Subscription-Based Royalty-Free Music Platform with Multivendor Features

The business model of Whoosh Music was complex because it worked like a multi-vendor platform with a credit-based system. We had to manage how both the admin and artists earned money from downloads. This required building a clear and fair earning flow for every user role on the site.

We needed to create a dashboard for artists to manage their music and earnings. A credit-computation system was needed to convert credits into actual payments for artists. We also had to restrict music downloads based on the user’s credit balance and allow preview downloads if credits were not available.

The platform needed a custom music player widget that could be placed anywhere on the website. Finally, building an advanced search using filters like collections, tags, categories, trends, and newest also required deep planning.

Our team researched multiple earning models for the platform and presented clear options to the client. After review, the client chose the credit-based system, and we implemented it with proper tracking. This helped the client manage payments for artists in a clean and transparent way.

What we did was:

• Built a custom sidebar filter that works on many criteria and used a fast search method to improve results.
• Developed subscription and credit modules that limit downloads when credits are used up and keep records of all downloads.
• Created a flexible music player with wave and play/pause options that can be placed anywhere through a shortcode.
• Designed a custom playlists page where users can filter by themes, genres, and moods, and also add tracks to playlists.
