CREATOR GUIDE

How drops and digital products work

Build hype with a countdown, then release, with files for sale if you like.

A drop is a release on your page: a countdown that goes out on a date, or an announcement right now. Add files and a price to sell music, video, photos, PDFs, presets or packs. Fans download from their Library.

The 3 steps

Create a drop

Sell › Drops. Add a title, description and card theme. Schedule it at least 24 hours ahead, or release it now.

Fans get reminded

Followers tap Remind me and get an alert when it’s out. Fan Pro members get 24 hours of early access.
