Payment Fee

  • Downloads: Payments are based on specific territory rates, so for individually downloaded songs in a store, you will be paid the wholesale price from the retail price of the channel. This excludes added transaction surcharges (e.g., Paypal), minus VAT, and content exploitation fees payable to Collection Societies.
  • Streams: You are paid a proportional share of subscription revenue per month calculated under the terms outlined in our agreement with the store (this typically excludes streams during the subscriber’s free trial). Payments will fluctuate each month, depending on the amount of subscription revenue generated and how often your music was streamed.
