Royalties · Advances · PayPal to rand
Getting African creators paid fast.
Your royalties and PayPal dollars, paid to your bank account or mobile money. Paysta pays you first and takes the wait, and the complicated processing, off your hands.
The problem
Earning in dollars is the easy part. Getting paid isn't.
Days of waiting
Royalty and PayPal withdrawals take 4–7 days to reach a local account.
Disconnected systems
Mobile money and many local banks aren't linked to global payment platforms.
Complicated processing
Currency conversion, fees and paperwork eat into what you earned.
For artists
Royalty payouts and advances
Withdraw what you've earned on TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music and Meta, paid to your bank account or mobile money.
- Instant or standard (7–10 working days) payouts, each with a clear fee shown in dollars before you confirm.
- Advances against your future royalties when you need money now. You get the full amount; the fee is added to what you repay from future earnings.
- Track every request, download invoices, and get an email when your payout is on its way.
How an advance works
- Ask for an advance up to your approved limit.
- We pay you the full amount, to bank or mobile money.
- As your royalties come in, they pay the advance down automatically.
