Maybe a stupid question. Why isn’t there any gatekeeper from the EU region? They are quite industrialized and have a strong economy.

- scarface_74 3y agoShouldn’t Spotify at least be a gatekeeper? Can I publish a song on Spotify and ask listeners to donate to me directly or have a link to buy my merchandise?
- djxfade 3y agoYes, actually you can. As an artist on Spotify you can add a PayPal donation link directly in your artist profile, and you can integrate Shopify merch directly as well. https://spotify.link/kfll23o7LHb https://spotify.link/kfll23o7LHb Even linking specific products with specific releases. I only wish they supported more vendors than Shopify. But they state the feature is currently in beta.

- scarface_74 3y agoI am not seeing any of those links. Admittedly, they can at least have external links to their social media sites where they can establish a direct relationship with their listeners.
- landosaari 3y agoFrom details elsewhere [0], Dutch company booking.com could be added. There are probably more that did not make the first round: Telegram Spotify - Sweden OLX - Netherlands Ryanair - Ireland Are some possibilities for the next round.
