Musicians now have an easier way to market and sell their merch and music online with the new integration between Bandsintown and the e-commerce platform Shopify. Bandsintown, a platform for live music fans with 77 million users, has added the Bandsintown Shopify App to its suite of tools for artists.

‍
The app allows artists to display a collection of merch for sale in their Shopify store on their Bandsintown Artist Page. Bandsintown does not take a cut of merch sales. This integration provides an opportunity for artists to make merch available to their fans without the hassle of waiting in line at the merch table and the fees that many venues charge artists.

‍
In addition, artists can use Bandsintown’s free drag-and-drop email service to seamlessly integrate merch drops and other marketing to their Bandsintown followers as well as their own email list.

‍
Setting up a merch store, selling, and taking credit cards is made easy with Shopify, which offers a $1 per month three-month trial to get started. It’s a three-step process to add the Bandsintown app from the Shopify app store, link any artist account and make their merch collections available for sale on Bandsintown. There’s also an option to add a multi-artist store that allows labels, festivals, or any grouping of artists to sell merch from one unified storefront.

‍
The integration between Bandsintown and Shopify is a great way for musicians to reach their fans and make money from their music. With 4.25 million small businesses already using Shopify, this integration provides an opportunity for musicians to make merch available to their fans and monetize their music.
