First Steps

1. Access Your Producer Dashboard

Click your profile avatar and select Backstage to open your Producer Dashboard. The sidebar includes Dashboard, Finances, Activity, Progress, Leaderboards, My Beats, and My Collections.

The Backstage menu item only appears after approval when you have producer permissions.

2. Complete Your Producer Profile

Make your profile more trustworthy and easier to discover:

• Upload a high-quality profile picture
• Add a bio describing your style and sound
• Link your social accounts
• Add photos to your about section if you use them

3. Set Up Payouts

To receive earnings, connect Stripe:

1. Open your producer Finances area
2. Start the Stripe Connect onboarding flow
3. Provide the identity, tax, and bank details Stripe requests for your country

You can upload immediately after approval, but BeatPass needs a completed Stripe Connect setup before it can pay you out.

Upload Your First Beat

1. Open the upload page

   Start from your producer workspace and go to the upload tools.

2. Add your beat file

   Drag and drop or choose your audio file. The current producer upload flow only accepts WAV files.

   Add cover art, track name, artists, BPM, key, scale, and any helpful metadata such as genres, tags, and description.

4. Choose a licensing model

   Pick Standard Licensing, Standard + Exclusive, or Exclusive Only. If you enable exclusive licensing, add a contact email and review the license terms.

5. Save

   Wait for the fingerprint check to finish, then click Save Track.

Build Your Catalog

Cover Art Is Required

New tracks and new collections both need cover art before they can be saved. BeatPass supports custom uploads and genre-matched cover art presets.

Complete the Core Metadata

For each beat, make sure you fill in:

• Track Name
• Artists
• Key
• Scale
• BPM (60–200)

Descriptions, genres, tags, collection assignments, and sample-safe status are not always required, but they make your catalog easier to discover and manage.

Use Collections Where It Helps

If you release beat packs, tapes, or themed drops, use Create Collection on the upload page. Collection tracks inherit the collection’s artists, genres, and tags when they are first uploaded.

Understand Your Earnings

As an approved producer, you can earn from:

• Subscription contribution tied to BeatPass listening activity
• Exclusive sales when buyers purchase your configured exclusive option

For exclusive sales, the buyer pays the platform fee on top of your listed price. Your producer finances area records the sale, payout readiness, and Stripe Connect status.
