registered for GST. Download a month at a time as bills for Xero, or as a spreadsheet.
What it costs
Everything is free while we're in beta. After that, each person you pay for a gig is one payment: the first 20 in a month are free, then $1.50 each, and a month never costs more than $15. That covers up to 100 payments a month; if you pay more people than that, we'll work it out with you.
Three trios a week is about 40 payments a month, so $15. A duo on Fridays is about 9, so nothing. Being paid is always free, so it costs your acts nothing.
Questions venues ask
Do the acts have to be on Gigsorted?
Yes. Each person you pay puts in their own details once, from the invite or the QR code, and after that every venue and band that books them can pay them without asking again. Your gig screen shows who you're still waiting on. Already hold everyone's details from your own forms? You can import the spreadsheet instead, and choose whether anyone is emailed about it.
Can someone pretend to be one of our acts?
A person's details are tied to the email address they sign in with, so invite the address you already book them through. The first time you book someone, they confirm the booking from that inbox, and if their bank account ever changes, they're told and you see it. Nothing on the internet can prove who a person is, and the ABN lookup shows an ABN exists, not who owns it. What it does is make sure the details come from the same inbox you already trust with the booking.
What if the act is a company or a partnership?
Mark them as a business on the gig and the register check confirms it. No super is added, the files say so, and they send you their own invoice. A fill-in hired for the night isn't part of the partnership, so they're paid on their own line like anyone else.
Which clearing house do we upload the super file to?
Any of the main ones. The super file is the standard format they all take, including the free ones many super funds offer their employers. What happens when you pay walks through it with example files.
We use MYOB, not Xero.
MYOB's online version can't import bills from a file, so take the spreadsheet and the invoices PDF. Xero users get a file that imports each invoice as a draft bill.
What about acts we stop booking?
Remove them from your list, and they're emailed to say so. You can't remove someone who's on a gig you haven't paid yet, so nobody drops out of a payment by accident.

Gigsorted is new and in beta, so you'll find the odd rough edge. It's free while it is, and every report makes it better.
