    Guys... again, this isn't a general chat, lounge or humor section thread, so please stay on topic. While some of you are trying to be helpful, he simply wants to know what website platforms offer direct bank or crypto payouts for his music sales. If you don't know the answer, its perfectly fine to skip this one :winker:

    You can use your own website and sell from there, but that method while the least expensive, is slower again, though you will have total control over it with the only fees being domain name and hosting costs which are minimal if you you already have a fanbase.

    Ok. I didnt expect this many replies so quickly.

    Bandcamp with its mandatory PayPal requirement is a no for me.

    From your suggestions so far I think Audius is the only one that might work. At least it appears so on the surface. The fees involved, store and other custom artist/label page options aren't clearly advertised, which is slightly concerning I must admit. I am reading the FAQ now trying to find this information.

    Does anyone here have experience using it? Are there other similar, possibly better, options to this platform?

    To reiterate, anything that requires PayPal or similar is not what I am looking for.

    Thanks everyone.
