How to Get Paid on EVEN

To start earning from your releases on EVEN, you'll need to connect a Stripe account. Stripe securely verifies your identity and ensures payouts are transferred directly to your bank account.

Below is everything you need to know based on your role and how payouts work on the platform.

1. For Artists Uploading Releases

You’ll automatically be guided through Stripe onboarding when setting up your artist profile. This creates a Stripe account connected directly to your EVEN profile.

Important: Use the same email address for your EVEN and Stripe accounts to avoid issues down the line.


2. For Collaborators (Producers, Managers, Labels, etc.)

If you’re added to a release with a revenue split, you’ll receive an email prompting you to set up your Stripe account.

📩 Look for: Subject: "Act Now: Secure Your Daily Payouts on EVEN with Stripe!"

Follow the link and complete your Stripe setup before the release goes live to ensure you receive daily payouts. If not completed, your share temporarily goes to the artist until you're fully onboarded.

When Will You Get Paid?

EVEN runs two payout schedules based on your release earnings:

  • Daily Payouts: If your release earns $25 or more

  • Weekly Payouts (Thursdays): If your release earns less than $25

💡 Note: Payouts typically take 24–48 hours to process, depending on your bank.


EVEN’s Revenue Share

EVEN takes a 20% revenue share from each sale. This covers all transaction fees for artists and fans, so you keep things simple.

For example:
If your release earns $100, you’ll receive $80 after applying the revenue share.


What You Need for Stripe Onboarding

Before starting the Stripe setup, have this information ready. Stripe requires it for compliance and secure payments:

  • Legal Name: Must match your government-issued ID

  • Email Address: If you’re an artist, use the same email you used for your EVEN account

  • Date of Birth: For age verification and identity checks

  • Home Address: Required for regulatory purposes

  • Country of Bank Account: Determines where payouts are processed

  • Phone Number: Used for account security and two-factor authentication

Accurate information helps avoid delays and ensures fast payouts.

How Revenue Splits Work on EVEN

Splits let you share revenue with your team—whether that’s managers, producers, labels, or other collaborators. Once you assign splits, EVEN handles the rest.

Setting Up Revenue Splits

You can add collaborators and assign their share during your release upload or while the release is still pending approval. Here’s how:

  • Add their email address

  • Select their country

  • Specify their role (e.g., producer, manager)

  • Set their percentage share

Total splits must equal 100%. Once added, each collaborator will receive an email inviting them to set up their Stripe account.

If they don’t complete onboarding, their share stays in your account until their setup is finished.


Can You Split Revenue Per Track?

Splits can only be set at the album or EP level right now; track-level splits aren’t available yet.


Managing Splits After Upload

You can only edit splits before your release is approved. Once approved, splits are locked.

To adjust:

  • Go to My Releases in your dashboard

  • Select the release

  • Use the Revenue Splits section to update percentages or add new collaborators

Reach out to support to edit splits post-release.


How Record Labels Get Paid

Revenue on EVEN is split into two equal parts:

  • 50% Music Share

  • 50% Access Share

Here’s an example:
If your release earns $1,000:

  • Music Share: $500

  • Access Share: $500

If the label holds 20% of the Music Share, they’ll earn $100.


The artist keeps $400 from the Music Share plus the full $500 Access Share—totaling $900.
