STS distribution is non-exclusive, and once you sign up, your music will instantly be available in several online stores. You can also create buy button links on your web site to let STS handle your credit card processing for you. You can use this same technology to sell your CDs from third party sites such as MySpace.com or from your emails. If you have a barcode for your product, all sales are automatically reported to Nielsen SoundScan. Finally, you can use this same buy button system to sell merchandise like t-shirts and hats! Submission to iTunes via STS is available as well. If your music does well via online sales, STS distribution increases to conventional store placement through FYE, Coconuts, Strawberries, Wherehouse Music, and others.
