The Fanpage is designed to be a perfect mobile website, allowing your fans to instantly access and engage with all elements of your fan offerings, from watching your music videos and pre-saving your new releases, to buying merchandise from your embedded web store. Almost all elements of the Fanpage are fully customisable.

The Fanpage builder consists of four sections:

In this section, decide on a color scheme for your Fanpage by selecting a background color, text color, and your primary and secondary colors, which determine the color of your various buttons and frames.

Add a profile picture and a banner image to sit behind it at the top of the page. You can add your logo icon to sit in the top left corner of the page, and a background image for those who are viewing your Fanpage on a desktop. You can also replace your banner image with a banner video, which expands and plays when clicked on, and replace your standard format artist name with your own image for a better representation of your brand.

Whenever you make a change, make sure to click Save draft at the bottom of the page to save your progress, and Publish when you are ready to push your changes live to the public.

In this section, decide on what content your Fanpage will contain. Choose any of the following elements:

Links: A simple button linking to any webpage.

Video: Embed a Youtube video or playlist using its unique video or playlist ID found at the end of its url.

Releases: Display any of your latest releases with their release date and cover art, linking to all your DSPs.

Presaves: Create a section where fans can presave all your future releases, applicable to Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer. Fans must first enter an email in every case in order for Openstage to have a data reference point.

Events: Select from one of three API integrations - Bandsintown, Songkick, or Seated - to have your upcoming show dates autofill onto your Fanpage. Alternatively, in the event that you have some unlisted shows, set them up yourself by clicking custom events. Add dates, locations, ticket links and background images for each event. Add more events by clicking the plus symbol.

Shopify: If you have connected our Shopify API integration, a guide to which can be found in Openstage’s settings under the heading E-commerce add-on, embed your Shopify webstore within your Fanpage.

Sign up: Have your fans sign up and provide their information in order to be on your email and SMS contact lists.

Press the plus symbol to add a new element. Turn off the slider in the top left corner of each element to hide it from public view. Use the arrow keys in the top right corner of each element to switch the order, and hit the trash can to delete an element.

In this section, configure certain details of your own subscriber only zone.

Tick the ‘Allow new subscribers?’ box to make your subscription zone visible and allow people to sign up for it. Tick the ‘Allow donations?’ box to allow fans to donate to you, and set a default donation amount after ticking.

Name your subscriber zone something unique to you that reflects a notion of this being your own unique fanclub. Add a description, and decide on text for the call to action label / ‘subscribe’ button.

Below, add a message for subscribers that will display once they log in.

NOTE: To set up your subscription tiers and add or remove subscriber content, head over to the ‘Subscriber content’ area under the ‘Engage’ tab.

In this section, iron out the last few details.

If necessary, add a password to protect from fans viewing the fanpage. This is only advised for specific circumstances such as sharing page drafts with your team ahead of releasing to the public.

Settings is also where you can determine what data you ask fans for when they use the ‘Sign up’ element.

Lastly, add Google and Meta pixel IDs for end-to-end fan tracking of ad campaigns.
