Showing what % goes to the various parties would be nice, although that can get even more complicated if you break out things like royalty payments for sampled music or individual band member portions. And without some kind of enforcement mechanism some people will just lie about it while it might be hard to get anyone to sign up if there is a penatly for incorrect information, unless it is an optional thing. Also I noticed the indiehd FAQ mentioning transfer fees can eat up most or all of a payment when sending small amounts of money, so the amount received also depends on how much they make in any particular period. I also once had a small label ignore or forget about Bandcamp for maybe a year and a half after I ordered a CD from them, I'm guessing some kind of email issue that caused them to not receive notifications, but any information that could change is unlikely to be kept up to date (as always :/). Direct payments or at least accounting sounds like a good feature, there do unfortunatly seem to always be people trying to rip off the people doing the actual work (I've heard of that being a significant issue in the game industry as well).
Good luck if you decide to work more on it!
