How It Works in 60 Seconds

Every licence has two sides — a rights-holder (publisher, estate, agent, or playwright) and a producer (school, community theatre, professional company, festival). The platform takes the licence from first enquiry to final royalty payment without spreadsheets or chasing emails.

The eight steps of a licence

1. Request — producer picks a title and submits dates, venue, capacity
2. Quote — fee and royalty are calculated instantly from your pricing rules
3. Approval — auto-approved (if safe) or reviewed by the rights-holder
4. Contract — generated from a template you control
5. Signed — producer types their name; we record IP and timestamp
6. Paid — Stripe Checkout activates the licence the moment it clears
7. Active — watermarked scripts release, cast invites go out, alterations can be requested
8. Closed — close-out is submitted, any overage royalty is invoiced, materials lock

The tabs you'll actually use

• Catalogue — browse and search titles, request perusals
• Requests / Approvals — your queue of incoming or outgoing licences
• Licences — every active licence with scripts, seats and close-out
• Billing — payments, payouts and tax invoices
• My catalogue (rights-holders) — your titles, pricing and storefront
