![]() Subscriber-exclusive merch is always 10%. If you’ve made $5,000 or more in the preceding year, the share drops to 10%. The revenue share is 15% of whatever you set as your subscription fee, plus a payment processing fee of 2.9% + 30¢. ![]() It lives on its own tab (which you can make the default if you wish), and is also presented as another buying choice on your album and track pages. No, a subscription is just another option for your fans. Is this a replacement for my Bandcamp site? Speaking personally, we don’t want you to knit us a beer koozie, we want you to keep making more great art. Our hunch is that your biggest fans are less interested in funding studio time or mastering for just one album than they are in supporting you in a sustainable way. As they described months spent focusing on campaign rewards, the word we heard most often was “unsustainable.” At the same time, our own experience contributing to crowdfunded projects was that we were motivated by a desire to help an artist we loved, not by a wish for a t-shirt, signed plastic disc, or potpourri sachet. Is this yet another crowdfunding platform?Ī few years ago we noticed many artists using Bandcamp to fulfill the digital piece of crowdfunding campaigns, so we asked them whether they wanted crowdfunding built right into Bandcamp. We want Bandcamp to be an important part of how any artist develops a sustainable career, and we think subscriptions can be a big part of that. Subscriptions are not only more convenient for those fans, they also create predictable revenue for you. ![]() They don’t want to risk missing a release because your announcement drowned in their social media fire hose or got buried under a truckload of spam, and they don’t want the hassle of going through a transaction every time you put out something new. Your biggest fans just want everything you make. Sign up for Bandcamp to get started Already have an artist account? Log in
