Blog

We’ve spent the last 10 months rebuilding the entire platform and are extremely excited to start inviting people to try it out. Along with developing some incredible features, we’ve also christened it with a new name, Limited Run! We wanted a name that embodied what we truly love, which are people who make and sell unique products. Whether it’s music, toys, or even t-shirts, we think the people selling them will feel right at home with us.

Read more about some of new features below or grab an invite now.

Here’s just a few of the features we have on the new platform:

Brand New Digital System

Our new digital system is the best in the business. Upload anything you can dream of and link it to a physical product, or just sell it on it’s own. If you upload lossless audio, we’ll automatically convert it to a bunch of great formats. With the old platform you had to buy downloads prior to selling them. Now, with Limited Run, we’ve developed a way for you to pay only for the digital you sell, and only after you sell it. We’ve also removed the upload cap so you can sell those gigantic FLAC files we all know you llloovvvveeee.

Themes and Custom HTML

With Limited Run, you’ll be able to pick from one of our great themes or create your own totally custom design. Whether you just want a store or an entire website, our theming and custom page system will let you accomplish whatever look you’re trying to achieve.

Free Options Galore

Something that we thought was really important with the new platform was figuring out a way for bands and artists to get setup with an entire site for free. So here’s what we’ve done. We’ve created a free store that allows up to 5 products. We’ve also developed some great free modules like a blog and show listings, that anyone can install. And finally, something we’re extremely proud of, if you want to give away your digital files for free, we won’t charge you to do it. No buying credits, or selling a minimum amount first. Just come in, create a store, and start giving away your music, books, etc. Is it going to cost us a fortune? Yes, but as long as none of those Lady Gaga types sign up, we should be in the clear.

SoundCloud Integration

Since SoundCloud is the best way to stream your music, we decided to make it easy for you to integrate them into your store. When you connect with SoundCloud, we’ll automatically upload your music, manage your sets, and embed music players. It’s the easiest way to use one of the best services on the Internet.

Revamped Payment System

We were using PayPal subscriptions on Limited Pressing. They suck. We know it. You know it. Why do they suck? Well for one reason, you need a credit card attached to your PayPal. And second, if you’re in a band, or you have a small t-shirt company with your friend, someone needs to pay for the store themselves, and then get reimbursed from the group. We decided to toss out PayPal subscriptions and use a system that allows fees to accrue in a balance, and then you pay off that balance after you sell items from your store. And unlike other companies who use this method of payment, your customer never sees us in the transaction. You get paid from your customer, and then using something called chained payments, you automatically send the fees to us, and your customer is none the wiser.

We have a million more incredible features that we’ll be showcasing on our blog, so check back often so we can dazzle you with our tremendously artful descriptions.

Love,
