SheetHub uses PayPal to process payments. PayPal is available in multiple countries and currencies, and accepts multiple modes of payment. Let's briefly walk through a buying user's purchasing flow. From your sheet's page, users will see a Buy Now button:

Which will open a modal overlay:

Clicking checkout will bring them to Paypal to authorize the purchase:

Once the user has completed the authorization process, you will receive your earnings directly to your Paypal account. The user will, upon a successful purchase, be able to download the files you've uploaded for your sheet through SheetHub. Users cannot share their download links, as they are private URLs. PDF Downloads may also be individually stamped with the user's name and email to discourage unauthorized sharing.

No credit card information is stored on our server! We use PayPal, one of the most secure and reputable payment processors available. PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available.) Once your information reaches the PayPal site, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers. Visit Paypal Security Center for more details.

First, SheetHub will take 20% ($1) to pay for hosting fees, server fees, and to fund new features. Your 80%, $4.00 are paid directly to your PayPal account the moment a user completes a purchase. Note that you earn 85% as a Pro member! There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, no hosting fees to worry about.

PayPal is the payment platform used by SheetHub. It handles all credit card processing and takes the place of a credit card merchant. All merchants charge a fee to process a credit card transaction, Paypal included. PayPal will take $0.30 + 2.9% of the transaction amount.

SheetHub will send a friendly email whenever you make a sale. It will be sent to the email address you registered with. If someone attempts to buy your music but the transaction cannot be completed (e.g. due to invalid PayPal account information) then you will also be notified.

You can view detailed sales statistics - both recent and all-time sales - detailing who has bought your works, approximated earnings, useful charts and other statistics from the Sales page.

You are paid directly to your PayPal account the moment a user completes a purchase. SheetHub does not hold your money. You will never have to wait.

SheetHub does not hold any of your earnings, so we need your verified Paypal account email address for your fans to directly pay you.

You can view and update your payment information by going to your profile Settings from the user dropdown.

This person. I’m a software engineer. I started playing classical guitar at a young age and regularly play in my spare time. I've been looking for a decent community/marketplace for sheet music and have been disappointed so far, so I decided to try my hand at building one. Let me know what you think! Your feedback will help guide SheetHub's ongoing development.
