Selective distribution depends on acceptance and the offer made to a particular artist. Its value cannot be reduced to an assumed universal commission or prestige label.

Put it into practice

Compare your available written offer with a self-service option. Ask which services are committed, who controls the masters and how the agreement can end.

Put the decision into a release plan

Keep one catalogue record with artist names, versions, identifiers, rights and the intended release dates. Check the options available in your account before announcing destinations. Allow time to correct a rejected asset, and verify store links after delivery. For WBBT White-Label or Distributor API early access, ask sales for a tailored scope and quote rather than assuming fixed limits.

Your next step

Compare your available written offer with a self-service option. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.
