(CIF B24895005) --- # From the DJ's QR code to the dance floor ## How does WeSound work? WeSound is an app and website to request songs from a live DJ and support them with a tip. Scan the DJ's QR code with your phone camera, search for your song, choose a tip and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. The tip is held and only charged if the DJ accepts your request. Scan the DJ's QR code and request your song with a tip. The DJ decides whether it plays. ## This is how you request a song It's the same flow you'll see in your browser when you scan a DJ's QR code. Names and amounts are examples. ## How do I request a song from the DJ on my phone? Nothing to install and no account to create. It all happens in your phone's browser. 1. **Scan the DJ's QR code.** Point your phone camera at the code the DJ has in the booth or on a screen. Their page opens in your browser, at an address like wesound.pro/j/dj-name. 2. **Find your song.** Type the title or the artist. Search uses the Spotify catalogue, so you get the exact version you want to hear. 3. **Add a dedication if you like.** It's optional. We check every dedication before it reaches the booth, and some words aren't allowed. 4. **Choose your tip.** There are four levels: A little thanks, Good tip, Big tip and Legend. They start from the minimum tip the DJ sets for the night. 5. **Pay and wait for the answer.** With Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. The tip is held on your card. With the app, or by email if you give it, you'll know if the DJ accepts. ## From scanning the QR code to hearing your song Scan, pick a song and a tip, the DJ accepts and it plays. The song and amounts are examples. ## When is the tip charged? When the DJ accepts your request. Paying doesn't charge you yet: the amount is held on your card. If the DJ declines or the time to answer runs out, the hold is released and you pay nothing. You pay exactly the tip you choose. There are no surcharges or service fees for guests. If the DJ accepts your song and it never plays, you can tell us in the app with the "The song didn't play" option. We look into it and, if you're right, we refund you. The app shows how long you have to let us know. ## How does WeSound work for a DJ? DJs use the WeSound app. Signing up is free. 1. **Create an event.** Give it a name, the venue and the night, and set the minimum tip for that event. 2. **Go live and show the QR code.** When the set starts, the DJ activates the event. Anyone who scans their QR code lands straight on that set. The code can be shown in the booth or shared as a link. 3. **Accept or decline each request.** Every request arrives with the song, the dedication and the amount. One tap to decide. If the DJ declines, the guest pays nothing. 4. **Mark the song as played.** When the song goes on, the DJ taps “Played”. If it isn't marked in time, the request is cancelled and the guest gets the tip back. 5. **Get tips paid to their account.** The DJ sets up how they get paid, with Stripe verification, and tips from accepted requests go to their bank account. WeSound keeps 15% of each accepted tip. ## Who does what, and when? The same request seen from the dance floor and from the booth. | Moment | Guest | DJ | | --- | --- | --- | | Before the set | Nothing. No install, no sign-up. | Creates the event and sets the minimum tip. | | When it starts | Looks for the DJ's QR code in the booth or on a screen. | Activates the event and shows the QR code. | | The request | Picks a song, an optional dedication and a tip, and pays. | Sees the song, the dedication and the amount. | | The answer | Gets notified when it's accepted or declined. | Accepts or declines with one tap. | | The charge | The tip is only charged if the DJ accepts. | Receives the tip minus WeSound's 15%. | | The song | With the app, sees when it plays. | Taps “Played” when it goes on. | ## Questions about how it works ### Do I need to download an app to request a song? No. Scan the DJ's QR code and do everything in your phone's browser. The app is for following your request: it tells you when the DJ accepts or declines it and when it plays. ### Can I request several songs from the same DJ? Yes, but there's a limit on how many active requests you can have with the same DJ at once. Once one is resolved, you can make another. ### Does the DJ have to play my song? No. The DJ decides what plays in their set. That's why the tip is only charged if they accept your request. ### Does it connect to the DJ's software? WeSound doesn't connect to DJ software. Requests arrive in the WeSound app on the DJ's phone and the DJ decides which ones to play. ## Keep reading - [For guests](https://wesound.pro/en/guests): What you need to request a song and how to follow it. - [For DJs](https://wesound.pro/en/djs): Your QR code, your events and how you get your tips. - [Pricing](https://wesound.pro/en/pricing): Who pays what and how much WeSound keeps. - [Security and payments](https://wesound.pro/en/security): How your tip is held and charged. ## The next song is yours Look for the DJ's QR code in the booth.
