Payments will fluctuate each month, depending on the amount of subscription revenue generated and how often your music was streamed.
Paid Downloads:
Downloads are available through Boomplay. Payouts are based on territory-specific rates, so for songs downloaded individually, you will be paid the wholesale price of Boomplay's retail price, calculated based on terms set out in TuneCore's blanket agreement with the store.
