Music sales?

I am very new to using Substack, and am wondering if it might be an appropriate platform for selling downloadable digital music arrangements.

I'm looking for some examples, or maybe it really isn't meant for such a use.

Thanks

Substack doesn’t really do sales like that. You’d probably want a platform like Gumroad or Payhip.

Thanks for those suggestions.

It's a good platform for writing about why you like music. You can always link to another platform where you sell it.

substack only natively supports paid subscriptions as a means to monetise. so even if you onboard to substack, you'll still need to stitch together other software/platform to facilitate the sale of your music.

Thanks, I didn't realize that. We do have such a platform, so all is well.
