SoundCloud launches direct music sales feature with zero commission for artists

SoundCloud has introduced a beta feature allowing artists to sell music directly from their profiles on the platform. The move eliminates the need to redirect fans to third-party stores such as Bandcamp or Beatport for purchases. Unlike its competitors, SoundCloud takes no commission on sales, meaning artists keep 100 percent of their revenue. By contrast, Bandcamp charges 10–15 percent per sale, while Beatport pays artists only around 50–65 percent of the sale price. Over 250,000 artists have already linked more than 2.4 million tracks to the new feature since its launch.
