@steeltippeddove they some how made shopify go from charging $40 a month + 2.9% to charging you 35% 😭💀

[Sik World @SikWorld]

i’m genuinely impressed how you somehow did the math that took shopify charging you $40 a month + 2.9% fee to somehow charging you nearly 35% 😭

this is so dishonest lol

your math checks out under the assumption that the artist cares for billboard & use’s luminate lol

Shopify has many apps where fans can easily download digital music from you with a PWYW method via third party apps in the store & have no association with luminate & that crazy $3,240 fee you added

as someone who sells merch & sold music on shopify, the fees you presented don’t come close

you’d absolutely lose significantly more money trading 20% verses setting up shop yourself via shopify

like i said i think new artist it’s great

but to russ’s point in his next response, as you grow as an artist the math favors just owning your own shop

20% is a lot

[Sik World @SikWorld]

my thoughts are imagine paying shopify that $350 a year, but you generated $20,000 in sales - you’d net $19,650

vs. even, if you generated $20,000 in sales in a year, you’re paying $4,000 - you’d net $16,000

if you generate even more the numbers look ALOT crazier

i think if you’re a brand new artist & don’t have any resources / money, even is great & can have a place, but if you’re established & have a fan base… 20% is a HEFTY chunk imo

i got the same thing - i never even joined the accelerator plan they just said i’m in it now

almost all my songs are flagged now to - reddit is saying its a glitch, some worry its real - i reached out to them & they’re gunna reply as they advanced it forward

my music on tunecore has well over 300 million streams alone, just on tunecore lol doesn’t makes any sense why this would happen so i’m leaning more towards a glitch

hopefully it gets resolved cuz i have no 3rd party anything, everything organic on my end & i’ve read a lot on reddit ppl are the same

hopefully this gets resolved
