First and foremost, why wouldnt you try to get some additional bookings through Hubista? The platform is build on an idea that you as a seller dont need to have your own studio or venue, but that you can go to the buyer! This will help you to cut your costs and it will also lower the barrier for buyers to consume more service once it’s literally behind the front door. The aim is that shouldnt take more than 15 minutes to create a listing and start selling and the best thing is that you dont need to sell in order to get gigs. Buyers can browse your availability while you can be focusing on other things. The only action that is required from you is to review the booking request, approve the booking and deliver the service!

You as a seller are in control of the availability shown on the platform. The calendar will show your availability 6 months forward, and you can easily chance the availability as you go. The ambition has been to make it as easy as possible and therefore we work with so called base availability that will be replicated every week going forward. Also you can add exceptions when it comes to receiving time for example for doctor visits or similar. Last but not least you can add additional time between bookings that will help you to move around between bookings!

In order to provide options we have currently two available options for bookings: request to book and instant booking. As you might guess the request to book option will open a chat functionality before the actual booking is completed. The buyer may have questions such as “what kind of music do you plan”. After the possible unclarities have been clarified the buyer can easily send an instant booking to secure the booking. Through instant booking the buyer will indicate that they would like to book a specific service at a specific time. In order to make sure that you have seen and reviewed the booking, it is required that you as a seller approve the booking within 48 hours from the booking. Otherwise the booking will be automatically cancelled.

We aim to provide as much information as possible for you to do well informed decisions. As a seller we will provide you with the booking details: service, time and delivery details covering postal code and city.

In order to make it even easier you are able to add extra time between the booking in order to secure that you can move from location A to location B in time.

As a service provider you will be able to determine the geographical area where you would like to provide your services (e.g. Stockholm or Uppsala). Buyers on the other hand will determine the exact location where the service delivery will take place. However, you will always be able to review the desired service delivery address in prior to accepting the booking. All booking requests must be approved by you as a seller
