Never. The crowd can ask and add a tip, but the DJ decides what enters the queue, when it fits, and whether it plays. ByCrowd creates a signal—not an obligation.

A guest's payment is authorized first. The charge is captured only when the DJ accepts within the response window. If the request is unavailable or expires, the guest is not charged.

No. Tips add intent, but the product connects the full experience: song discovery, live decisions, queue updates, event earnings, planning, analytics, and the story of what happened that night.

With ByCrowd Pro, the DJ sends a private Music Planner link. Clients add Must Plays, Do Not Plays, special moments, notes, and Spotify or Apple Music links. Everything arrives organized inside that event.

Because a dance floor is the worst place for onboarding. Guests scan the DJ's QR, search, send, and track their request in the browser. No download and no required guest account.

Every event keeps its own requests, earnings, timeline, acceptance data, and song insights. The DJ sees the night as a business record—not a queue that disappears when the music stops.
