Pay back your collaborators with recoupments

·
Published on

In 2017, DistroKid launched Splits as a super easy way to automatically split any percent of earnings, from any track, with anyone.

You can split with producers, featured artists, and any collaborators who worked on the song—and they’ll get paid automatically. Splits have already been added to more than 1.5 millions tracks with hundreds of thousands of collaborators.

Starting today, you can also set up recoupments for any collaborator.

For example, let’s say one of the collaborators, Hayden, paid $500 for a beat, music equipment, etc. Hayden can now be paid back first—before the normal splits kick in for everyone else.

You can even have multiple members of the team recoup before other members. Sounds complicated, but it’s not.

Splits with recoupments is now available for all DistroKid members. Sign into DistroKid and click Splits on the top navigation to get started.

Enjoy!
