Frequently Asked Questions


Do I have to play every song that gets requested?

Nah, you’re the DJ here! You can accept or decline any song request that comes your way.


How can I avoid drowning in song requests all night?

Want to dial down the volume of requests? Just bump up your minimum tip amount. That way, you’ll only get requests that meet or exceed your new minimum.


What if my crowd doesn’t know about Emsi?

No sweat! We provide QR codes and promo tools to quickly onboard new users to Emsi and funnel them straight to your profile.


Is there a cap on the number of song requests I can receive?

Sky’s the limit! If you want to control the flow, you can adjust your tip amount. Want more requests? Pump up your profile on Emsi!


Can I backtrack on an accepted song request?

Once you’ve hit ‘accept,’ there’s no turning back within the app. But hey, you can always issue a refund from your Stripe dashboard or sort it out with the user in person.


What’s this ‘acceptance rate’ all about, and how can I boost mine?

Your acceptance rate is just the ratio of accepted requests to total requests. To pump up your rate, just accept more songs! Plus, it helps your crowd gauge how busy you are. Overflowing with requests? A low acceptance rate gives users a heads-up that you’re swamped.

 

Is there an upper limit for tipping?

Go big or go home—there’s no max on tips!

 

How does Emsi make bank?

For every song request that’s a hit, we charge a flat fee of $0.50 and take a 25% cut from the DJs and clubs. This covers those pesky payment fees and keeps our app humming along.
