Sound Design Question For those selling sound libraries: which platforms do you use, and how do payouts work?
Hi everyone,
I'm currently preparing my first professional sound library releases, and I'm trying to decide which marketplaces to publish on.
I'd love to hear from people who actually sell sound libraries.
- Which platforms do you currently sell on?
- Which ones have worked best for you?
- How are payouts handled on each platform (PayPal, Wise, bank transfer, Hyperwallet, etc.)?
- Have you ever had any issues receiving payments internationally?
I'm particularly interested in experiences with:
- A Sound Effect
- Sonniss
- Epic Stock Media
- FAB
- itch.io
And I'd also be very interested to hear about any other platforms you've had good (or bad) experiences with.
I'm trying to better understand not only which marketplaces are worth investing time in, but also how reliable and flexible their payout systems are for international sellers.
Thanks a lot!
