Your fans can play their music the second they buy it—and still keep the download forever.
When a fan buys music directly from your store, it's the ultimate sign of support. They aren't just scrolling past a track on a playlist—they're choosing to invest in you and own your music.
Until now, that moment took a few extra steps. A fan would check out, get a confirmation email with download files, and have to leave your store just to press play. Starting today, that's done. Streaming is now built into every digital release powered by Single.
From Checkout to First Play
The moment a fan checks out, they can start listening right from your Shopify store. They still get the high-quality download files they paid for to keep for their personal archives, but now they also get instant access to stream your music right from their browser.
It's the best of both worlds: instant gratification and something they own for good.
Big Impact, Same 5-Minute Setup
Adding streaming doesn't change your workflow—setting up a digital release still takes less than five minutes on Single, and the perks keep getting better:
- Boosted sales: On average, digital releases drive a 5% lift in store revenue.
- Chart-eligible: Every sale reports directly to major charts, so your fans' support actively pushes you up the ranks.
- Unlimited digital releases: Sell unlimited digital releases direct to your fans on Shopify, on every Single plan.
