What are royalty splits?

Now SoundOn can support sharing royalties with anyone from the inviter's country of legal residence, such as artists, feature artists, producers, or even other labels, etc.
We will automatically split earnings between the inviter and collaborators without taking any extra service fee.

Who can be invited to split the royalties?

Only collaborators from the same country of legal residence as the inviter can be invited to share the royalties.
We will ask them to bind invitations with their SoundOn account. If they do not have one, they will need to create a SoundOn account first.

How to create a split?

There are 2 ways to access the Create Royalty Splits page.
  1. After you upload a release, you can click the 'Create Splits Now' button on the release success page
  2. click 'Distribution' tab and select the 'Royalty Splits' page, then click 'Create Splits' button. You can also check all the royalty splits you have created or accepted on that page
Just create a split and add your collaborators to it. Once all of them accept the offers, we'll send the following month's payment to their SoundOn account on the next payment day.

When will the collaborators receive the email invitation?

After the release gets approved by us, collaborators will get an email with the invite code to the email address you added with invitation code and instructions.
Keep in mind that the invitation email is only valid within 30 days. You can click 'invite again' on the split page to send the invitation email again if you want to invite this collaborator again.

When will the splits take effect?

Once all collaborators added on the track accepted the splits, the splits are accepted. Then the according percentage royalties generated from that track will be sent to their account on the next payment date.
Before that, the track's earnings will still be sent to the inviter's account. Please contact the inviter for royalties during that period.
So don't forget to remind your collaborators to check their emails and accept the splits!

Where can I check the detailed reporting?

You can download all data on the 'Analytics & Earnings' -> 'My Earnings'->'Monthly statements' page.
Only the inviter's report includes the payment that all collaborators get from the monthly earnings report.
Collaborators who get invited share a split, can only see their own earning report, they would not able to see other collaborators reporting.

How can I update the splits after submission?

Currently, we do not support the update function on the website. But no worries, submit a ticket and our team will update it quickly for you.
After the updates, you will get a notification and email to inform you of the new updates, and your collaborators will get an email to remind them accept the new offer again.
The new updates will be accepted after all parties accept it and will be effective on the next payment date.
