Reach a whole new fan community
When you join Bandcamp, you not only get your own, customizable direct-to-fan store, you become part of a larger marketplace that brings you new fans.
Set up shop, and we connect you to a massive community of vinyl collectors, tapeheads, digital audiophiles, and people who just want to support their favorite artists, and who appreciate that buying directly from them is one of the best ways to do that.
A big audience for both music and merch
In the past year, fans have bought 13.6 million digital albums, 11.1 million tracks, 1.6 million vinyl records, 800,000 CDs, 300,000 cassettes, 50,000 t-shirts, and tens of thousands of posters, buttons, zines, and other physical items on Bandcamp.
Artists first
(the money-where-mouth-is version)
We believe that music is essential to humanity and that the welfare of the artist is paramount. The proof is in our business model: when a fan buys something on Bandcamp, an average of 82% of the money goes to you, and the remainder covers our revenue share and payment processor fees. In other words, we only make money if you make a lot more money. This alignment of interests is core to who we are and the greater mission we serve.
-
Powerful tools for promotion
We automatically notify your Bandcamp followers whenever you release new music or merch, and help spread the word to our broader community via our browsing tools, tag pages, and fan collections. We also provide sharp, customizable music players to embed across the web, and our editorial publication, Bandcamp Daily, covers thousands of records per year, from emerging artists to established acts.
-
Easy uploading of releases
Batch up your tracks for fast upload (or automatically add material via DDEX), then add liner notes, album descriptions, lyrics, and credits to create a more engaging package for fans.
-
Unified accounting
Export machine-readable sales reports with custom date ranges and filter by artist, or hook up to our API for automated reporting. Choose between the potentially overwhelming joy of daily payments, or an accountant-pleasing monthly payout.
-
Flexible fulfillment
View and filter all your physical orders in one interface, print shipping labels or packing slips, and automatically email customers when an item is shipped. Orders flowing like wine? Use our Merch Orders API to easily connect with a third-party fulfillment company.
-
Live events with an integrated merch table
Schedule live streams and listening parties that take place right on your Bandcamp site. We notify your followers automatically, and they can easily buy your music and merch while enjoying the show.
-
Set payments at the release level
Sign an artist who already has a Bandcamp account? You can direct payments on a per-release basis, so money for their independent records can continue going right to them, and payments for their releases on your label can go right to you.

Pricing
A Bandcamp label account is $20 USD/month for up to 15 artists, and $50 USD/month for unlimited artists.
Bandcamp’s revenue share is 10% on merch sales, and 15% on digital music (dropping to 10% as soon as you reach $5,000 USD in sales). Payment processor fees are separate and vary by transaction size.
The remainder—82% on average—goes directly into your PayPal account, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
