For artistsGetting started as an artist
Set the band up once so every offer, rider and day sheet after that is filled in for you.
- Finish your artist profile: name, photo, bio and links. This is what a venue sees when you ask about a date.
- Upload your rider. It is read into sections, so you are not attaching a PDF to every email.
- Add the people who tour with you on the People screen, and decide who needs app access rather than just a contact card.
- Add your payout details in Settings so a deposit has somewhere to land.
- Search venues, then send your first inquiry from the one you want.
For churches and venuesGetting started as a church or venue
Tell artists what your venue is and what it has, then answer inquiries in one place.
- Fill in the venue profile: capacity, address, photos, and the kind of nights you host.
- Record your tech and amenities: house sound, lights, backline, dressing rooms, hospitality. You do not need a rider, you need what you have.
- Set the booking email so inquiries reach the person who actually answers them.
- Add your team, and give booking authority only to the people who can commit the venue.
- Answer your first inquiry, or ask an artist about a date yourself.
For promotersGetting started as a promoter
Connect with the venues you work, then bring dates to them.
- Fill in your promoter profile: the areas you work, your credits, your availability.
- Connect with the venues you already work with. A connection is the introduction the venue has agreed to.
- Pitch a date to a connected venue. A pitch asks that venue to consider a night. It creates no show and holds no date: the venue sends the inquiry itself.
- Once a show is on, run marketing and ticketing for it from the same record.
For agenciesGetting started as an agency
Work a roster of artists from one place, with no subscription.
- Fill in the agency profile and contact details.
- Add your roster. Each artist keeps their own workspace and you work across them.
- Add the agents on your team and give each the access their job needs.
- Book as normal. An agency-booked artist carries a per booking commission of the lesser of $150 or 5% of the artist fee.
For team membersGetting started when somebody added you
You were invited into a workspace that already exists. Here is what to do first.
- Open the invite email and set your own password. Your access belongs to you, not to a shared login.
- Check which workspace you are in. The workspace control in the header says whose records you are looking at.
- Look at what you can reach. If something you need is missing, it is usually your role, so ask an owner or manager in that workspace.
- Fill in anything the workspace has asked you for, such as your travel details or dietary needs for a show.
Questions
Getting started
What Tourifik does
Tourifik is a marketplace where Christian touring artists and the churches and venues that host them find each other, agree terms, and run the show.
Artists build a profile, search for venues, and send or answer offers. Churches, venues, promoters and agencies work the same shows from their own side.
Once a show is agreed, the same record carries the money, the schedule, the rider, the travel and the marketing, so nobody is emailing a spreadsheet back and forth.
Tourifik is not a party to a booking. The artist and the venue agree with each other, and the platform runs the payments, the paperwork and the tools around it.
Creating an account
Start at the onboarding questions. You answer what kind of work you do first, and the email and password come at the end.
Answering the questions first means the app can set your workspace up around the work you actually do, rather than dropping you into an empty account.
If you arrived from an invite link, a claim link or a ticket, use the sign-up form that link opens instead. It already carries the context the invite was sent with.
You can add people to your workspace after you finish. You do not need everyone signed up before you start.
How Ask AI can help
There are two assistants. The one on these public pages answers from the help articles. Ask AI inside the app also has your own workspace in front of it.
Signed in, Ask AI can answer about your own work. Things people ask it:
- What is on my calendar for the week of the 14th?
- What does this venue have for backline, and does it cover our input list?
- Draft a reply to this offer that counters at $2,500 with a 60/40 door split.
- What is still blank on the advance for Friday?
- Which of our shows have not announced yet?
It reads your shows, bookings, riders, people and settings, and it says where each answer came from so you can check it.
Signed out, the assistant on /help and /contact answers from the published help articles and nothing else. It cannot see accounts, cannot look anybody up and cannot change anything. If your question is about your own account, sign in and ask there, or use the contact form.
Neither assistant is a person. Anything that needs a decision, a refund or a change to your account goes to the contact form.
Talking to a person
The contact form reaches the team directly. It is the right route for anything about your account, your money, or something that looks broken.
Pick the topic that fits, then say what happened and what you expected. If something failed on a particular screen, say which screen.
You do not need an account to use it. If you are signed in, your details are filled in for you and you can still give a different address for the reply.
The assistant on the public pages answers from these help articles only. It cannot see any account, so a question about your own booking, payout or workspace belongs either in the contact form or, if you can sign in, with Ask AI inside the app, which does have your workspace in front of it.
Account and sign-in
You cannot sign in
Sign in with the email address and password on the account. If the password is wrong or forgotten, use the reset link on the sign-in page.
Check the address first. An invite sent to a work address makes an account on that address, so a personal address will not find it.
Use Forgot password to have a reset link emailed to you, then set a new password from that link.
Repeated failed attempts are throttled on purpose, so if you have tried several times in a row, wait a few minutes before trying again.
If the reset email does not arrive, check spam, then contact us and say which address you used. Do not create a second account on a different address: it will not have your workspace in it.
Recovering an account you have lost access to
If you no longer have the email address on the account, the reset link cannot reach you and a person has to help.
Contact us from an address you do control, and say the old address, roughly when the account was made, and the artist, church, venue, promoter or agency it is attached to.
What you type in the contact form is treated as a claim, not as proof of who you are. Anything that changes access to an account is checked separately.
If somebody else on your team still has access, the fastest route is usually for them to add your new address to the workspace themselves.
Changing your password, and changing your email
You can change your password yourself under Settings. Changing the email address on the account is not self-service yet: ask through the contact form.
Open Settings, tap your name at the top, then Sign-in and security to set a new password. If you have forgotten the current one, use the reset link on the sign-in page instead.
There is no screen that changes your account email address today. Send the request through the contact form from an address you control and say which address the account uses now.
The contact form also lets you give a different address to be replied to. That is only for the reply. It never moves your account.
Workspaces and teams
Workspaces, and switching between them
A workspace is the artist, church or venue, promoter or agency whose records you are looking at. One sign-in can hold several.
Everything you see is scoped to the active workspace: its shows, its people, its money, its riders.
If you belong to more than one, switch with the workspace control in the header, or from Settings. The switch changes what every screen is about, so check it before you go looking for a missing show.
A booking agent working several artists, or somebody who runs a venue and plays in a band, will normally have more than one.
Adding people to your workspace
People are added from the People screen. Each person gets a role, and the role decides what they can open and change.
You can add somebody as a contact without giving them app access. That is the right choice for a sound engineer you only need on a day sheet.
Giving app access sends an invite to their email address. They set their own password, and their access is theirs, not a shared login.
Remove access from the same screen when somebody leaves. Removing app access does not delete the history of what they did.
Bookings
How a booking happens
One side sends an inquiry or an offer, the other answers or counters, and the show becomes real when the offer is accepted.
An artist can ask a venue about a date, and a church or venue can ask an artist. Both land in the same booking record.
Terms can go back and forth. Each counter is recorded, so there is one history of what was actually agreed rather than a thread of messages.
Accepting is the moment the date is committed: the fee, the payment schedule and the cancellation terms are all snapshotted onto the booking at that point, and later changes to the platform fee schedule do not reach back into it.
Deposits, milestones and the balance
A booking carries a payment schedule: a deposit at accept, any agreed milestones, and the balance around the show.
Payments run through Stripe. Tourifik is a limited payment collection agent, and the money moves on the schedule attached to the booking.
The artist payout is the captured amount minus the platform commission, on the schedule in the Standard Terms version attached to that booking.
The exact mechanics for your booking are on the booking record itself, because they were agreed there.
Cancellations and refunds
Every booking has one of three cancellation templates attached: Soft, Hard, or Custom. What comes back depends on that template, the timing, and who cancelled.
Under the Soft template, a cancellation 30 or more days out refunds the deposit with no kill fee. Between 14 and 30 days the deposit is forfeited and a 50% kill fee can apply to the remaining balance. Inside 14 days the kill fee can be 100% of the remaining balance.
Under the Hard template the deposit is forfeited at every stage, and inside the windows the balance can still be due. Custom is whatever the parties agreed at booking time.
Force majeure is defined in the Refund Policy and excuses the cancelling party from kill fees under all three templates.
Tickets follow the refund tier the organiser set, and the $3 ticket platform fee is refunded when an event is cancelled and retained on a buyer-initiated refund for an event that still happened.
The Refund Policy is the authority on all of this, including how to raise a dispute. Read it before you cancel, not after.
Show preparation
Advancing a show
Advancing is where both sides fill in the details of the day: timings, sound, hospitality, parking, contacts.
Each question has a side that owns it. The artist answers what the artist knows, the venue answers what the venue knows, and both see the result.
Answers feed the day sheet, so the schedule the crew reads on the day is the same information that was advanced rather than a retyped copy.
Nudges go out as the show approaches when something important is still blank.
Riders, stage plots and what you carry
An artist keeps one rider covering tech and hospitality, plus a stage plot. A venue keeps what it has and can arrange.
Upload an existing rider and the app reads it into structured sections rather than leaving it as an attachment nobody opens. That upload is your master copy, and editing it is how you keep it current.
A show takes what it needs from the master copy when it is prepared. Editing the master afterwards does not rewrite what was already agreed for a show that is under way: that is deliberate, because a venue that has booked crew and hired gear against a set of requirements cannot have them change underneath them. If something has to change for a specific show, change it on that show.
A venue does not carry a rider. A venue records its house sound, lights, backline, dressing rooms and hospitality, which is what an artist needs to know.
Day sheets and sharing them
The day sheet is the single page for the day: schedule, contacts, address, parking, hospitality.
It is built from the booking and the advancing answers, so it stays current while things are still moving.
A shared day sheet link can be issued for people who have no account, such as a local crew or a support act.
Issued links point at the version that was issued, so somebody who printed the sheet yesterday is not surprised by an invisible change.
Marketing
Show marketing packages
A show marketing package is a media budget that funds paid social ads for the show, plus a management fee of 15% of the media budget.
Both the media budget and the management fee are shown at checkout before you buy.
Creative is generated for the show and can be reviewed before it runs.
If a campaign is reduced or stopped, the share of the management fee matching the refunded media budget is refunded, and an order that never goes live is refunded in full. The fee on budget already spent is not refundable.
Posters, photos and the content library
The library holds the artwork for a show: posters, social sizes and the photos they are built from.
Generated artwork is yours to download and post anywhere, not only inside an ad campaign.
Uploaded photos stay in your workspace and are used to build the show artwork.
Ticketing
Selling tickets
Tourifik Ticketing sells tickets for a show with a flat $3 platform fee per ticket, shown to the buyer up front.
The $3 fee is the same whatever the ticket costs, and it is itemised as a service fee at checkout and included in the all-in price shown.
Stripe processing fees apply on top of the $3 and come out of the organiser payout.
Free tickets carry no platform fee.
Buying tickets for a group
Self-serve checkout sells up to 15 tickets at once. Larger groups go through the group request form on the event page.
A group request routes to the organiser, who can answer with a group rate and seats together.
This is the right route for a church, a school or a partner organisation bringing a coach load rather than a family.
Ticket refunds
Tickets follow the refund tier the organiser set for that event, and a cancelled event refunds the $3 platform fee as well.
If an event is cancelled, the refund includes the platform fee.
If you ask for a refund on an event that still happened, the refund follows the organiser tier and the platform fee is retained.
If a show sells out while you are in checkout, the purchase refunds itself automatically.
The Refund Policy has the full rules, including donations and disputes.
Fees and payouts
What Tourifik costs
There is no subscription. The platform takes a commission per booking, a flat $3 per ticket, and 15% of a marketing media budget.
Booking commission is 5% of the artist fee for an independent artist. For an artist booked through an agency it is the lesser of $150 or 5% of the artist fee, which is never more than the independent rate.
The commission that applies is snapshotted on the booking when the offer is accepted, and it is deducted from the artist payout.
Ticketing is a flat $3 platform fee per paid ticket. Show marketing is a 15% management fee on the media budget.
Agencies pay no monthly fee and there is no agency subscription to cancel.
Stripe processing fees are separate and pass through. The full fee schedule is Section 9 of the Terms.
Getting paid
Payouts go to a connected Stripe account. You add yours under Settings before money can reach you.
Stripe runs its own identity and business checks on a connected account. Until those pass, Stripe will hold the payout.
When the money moves depends on the Tourifik Standard Terms version attached to your booking, and the two behave differently. One pays after the show with a chargeback hold; the other forwards each payment as it clears, with no artist hold. The booking record says which one it carries.
The commission is deducted on whichever schedule that version sets. Do not assume a timing from another booking: read the one you are asking about, and the Terms for the version it names.
Verification and permissions
Roles and permissions
Roles decide who can change settings, who can act on money, and who can sign or accept on behalf of the workspace.
Sensitive things are separated on purpose. Editing settings, handling payouts and holding booking authority are not the same permission, so an assistant can run the calendar without being able to sign a deal.
If a button is missing rather than refusing, that is usually your role rather than a bug. Ask an owner or manager in your workspace to check the People screen.
Permissions are re-checked on the server every time, not just hidden in the interface.
Verification and the verified badge
Verification confirms that the person behind an account is who they say they are, and that they have authority to act for the artist, church, venue or agency.
Identity is checked through Stripe. Tourifik keeps the result, not the document.
Authority is separate from identity: being a verified person does not by itself make you the person who can sign for a venue.
A verified badge means the check passed. It is not a rating and it is not an endorsement of anybody as a promoter or a performer.
Privacy and data
What happens to your data
The Privacy Policy is the authority. It lists what is collected, who it is shared with, how long it is kept, and the rights you can exercise.
Your workspace data belongs to your workspace. It is not sold, and the sub-processors that receive data are listed publicly.
You can ask for access to your data, correction, or deletion of your account. Some records have to be retained for a period for legal and accounting reasons, and the retention table in the Privacy Policy says which.
Ask AI keeps notes it has confirmed with you, per workspace, so it does not ask the same question twice. Settings has an AI memory screen where you can read those notes and tell it to forget one. Retention of your wider Ask AI history is covered in the Privacy Policy.
