Bandcamp

Selling directly, and the eight days a year when the platform takes nothing.

Bandcamp's standard fee on digital sales is 15 per cent, dropping to 10 per cent once you pass $5,000 in sales and staying there provided you have made at least $5,000 in the previous twelve months. Physical goods are a flat 10 per cent. Payment processing is separate, typically 4 to 6 per cent.

On Bandcamp Fridays the platform waives its revenue share for a midnight-to-midnight window, Pacific time; transaction fees still apply. Bandcamp announced eight dates for 2026 and said the days had "contributed more than $150 million to independent musicians".

Three dates remain in 2026: 2 October, 6 November and 4 December.

Prices checked 10 September 2026. They change without notice; if this is out of date, tell us.
