Getting Paid

Tracksynk pays out through Stripe Express. Before you can upload a track, you connect a Stripe Express account through the link in your account at /account/info (or via the prompt in the upload flow). Stripe walks you through identity verification and bank account connection.

This is a hard requirement, not optional. If you haven't connected Stripe, you can create an artist profile but you can't publish a track.

Stripe Express is currently available for artists in 15 countries: US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Singapore, Austria, Brazil. We pick this up from the country you select before starting Stripe onboarding.

Country cannot be changed after the Stripe account is created. If you set this wrong, contact us and we can disconnect and let you redo it (with a fresh Stripe account).

Stripe pays out automatically on a rolling schedule. Default is daily, with a 7-day rolling reserve for new accounts. Once your account has built up a payment history, the rolling reserve drops and payouts hit your bank within 1 to 2 business days.

You can adjust payout frequency from your Stripe Express dashboard (linked from /account/info).

75% of every track price. If you sold a $100 StudioSynk, you receive $75. The 5% service fee on top of the track price goes to Tracksynk, not to you.

Stripe takes a small processing fee from their payout infrastructure, but the 75% you see in your sales tab is what hits your bank. The Stripe fee comes out of the platform's 25% cut, not yours.

You're responsible for declaring earnings in your jurisdiction. Tracksynk doesn't withhold tax. Stripe provides annual statements you can hand to your accountant.

For US artists, Stripe will collect W-9 or W-8 information during onboarding and issue a 1099 if you cross the IRS threshold for the year.
