What is the Self-Purchase Option?
Qrates offers artists and labels the option of purchasing their vinyl directly from their crowdfunding projects at pressing cost anytime during the funding period.
The benefits of self-purchasing records:
- Store and sell records later. By self-purchasing, you secure your inventory and add stocks to Qrates Storage and may continue to sell on Qrates at the pre-order or retail price you decide.
- Keep a select number of records for yourself to sell at gigs or local shops.
- Self-purchase the remaining number of records to successfully close your crowdfunding project.
How to make a self-purchase during your crowdfunding campaign?
To self-purchase: Login > Menu Bar (icon) > Projects > Dashboard > Purchase your own vinyl
We highly recommend selecting Store and sell later in the purchase type section when self-purchasing your records. This makes it possible for you to keep your records at the shipping center at no charge and continue to sell them as a Make & Sell project through Qrates.
