Commerce Guide
Merchant of Record
How SoundSync-managed checkout acts as the Merchant of Record commerce path for launch.
SoundSync
Implementation model
The managed-commerce path starts at product setup and continues through customer access and developer reporting.
-
Create product
Define price, currency, files, license behavior, delivery, brand, and storefront visibility.
-
Enable managed checkout
Publish the product through SoundSync storefront, marketplace, or approved checkout surfaces.
-
Process checkout
Customer payment is collected through the SoundSync-managed path.
-
Create ownership
Orders, order items, entitlements, customer library access, and license/serial visibility are created after payment confirmation.
-
Handle post-sale events
Refunds, disputes, tax allocation, access changes, statements, and settlement reporting follow the transaction lifecycle.
External channels
External reseller reports, manual grants, imports, and developer-managed checkout can create access records without becoming SoundSync-managed MoR transactions.
