Lay Distribution Payout Guide: Getting Paid and ensuring Smooth and Secure Payouts

Getting Paid from Lay Distribution: Ensuring Smooth and Secure Payouts

At Lay Distribution, we understand that timely and secure payouts are critical to the success and satisfaction of artists and labels alike. Our goal is to provide a transparent, efficient, and straightforward payment process that allows you to focus on what matters most: your music. This guide will walk you through our payout process, explaining everything from payout eligibility to troubleshooting common issues.

The Payout Process Overview

Each month, Lay Distribution processes sales reports and prepares detailed account statements for all eligible customers. These statements provide you with a clear breakdown of your earnings, including revenue generated from streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer. Once your account statement is ready, payouts are scheduled for the 15th of each month.

This schedule ensures that all sales data from the previous month is accurately captured and processed. Lay Distribution takes pride in offering a smooth and reliable payout process that artists can count on month after month.

Eligibility and the Payout Threshold

To receive a payout, artists must first meet a specific earnings threshold. This threshold varies depending on your total streams and sales for the month, and it ensures that processing smaller, frequent payments doesn’t become inefficient. Reaching the payout threshold is easy, and artists are notified once they become eligible for payment.

The payout threshold is an important feature that allows both new and established artists to manage their income effectively. Lay Distribution tracks all streams and sales data in real-time, so you can monitor your earnings and estimate when you'll meet the threshold.

Payout Forms and PayPal: Ensuring Smooth Transactions

To make the process even simpler, Lay Distribution uses **PayPal** as the primary method for paying out artists. Once you've met the earnings threshold, Lay Distribution sends a **Payout Form** to the PayPal email address you have registered in your account. It’s essential that you ensure your PayPal information is always accurate and up-to-date to avoid any delays or issues with your payout.

If you prefer using another payout method, we encourage you to contact our **support team** to discuss additional payment options. Our goal is to offer flexibility while ensuring your earnings reach you securely and on time.

KYC Compliance and Security

As part of our commitment to ensuring secure payments, Lay Distribution may require you to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. This is a standard industry practice designed to verify the identity of our artists and ensure compliance with relevant financial regulations.

By submitting valid identification and other required documents, you help us maintain a high level of security, ensuring that your payouts are processed securely and efficiently. KYC documentation is only required once, unless your account details change, in which case a new verification may be requested.

Common Troubleshooting Tips and Support

While we strive to provide a seamless payout process, we recognize that issues can occasionally arise. If you experience any problems—such as not receiving your payment, discrepancies in your earnings, or delays with PayPal—our dedicated support team is available to assist you.

Some common issues that artists encounter include:


- Incorrect PayPal information: Make sure your PayPal email is correct to avoid delays.


- KYC delays: If your KYC documents haven’t been verified yet, ensure that the correct documents have been submitted for quicker processing.


- Threshold not met: If your payout hasn’t been processed, check to see if you’ve met the required earnings threshold for that month.

No matter what issue arises, our support team is just a message away and ready to help you troubleshoot and resolve any problems promptly.
