Bandcamp

Direct Connection:

You can now set up a direct connection to Bandcamp, and your sales will be automatically imported into IC!

How to set it up:

In IC, navigate to Account -> Account Settings
Scroll down to the Direct Connections menu, click on the Bandcamp link in the box pictured below, and follow the instructions on the next page.

Once a member of our Support team has received your direct connection request and completed setup from our end, the Bandcamp Direct Connection will show ✓ Enabled and your Bandcamp data will begin to automatically import into your account at your set schedule!

You can connect artist or label accounts. If you need any help setting it up, just reach out to Support and they'll help you out.

Otherwise, here's how to get the data:

Log into Bandcamp
Select "Tools" from the dropdown in the upper right corner
In the Reports section select "raw data report"
Make sure to include: payment details, items details, buyer details
Select the desired date range and click "export raw data report"

When does the data become available? Bandcamp pays out royalties between 24-48 hours from the time a sale occurs unless monthly payouts are manually selected in your Label Profile - and as such, the raw data report is updated as sales are processed by Bandcamp.

Importing into IC

In IC, navigate to Royalties -> Data Imports
Select Bandcamp or Bandcamp (Edited) from importer drop down menu.
For unedited Bandcamp files, use the Bandcamp importer. If for any reason your data needs to be edited or changed prior to importing, use the Bandcamp (edited) option.

Bandcamp "label" level accounts let you select a date range when exporting -- However, "artist" level accounts don't have that option - for "artist" level accounts you will need to manually remove rows that fall outside your desired date range. Once that is done, save the edited file as .CSV and use the "Bandcamp (Edited)" importer in IC.

If your account is an unpaid label account, please contact Bandcamp support and ask for a "raw data report" for your desired date range including payment details, items details, and buyer details. Once it has been generated for you, use the Bandcamp importer in IC to import your data.

How we process the data

Our importer maps the net amount column of Bandcamp data in order to calculate the total of each transaction. In doing so, IC automatically deducts the transaction and Bandcamp fees from each transaction; we *also* deduct a hidden 1% fee that PayPal charges you when Bandcamp transfers you the funds.
Additional fees - like VAT / tax or shipping totals - are not mapped or brought into IC, as these totals are typically reconciled outside of royalty accounting.
