🆕@Tidal Direct-to-Fan Sales, Powered by @Square Processing
Independent artists in the US can now sell tracks or albums directly to their fans using Tidal Upload. Artists can set pricing for their work, and receive fast, secure payments directly into their Square account while keeping 90% of each sale before payment processing fees and applicable taxes. No paid subscription is required. Fans can purchase and download tracks even without a paid Tidal subscription.
The argument was never about the relevance of “design”.

One of the most important things I’ve learned over the years is that great work is never built alone. Be kind, respect your team, share credit, name the people who helped, and never leave anyone behind.
