When you sell a beat, buyers choose a license, and you decide exactly what each one includes. You can offer several tiers per beat (for example, MP3 lease, WAV lease, and exclusive).
What you can set on each license
- Name and price
- Description and full terms text
- Usage limits: streams, distribution copies, music videos, and radio stations
- Allowed formats: for example MP3, WAV, or stems
- Exclusive: marks the license as exclusive (the buyer gets sole rights; see Selling a beat exclusively)
- Popular: highlights a tier to nudge buyers toward it
- Display order and active status
Setting it up
- Open your license templates.
- Create a tier, set its price, limits, and terms.
- Apply the tiers to a product.
- Save, buyers will see the tiers in the license picker at checkout.
Tips
- Write your terms clearly. They're the actual agreement between you and the buyer, so spell out what is and isn't allowed.
- A common ladder is MP3 → WAV → Stems → Exclusive, with rising prices and rising limits.
- Mark one tier Popular to guide buyers toward the option you'd prefer they pick.
