We work with Stripe to pay every artist and to verify identity on our behalf. A one-time check during signup keeps payouts trustworthy, your data protected, and bad actors off the platform.
Why it matters
Stripe walks you through a short identity check during onboarding — most artists finish in under five minutes. It's the same hosted flow trusted by millions of businesses worldwide.
RTST never sees or stores your government ID, tax ID, or bank details. Stripe holds them under PCI Level 1 and SOC 2 standards, with 24/7 fraud monitoring.
Verifying every artist up front weeds out impersonation and fraud — which protects your reputation, your fans' purchases, and the catalog as a whole.
How it works
Sign up, pick a tier, and start your artist profile. No approval queue — you control your timeline.
Stripe collects your legal name, date of birth, bank details, and a government-issued ID where local law requires one. You stay on Stripe's hosted flow the whole time.
Once verified, every upload publishes immediately and payouts flow to your bank daily.
