THE SPLIT
90%

goes straight to the artist. Every sale.

Artists set their own prices. Highnote keeps 10% plus card processing fees to run the store. That's all, and your receipt shows the split every time.

Receipt · "Paper Lanterns"
$1.00
To the artist
$0.90
Highnote
$0.10
The 90/10 split is calculated before credit card processing fees, which are charged by the card networks, not Highnote.
