How do I get paid?
Your pay is based on the amount you set for your rental equipment minus taxes and the StageWing™ processing fee (if applicable based on your subscription). All payments are made through the StageWing website, so you’ll need to add your banking information to get paid.
CashApp and PayPal accounts are accepted as well. You'll just need a routing and account number.
What to do before and after a rental?
Before the rental, please be sure to take photos of your equipment in its current condition. After the rental, inspect the equipment like you would a rental car, so each party is clear on the condition of the equipment at the time of pickup.
What happens after I am approved to use StageWing™?
After you receive an application approval email from StageWing™, you will
1. Complete your Provider profile
2. Select a Subscription package
3. Create a Rental Shop, updating your store profile with contact info, store logos and a shop banner.
You can even contact us for our free concierge service to list your items within the community for you, all you have to do is review.
Do I need insurance for my equipment to be able to provide it through StageWing™?
Yes, we recommend all providers of equipment obtain equipment insurance AND voluntary parting insurance before listing their equipment for rental. StageWing™ Members can purchase insurance through their own insurance provider or through our preferred insurance provider Athos Insurance.
For more info on equipment insurance and voluntary parting insurance - please visit our Insurance page.
Please note: Most equipment insurance DOES NOT cover internal causes of loss such as mechanical breakdown, wear and tear, unknown causes of malfunction, hidden or latent defect, rust, oxidation, corrosion, or discoloration. Also understand this equipment insurance is NOT an Extended Warranty or Service Plan on your equipment.
How will the rental be given to the person (renter)?
After a booking has been made, contact the renter through StageWing™ to set up the delivery/pickup location and time. Feel free to set your own meeting place or suggest a public space like a mall, restaurant parking lot, the renter's event space, etc. Note: It's important to keep conversations in StageWing™ as a part of the official rental record.
Is there an upsell option if the provider can deliver & setup gear?

How does the pay breakdown work?

Your profit for each rental is directly deposited into your StageWing™ wallet and you can transfer it to your bank/PayPal/Cash App account connected. Rental Security Deposits are held and refunded to the renter after we confirm that you have received your equipment back satisfactorily, if not they will be sent to you.

Do I need to add a credit card to use the free trial?

Where do I meet the renter on the day of the reservation?
Prior to the first day of reservation, contact the renter to set up a meeting place. We encourage the providers and renters to meet at the gig venue that way you have a space to test the equipment together. If the gig venue is not an option, set up a meeting in a public place like a mall parking lot or a coffee shop. If you have any questions, please contact us via telephone 833-784-9464, we're here to help!
