# Setting Prices

> How to price your exclusive licenses effectively on BeatPass.

Setting the right exclusive price matters because it controls both how your beat is positioned and how easy it is for a buyer to move from interest to checkout.

## Current Price Fields

For exclusive-capable beats, BeatPass lets you set:

* **Exclusive price**
* **Currency**
* **Exclusive contact email**

Choose **Available** to show a public price and enable instant checkout. Choose **Private** to keep the price and currency controls visible but disabled; buyers will be directed to chat with you instead.

## Current Supported Currencies

BeatPass currently supports these exclusive sale currencies:

* **USD**
* **EUR**
* **GBP**
* **CAD**

## Platform Fee Behaviour

BeatPass adds the platform fee on top of your listed exclusive amount — the buyer pays the fee, not you. This means:

* You keep the full listed price.
* The buyer's total at checkout includes your price plus the BeatPass platform fee.
* The exact fee percentage and flat-rate component are set by the platform and may be shown at checkout.

## Pricing Factors to Consider

### Beat Quality and Demand

Higher prices make more sense when the beat has:

* Strong production quality
* Unique sound or obvious market fit
* Proven play activity or buyer interest
* Premium deliverables such as stems, MIDI, or full trackouts

### Your Catalog Strategy

Think about whether the beat is:

* A broad discovery beat that benefits from **Standard + Exclusive**
* A premium record you want to protect as **Exclusive Only**
* A flexible catalog beat where a moderate exclusive price makes sense

### Your Reputation

Pricing should also reflect:

* Your current credits
* Your catalog depth
* The quality of your profile presentation
* How often buyers already engage with your beats

## Contact Email Matters

BeatPass requires a contact email on exclusive-capable tracks. Buyers may use it when:

* They have licensing questions
* They want to discuss custom terms
* Instant purchase is not the right fit for the situation

## Payment & Payout Notes

When someone completes an exclusive purchase:

1. The buyer pays your listed price plus the BeatPass platform fee.
2. BeatPass records the sale in your producer finances.
3. BeatPass queues the producer amount through the payout route shown for exclusive sales in **Finances**.

<Info>
  You need an active payout setup before BeatPass can pay out the sale. Once your BEATPAY bank account is active, it handles your exclusive sales and subscription earnings together.

## After the Beat Sells

Once a beat is sold exclusively:

* The beat is marked **Sold**.
* The exclusive terms are locked.
* BeatPass stops new standard licenses for that beat.

That means price changes only matter **before** the sale happens.

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I change the price later?">
    Yes, as long as the beat has not already sold exclusively.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Should every beat have the same price?">
    Usually no. It is more practical to price around demand, deliverables, and how premium the beat really is.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if I want to talk to the buyer first?">
    Choose **Private** under **Price & availability**. The track will not have an instant-purchase price, and interested buyers can use BeatPass chat to discuss the offer with you.
