To receive your royalties, add your payee details and your PayPal account in the Distribution Center. It only takes a few minutes, and you only need to do it once.
Before you start
A PayPal account that can receive payments in USD. Royalties are currently paid through PayPal only.
Your legal name, as an individual or as a company.
Your tax ID number, and your VAT number if you have one.
Add your payout details
Open the Distribution Center. Go to Distribution > Go to Distribution Center. The first time, you'll be asked to read and accept our Distribution Agreement.
Open your account settings. Click The Artist Music Group logo in the top-left corner, then the gear icon ⚙️.
Choose Payee settings.
Say how you're paid: as an individual or as an incorporated company.
Enter your legal name and the email address for statement notifications.
Choose your statement summary currency. This is the currency your statement summaries are shown in.
Enter your tax ID number and, if you have one, your VAT number.
Under Payment method, choose PayPal and enter the email address of your PayPal account. Check it carefully: it must match your PayPal account exactly.
Click Save.
What happens next
Your royalties build up on your statements. We pay out once your balance reaches $100.
We email you a tax form before your first payment. Fill it in when it arrives, because your payment waits until it's back with us.
Payments go to your PayPal account in USD. How money works on The Artist Platform explains the timeline.
Troubleshooting
What's happening | What to do |
I got a "payment failed" email | Check that your PayPal account is active, can receive USD and matches the email you entered. Update it, and we'll try again in the next payment run. |
I can't use PayPal where I live | Message us before your balance builds up, so we can talk through your options. |
My payment hasn't arrived | |
I share royalties with collaborators | Each person adds their own payment details when they accept the split invitation. Track Splits |
