How Artist Storefronts Work on Leerecs

What Is an Artist Storefront?

An artist storefront is a dedicated page where fans can browse and buy your music directly from you. Unlike streaming playlists or social media profiles, a storefront is a commerce destination — every visit has the potential to convert into a sale, and every sale generates direct revenue for the artist.

On Leerecs, every artist account includes a storefront that can sell:

• Digital downloads (full album, individual tracks, or bundles)
• Vinyl LP (12" print-on-demand, fulfilled per order)
• Cassette tape (standard and colored variants)
• CD (jewel case, digipak, or cardboard sleeve)

Setting Up a Leerecs Storefront

Setting up a storefront on Leerecs involves:

1. Create an account — Register at leerecs.com and set up your artist profile with biography, photo, and links
2. Upload your music — Submit tracks with proper metadata: title, artist, ISRC (if you have one), genre, and description
3. Create an album listing — Group tracks into an album, add artwork, set the UPC, and choose which physical formats to enable
4. Set pricing — Choose your price per format. Physical formats have a manufacturing floor cost; you set your margin above that
5. Publish — Your storefront goes live and becomes discoverable on Leerecs and via search engines

Pricing Your Music on Leerecs

Pricing is flexible. Typical price ranges for Leerecs products:

• Digital album: $7–$12
• Individual track: $0.99–$1.99
• Cassette: $15–$25
• CD: $12–$20
• Vinyl LP: $25–$40
• Bundle (vinyl + digital): $30–$45

How Payouts Work

When a fan buys from your Leerecs storefront, the payment is processed and the artist receives their share after the platform fee and (for physical orders) manufacturing + shipping costs. Digital sales have the highest margin because there are no manufacturing costs. Physical sales have higher gross revenue per transaction with lower margin.

The Advantage of Owning Your Fan Relationship

Unlike streaming platforms, when a fan buys from your Leerecs storefront, you receive their contact information and build a direct relationship. That fan can be notified of future releases, invited to exclusive presales, and engaged without depending on an algorithm to surface your music. This is the core principle of direct-to-fan commerce: the artist owns the relationship, not the platform.
