DistriBeats now accepts Amex, Apple Pay, Visa and Mastercard worldwide
International payments are now easier across 130+ countries—just as our music distribution community passes 500 artists worldwide in its first two months.
What changed for international artists?
A global music distribution service should not become difficult at checkout. Artists and labels outside India can now use eligible American Express, Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards. Apple Pay adds a fast wallet option on supported devices and browsers when the card, bank and country are eligible.
International card payments are available across 130+ countries. Artists in India see prices in rupees and can also use familiar local methods; artists elsewhere see the published US-dollar price. There is no manual currency switcher and no last-minute live conversion—the regional price shown is the price for that market.
The exact methods displayed depend on your country, plan, device, browser, bank and card issuer. Apple Pay is not implied to be available in every card-payment country.
500+ artists in two months: the beginning of a worldwide journey
DistriBeats has onboarded more than 500 artists around the world in its first two months. That is a company-reported milestone, not a finish line. New artists and label customers continue to join every day, bringing different languages, genres, release schedules and business needs into the same distribution system.
The number matters because every new catalogue tests the complete experience: account setup, metadata, artwork, audio uploads, rights declarations, review, delivery, reporting and support. Growth only counts when the experience remains calm and clear for the next artist arriving from another city, country or time zone.
What worldwide music distribution means at DistriBeats
Digital music distribution is the process of preparing an eligible release and delivering it to streaming and social platforms. DistriBeats sends approved music to 150+ destinations worldwide, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Instagram and important regional services.
Distribution is only one part of the artist journey. The same account can bring together the practical work that surrounds a release, so creators spend less time moving between disconnected tools.
- Human-made and eligible AI-music distribution routes with clear plan rules.
- Free ISRC and UPC codes, release metadata checks and royalty reporting.
- DistriLinks smart links and artist EPK pages for promotion and discovery.
- Release-ready artwork tools, AI mastering previews and Dolby Atmos services.
- Multi-artist label workspaces with roster management, splits and consolidated reporting.
- Invitation-only Developer API access for eligible labels and distribution businesses.
The infrastructure behind a smooth global release
Artists should experience the infrastructure as speed, continuity and clarity—not as a list of technical names. DistriBeats connects secure checkout, resilient uploads, AI-assisted quality checks, human review and global release delivery into one workflow. Large master files can move in recoverable parts, while screening and delivery jobs run separately so one slow operation does not hold the whole workspace hostage.
The result is a smooth music distribution journey built for international traffic: fast access near the listener or artist, protected account actions, dependable media handling and status updates that follow the release from submission to delivery.

Built for independent artists—and for growing labels
An independent artist may need one release, a smart link and a clear royalty view. A growing label may need a roster, split records, consolidated reporting and structured catalogue delivery. DistriBeats is building both journeys on the same foundation while keeping ownership with the creators and rights holders.
Broader international payments remove one more border from that mission. An eligible artist can discover a plan, pay with a familiar method, submit music and follow its progress without stitching together a different service for every step.
A milestone, not a victory lap
Welcoming 500+ artists in two months is proof of demand—and a responsibility. Our next chapter is to keep improving the product as that community grows: smoother onboarding, stronger release checks, broader tools for labels and clear human help whenever a catalogue needs it.
