Overview
I make beats, and I didn’t want to sell them on a marketplace that takes a cut of every sale and shelves my catalog next to everyone else’s. So I built my own store. Buyers preview beats, pick a license, check out, and get their files and a signed contract the moment payment clears.
Highlights
- One player, everywhere. I wanted people to keep listening while they shop, so one player follows you from page to page. Only tagged previews stream, so the masters never leave the vault.
- Licenses, not just prices. I sell every beat in tiers from MP3 lease to exclusive. Buy the exclusive and the beat comes off the store.
- Instant delivery, with paperwork. No waiting on me. Files download the second payment clears, along with a PDF contract made out to the buyer.
- An admin studio. I run products, orders, coupons, memberships, the blog and branding from the browser. No code, no redeploys.
How It’s Built
Stripe handles checkout and memberships, and big files go straight to and from storage so nothing times out. Every product page writes its own title from the beat’s tempo, key and genre, so each one is easy to find in search.
Process
I designed and built it solo, and I run the whole shop from the studio.
