If you’re a Ditto Label Services client, royalty splits work much the same as on standard Ditto accounts. The main difference is that splits go live the moment you save them, rather than waiting for your collaborators to accept.
We'll email your collaborators to let them know about the split, and hold their share of the royalties for them until they sign up for a free account. Once they're signed up, they'll receive all the royalties they're owed.
What do the royalty split statuses mean on a Label Services accounts?
Active: The split is live and your collaborator is earning their share.
Unclaimed: Your collaborator doesn’t have a Ditto Music account yet. They’re already earning, and we hold their earnings for the time being. They claim them by creating a free account with the matching email address. Click Resend invitation next to their name if they need a nudge. If you entered the wrong email, click Edit email and their earnings so far move to the new address.
Verification required: The split was added from a device or location we don’t recognise, so we’ve emailed you to check it was really you.
Label Services accounts don’t have Pending or Rejected statuses, because collaborators don’t need to accept a split.
What happens when I change a split?
Changes take effect as soon as you save. We'll notify your collaborators about any changes by email.
What happens if the same track is on other releases?
We copy your splits to the matching releases automatically.
What if I have an advance deal?
If an advance deal applies to your account, release or track, your own share must stay at 50% or more.
What works the same?
Everything else: adding splits, the rules for each field, copying splits between tracks, removing a collaborators all works the same as standard Ditto accounts.
