What is a PRO?

A PRO (Performing Rights Organization) is a publishing organization responsible for collecting performance royalties on behalf of songwriters and music publishers. BeatStars has partnered with IMRO to provide new Publishing members with a PRO and IPI number free of charge. You are able to register for IMRO when you apply to Publishing. If you already have a PRO, you are free to use yours as well. Below is a current list of some accepted PROs for different countries. Money related to your songs comes from applicable collection societies around the world. Once BeatStars receives your money, you will be able to withdraw it from the BeatStars Wallet.

IMPORTANT:  We do not manage these services, as a result, the list could be subject to change and there may be others.  Please search your country's additional PRO options if needed.
