Track/album code tutorial

Nope! Unused codes have no expiration date. 

Do track/album codes expire?

Of course! Not only will your codes continue to work, but your changes will be applied to any future downloads.

Can I make changes to my track or album after I’ve generated codes for it?

Indeed they do. This option is great for promotional releases, collector’s editions, remix bundles, exclusive content, etc.

Do codes work with private albums?

Because drafts are works-in-progress, they can’t be downloaded or streamed. After your album is published you’ll be able to generate codes...

Do codes work with album drafts?

Don’t worry! Each code allows only a few downloads and expires after a short time, preventing it from being shared or misused.

Can someone share a code with others? How do I prevent unwanted downloads?

Emailing track/album codes with Constant Contact

Fans will have the option to add their email to your mailing list on the code redemption page.

Can I make codes email-required?

Unfortunately, no. We can only report sales that happen through Bandcamp directly. The downloads will still be counted on your Stats page,...

If I sell codes at a show, are those sales reported to music charts?

In the codes section of your Tools page, click the blue number in the ‘redeemed’ column to see a list of every code that’s been redeemed t...

How can I find out which codes have been redeemed?

Codes can only be generated in multiples of one hundred, and the minimum amount you can create is 100. 
Codes never expire, so don’t fret ...

Can I generate fewer than 100 codes at a time?

All artist and label accounts come with 200 downloads per month of tracks or albums that you’re giving away (free items, or no-minimum nam...

You guys said I’d get 200 more codes for free every month! Well, where are they?
