Payment using Soundrop Balance
L

Make it to where I can release a song for 99 cents using the in browser balance so I can release singles without having to wait until it reaches 20$ or more to release.

Well... I understand that this is not a place to discuss methods, but a place to vote to push what we want to see more quickly available.
To allow payment using the available balance, Soundrop simply adds a new payment method to the checkout. Currently there are two options: Paypal and Credit Card. Just include a checkbox next to the current balance to check and choose to use part of the balance for payment. You can develop this code without impacting the production environment.

YES THIS IS A FANTASTIC IDEA!!

Harris Marie LaVonna Fantastic idea with some limitations. On the 15th of every month, ( and sometimes 13th and 14th due to weekends), Soundrop automatically send EVERYTHING in your balance when you hit $20 threshold. SO soon as they send out your payment on the 15th, you balance becomes emty, if i have plans to release a song on the 20th, i can't use my balance for that release cos it's obviously empty. i'll have to wait for next month's royalty to be posted around 12, 13th or 14th, on my balance.
The only way this will work will be soundrop setting a lower threshold to like $5 and also allow me to request withdrwal whenever i want. That way, i can decide to accumulate some amount of $$, use some of those accumulated $$ to release new songs through out the months in a year, and just withdraw a certain or the remaining balance i left every once or twice in a year.

I doubt the possibility of this. Don't forget that they pay out earnings from 15th of every month.

Ekene: I'm sorry, but I believe that I was not clear in my request and, therefore, you did not understand what I suggested.
I'm just proposing that Soundrop allow us to pay the fee out of balance, if we have the appropriate balance available, obviously. It makes no sense to pay using another source if there is cash on hand.
Please reconsider and vote for this feature to be adopted.

Marcio Riscado: I totally understand but for that to happen, soundrop will have to restructure their payout pattern.
I'll use distrokid and Tuncore as instance, Both distribution companies post revenues to users dashboard individually but in the case of soundrop, they collect all they can in a month, prepare a statement and automatically pay out on the 15th.
It doesn't make sense to wait till on 14th ( usually the day soundrop balance is displayed) just to pay for a release from your balance.
Soundop will need to restructre the whole revenue collection and posting thing for this to be possible. Plus in the case of Distrokid and Tunecore, you get to request withdraw but it's different for soundrop.
If they consider it, we all have to wait till 14th, volume of songs will then be released by soundrop users on the 15th, moderation will take like 3 weeks cos why not. lol

Ability to pay with the revenue I acquired

It will be nice to be able to use the revenue I received from my music streams towards my payment to post my songs here on Soundrop
