Overview
In this article, you will learn when you can begin to receive royalty payments from your publishing.
Royalty payments will be automatically distributed from Sony into your BeatStars Wallet semi-annually (every six months in March and September). Once the funds are in your BeatStars Wallet, you can request a withdrawal from BeatStars Studio in the Finances section. From that point, it may take up to an additional 14 days for the funds to show up in your personal payout method, such as PayPal or bank transfer.
If you don’t want to wait until your royalty balance is automatically distributed from Sony into your BeatStars Wallet semi-annually, you can take advantage of Sony SCORE’s Cash Out capability. Cash Out allows you to request some or all your current royalty balance to be paid immediately, instead of having to wait until the next semi-annual distribution. Cash Out is subject to certain limitations: You need to have a royalty balance of at least $100, and it is not available during the months of February, March, August, and September.
