How to Sell Your Full Digital Discography on Bandcamp
Open your Bandcamp artist Profile and look for Full Digital Discography Pricing. You need at least three public albums or tracks available for purchase, including one with a fixed price or a paid minimum. Enable the offer there, then open a release while signed out and check what the purchase includes before sharing it.

Check which releases make the artist eligible
Start with the artist profile your fans use. Make a short list of public digital releases that someone can buy today. Check each release as a visitor before counting it. A finished master in your drafts or a subscriber bonus has a different job from a release anyone can buy.
Bandcamp requires at least one of the qualifying items to have a paid minimum or fixed price. If every item is set to name your price starting at zero, review the release prices before looking for the discography control again. The individual release pricing guide explains those settings.
On a label roster, open the specific artist's account and compare the payout setup across their releases. Confirm the destination with whoever handles payments before asking them to edit it. A live offer is a poor reason to change where another artist's money goes.
Run the catalog check before choosing a discount
| What fans can buy | What the artist checks | |
|---|---|---|
| Weather Maps LP | Public digital album at $9 | Open the digital album listing and confirm the paid price. |
| Late Ferry EP | Public digital EP at $5 | Confirm it is listed under the same artist and payable through the intended account. |
| Window Seat single | Public track available for purchase at $2 | Open the standalone single and check the recording version. |
| Tour demos | Subscriber-exclusive collection | Leave it out of the eligibility count and campaign copy. |
In this example the three public releases add up to $16 at their listed prices. A hypothetical 25% bundle discount would bring that subtotal to $12. Use that calculation as a planning check. Take the actual offer and currency from the public page before you write the announcement, since the inputs and purchase display can differ from your notes.
If the catalog changes next month, repeat the price and list check before reusing the same promotion. A fan who comes for one older EP should be able to see which other recordings the bundle adds.
Enable the offer and open it as a buyer
Go to Profile from the artist menu in the top toolbar. Find Full Digital Discography Pricing and enable the option. Review the pricing shown in that section and save. If the section is absent, revisit the purchase and price checks above before changing a release.

Frequently asked questions
Do subscriber releases count toward the minimum?+
Bandcamp excludes private and subscriber-exclusive items when it checks whether the artist can enable the offer. Look at public items available for purchase first.
Can I sell my label's whole roster in one purchase?+
Bandcamp says the option is available at artist level. For an artist connected to a label, its documentation says all items in that artist's discography must pay the same PayPal account.
Should I promise buyers every recording I've ever made?+
Describe the releases shown in the purchase list. Demos in a private folder, a collaborator's release on a different page, or a future album are poor things to promise without seeing them in the offer.
What can a fan do if a large download fails?+
Bandcamp recommends signing in to a fan account and downloading individual purchases from the Collection page when the receipt download returns a too-many-requests error.
