Hi, how far away do would these be?:

- ability to add physical without tying it to a release. Eg a t-shirt not tied to a release.
- choice of sizes for t-shirts

Thanks,
Jeremy

I am truly enamored with bandcamp. You actually ‘get it’ don’t you? Amazing.

Now my question:

Can you add more than one package for a single album?

You see we might have Vinyl/Cd’s/tapes/wax cylinders etc for one album.
How to differentiate?

If this can’t be done right now I’m sure it wont be a long wait. Seems to be how it goes round here..

Bandcamp is literally the greatest platform for bands ever created. Nothing else comes remotely close.

Bandcamp FTW.

So… I am thrilled thus far with the ability to add physical products… here are a couple urgent requests for your consideration:

1. Ability to add multiple physical products to each album… so that I can offer the MP3 download, a deluxe edition CD, a regular CD, etc etc.
2. Ability to create physical products which don’t have a music download product associated with them… i.e. merchandise… this is where Bandcamp leaves musicians wanting… we need to have a store that allows us to sell our catalog of stuff… music is only 1 piece.
3. Ability to “widgetize” the whole bandcamp store (not just the record)… or extract it as HTML so we can post in a wordpress blog and keep folks in the site the whole time they are shopping.

These are really essential features for handling the whole business of a band… I am going to have to keep searching for a solution… I have looked at other carts and none are really geared to us musicians and most are quite lame for any industry… Bandcamp is amazing (and free to boot!)… but missing a couple key ingredients… Don’t get me wrong.. I love what you have done… I just hope you can extend it a bit further… in a hurry!

Hi JP, that’s pretty much how it works already. You select “charge sales tax” in the UI, set your location in your profile, and tax is only charged where applicable (based on looking at the buyer’s location and your own).

On taxes:

Is there an option to only charge sales tax for the state you live in? That would be optimal, IMO.

Thanks!

This all sounds great! In fact, it’s all starting to sound too good to be true?

So when is the other shoe going to drop? ie: What’s this going to cost me? We already know it’s not going to be free forever…

Great job and very exiting!

I am a producer and have several series of CDs. Stores and boutiques are part of my buyers.
I wish we could add a structure for vendors with wholesale prices for high volume CDs orders.
Also the possibility to display special offers like buy vol 1 and 2 for this price..

When are you going to provide a fulfillment service?

thank you for the great work
Marco

Okay, I am now officially 100% sold on Bandcamp. I signed up a while ago but never started utilizing the system since I was trying to figure out this exact problem. I almost went through the headache of setting up a Zencart shopping system to address the very issue of selling downloads, selling CDs, and selling CDs that come with an immediate ‘while you wait’ download option with a variety of digital formats to choose from, so needless to say this is a HUGE relief.

The only thing I’m still hoping to see (eventually) is a more customizable interface for website integration and a better laid out dropdown menu screen… and maybe some other store options that allow sales of shirts, posters, etc.

That said, I’m not holding out to wait :) Great job guys!
