Pay2Party frequently asked questions
Plan clearly, agree on professional boundaries and confirm the details with talent before booking.
What is Pay2Party?
Pay2Party is a marketplace where adults browse professional atmosphere-model and event-talent profiles and contact talent directly. Participation is paid and platonic. Hosts can also post events and invite talent, and talent can browse open events and apply. Platform payments are processed through Stripe.
How does Pay2Party work?
Browse profiles and contact talent through the platform profile/message option to discuss your event and agree booking details. A host can also create an event and invite talent, or talent can browse open events and apply. Agree the duties, timing, payment arrangements, boundaries, and cancellation expectations before booking. Platform payment release depends on completion confirmations and the booking's payment status.
Do I need separate accounts to host an event and to offer talent services?
No. Every Pay2Party account can both host events and offer talent services. When you sign up, a talent profile is created for you automatically, so you can switch between hosting and performing whenever you like. There is no role to choose at signup.
How much does it cost to join Pay2Party?
Creating an account and a talent profile, and browsing talent and events, is free. There is no activation fee. On payments processed through the platform, the existing 3% platform fee is deducted from the talent's payout.
Who can use Pay2Party?
Pay2Party is for adults aged 18 and over. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement to use the platform.
Can I pay someone to join me for a hangout or outing?
Yes. Pay2Party's Companionship category lets adults explore paid, non-sexual, platonic company for hangouts, outings and social events. You are paying for the person's agreed time and participation, not romance, attraction or a personal relationship. Contact talent directly to ask whether your plans fit what they offer; a profile listing does not guarantee availability or acceptance.
What kinds of companionship activities can I arrange?
You can discuss a coffee hangout, dinner, a concert, a group outing, a nightlife or lounge visit, a celebration, or another lawful social event. These are examples of plans you can propose, not a promise that every person offers them. Agree on the activity, Toronto/GTA location, date, duration and boundaries before booking. Venue age restrictions and admission rules still apply.
Is companionship only for large events or groups?
No. You can ask about a one-to-one public outing, a small group hangout or a larger social event, depending on the individual's preferences and services. All arrangements must remain adult, consensual, platonic and non-sexual. Nobody is required to accept a particular activity, location or group.
How do I find and book companionship?
Open Find Talent and select the Companionship category. Browse profiles, then use the profile's message option to contact talent directly. Explain the activity, city, date, start and finish times, and whether it is a one-to-one or group outing. Confirm availability, the agreed rate, expenses, payment arrangements, boundaries and cancellation expectations before arranging a booking.
Are meals, tickets and travel included in the companionship rate?
Do not assume they are included. Agree who pays for meals, concert tickets, venue admission, reservations and travel before booking. Check the person's profile and confirm the full cost directly with them; Pay2Party does not promise a standard companionship rate or availability.
What boundaries apply to paid companionship?
Companionship is for adults aged 18 and over and is strictly platonic and non-sexual. Romance, sexual services, required alcohol consumption and pretending to be someone's partner or unpaid friend are not included. Discuss photography and other expectations in advance, respect personal boundaries, and introduce paid participation honestly. For a first meeting, choose a public place and share your plans with someone you trust. Use the report feature for inappropriate requests; in an emergency, contact local emergency services.
How do I book talent for my event?
Browse talent profiles and contact individuals through the platform profile/message option. Share your city, venue, date, duties, and duration, then agree the booking and payment arrangements together. You can also create an event and invite talent or review applications. Platform payment release depends on completion confirmations and the booking's payment status.
How does escrow payment work?
A platform payment is held while the booking is in progress. Release depends on completion confirmations and the booking's payment status; check your dashboard for the current status.
Can I pay talent in person instead of through the platform?
Yes. Agree payment arrangements with talent before booking. You can pay directly in person or through the platform. For platform payments, release depends on completion confirmations and the booking's payment status.
What happens if the event doesn't happen or no one confirms it?
Payment status and any refund depend on the payment record and review outcome. Check the booking dashboard for the current status; contact support if a refund is still pending.
What if only one person confirms the event?
A booking with only one completion confirmation may require review. Check the booking dashboard for the current payment status and contact support about unresolved confirmation or payment issues. Do not assume an automatic release or refund.
What fees does Pay2Party charge?
Pay2Party charges a 3% platform fee, which is deducted from the talent's payout on payments processed through the platform.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. All platform payments are processed through Stripe, a leading payment provider. Pay2Party does not store your full card details.
How do I list myself as talent?
Sign up for a free account, then complete your talent profile with your name, city, photo, rate, and bio. Set your profile to active so it appears in the Find Talent directory where hosts can discover you.
How do I get paid as talent?
Connect your Stripe account from your dashboard. When the booking is eligible for release, the platform releases the talent payout after deducting the 3% platform fee. Bank payout timing is determined by Stripe and your bank.
Why isn't my profile showing up in Find Talent?
To appear in the Find Talent directory, your profile must include your name, city, and a photo, and be set to active. Once these are in place, your profile becomes discoverable.
Is Pay2Party an escort or dating service?
No. Pay2Party is a marketplace for professional adult paid platonic event participation, including atmosphere models, DJs, hosts, and entertainers. It is not an escort service, dating service, or employment agency. Romance and sexual services are outside the platform's purpose, and illegal use is prohibited.
How do I get a verified badge?
Request verification from your dashboard once you have added your first and last name. An admin reviews the request and, when approved, a verified badge appears on your profile and event listings.
How do I report a user or event?
Use the report button found on talent profiles and event listings to flag inappropriate content, harassment, fraud, spam, or safety concerns for the Pay2Party admin team to review. In an emergency, contact local emergency services rather than waiting for a platform response.
How do reviews and ratings work?
After a completed booking, users can leave honest reviews and star ratings. These reviews appear on talent profiles to help hosts choose the right talent for their event.
What should I send when contacting an atmosphere model or social host?
Share the event purpose, date, exact Toronto/GTA location, guest count, arrival and finish times, and proposed duties. Include access, travel, attire, photography, and accessibility details. Use the platform profile/message option to contact talent directly, then agree the scope, rate, payment arrangements, boundaries, and cancellation expectations before booking.
Does a listed profile mean talent is available for my date or location?
No. Ask the individual about the exact date, municipality, venue, and travel requirements. A profile or an initial message is not confirmation of availability or a booking.
What does paid platonic participation include?
Only the professional social-event duties that you and the individual agree, such as welcoming attendees or participating in group conversation. Romance, sexual services, required alcohol consumption, and implied personal relationships are not included. Do not ask talent to misrepresent themselves as unpaid guests or personal acquaintances.
Can I book someone to guarantee a popular event?
No. Talent participation does not guarantee attendance, popularity, sales, or guest reactions. Plan a specific professional role and introduce paid participants honestly.
What should I check with the venue?
Confirm external-talent permission, admission and age rules, capacity, access arrangements, and permitted activities. A talent booking does not include venue admission, reservations, alcohol service, or security unless appropriate services and arrangements are separately agreed.
Can I list my venue on Pay2Party?
Yes. Any user can create a venue listing with photos, amenities, and details from the dashboard. Your venue becomes publicly visible only after it is reviewed and verified by an admin.
How do I find venues?
Visit the Venues page to browse verified venues for your event. Only venues that have been reviewed and verified by an admin appear in the public directory.
