Get paid for your work
Work at a studio as a freelancer — hourly, on commission, or both? Bookbaar turns your tracked work into an invoice you send to the studio. You stay the legal issuer of the invoice; Bookbaar does the bookkeeping and keeps both sides looking at the same numbers.
Know your pay terms
Your contract with the studio sets what you earn: an hourly rate, a commission percentage on your completed services, a combination of both (hybrid), or a monthly salary. You accepted these terms with the team invitation or on a proposal card — review them any time under Account → Work → Contracts. New terms a studio proposes only apply once you accept them there.
Track your hours
Hourly and hybrid workers clock their time at Account → Work → Time Tracking:
- Check in when you start (pick the studio if you work at more than one).
- The coffee-cup button starts and ends a break — break time doesn't count as worked hours.
- Check out when you're done.
Finished sessions appear as entries on the same page. Studios marked Auto-tracked record your shifts for you — no clocking needed there. Commission needs no tracking at all: it's counted automatically from your completed services once the customer's invoice is paid.
Send your invoice
At the end of the month, open Account → Work → Earnings and tap the + button:
- Pick the studio (if you work at several) and the period — it defaults to last month.
- Preview shows the full breakdown: your unbilled hours at the rate that applied on each day, commission per completed service, and VAT from your professional profile.
- Send to studio delivers it for review and locks the hours and bookings on it, so nothing is ever billed twice. Back discards the preview if you want to change the period first.
Close the dialog without sending and the invoice stays in your earnings list as a Draft — open it there later to send or delete it.
You're the issuer of this invoice, so check it meets your own country's invoice requirements before sending — Bookbaar is not a payroll service and doesn't give tax advice.
What goes on your invoice
Your invoice shows both sides in full: your name, your business numbers, your address, and the studio's. Your numbers are your own country's — the KVK and VAT number in the Netherlands; the Partita IVA, the codice fiscale and, for a company, the REA number in Italy — printed under that country's names. Enter them under Professional → Profile, in Business details: choose your country first, then fill in what it asks for, all of it or none. Your address goes in the same card. An invoice that identifies its issuer properly is one your studio's accountant can process without asking questions.
The marketplace reads the same numbers: until they are complete, studios can't find you, and you can't apply for work or accept a hire request. Your public page shows your VAT number and, if you have one, your register number (KVK or REA); your codice fiscale is printed on your invoices only.
If your profile is incomplete you can still invoice and still get paid; the missing lines are simply left off.
After sending
The studio reviews the invoice on their side:
- Approved — the studio agrees with it and pays you the usual way (typically a bank transfer), then marks the invoice Paid.
- Rejected — something didn't add up. Your hours and bookings unlock, so you can correct them and send a fresh invoice.
You see every status change in your earnings list. If any tracked hours overlap a day you had time off, the invoice carries a warning so you and the studio can sort it out first.
On salary?
Salaried team members don't send invoices — the studio records your salary month by month and runs real payroll through their payroll software.
