Keep your revenue
Patchline takes a 0% platform fee on storefront sales on paid plans — you keep what you earn after standard Stripe processing. The exact fee breakdown by plan lives on the pricing page.When to use it
- You have superfans willing to pay direct. Bandcamp-style audience.
- You want margins streaming can’t match. A direct sale pays far more per fan than fractions-of-a-cent streaming payouts.
- You’re selling more than standard releases — demos, instrumentals, lossless files, or bonus downloads from your catalog.
- You want a Bandcamp alternative that integrates with the rest of your Patchline workflow (release planning, smart links, fan stats).
