Licensors and release windows determine the revenue split on your Shift72 platform.
Step 1:
Go to the ‘Store’ tab and select ‘Licensors’.
Step 2:
Click ‘Add a Licensor’, and give them a recognisable name.
Step 3:
Click on ‘Release Windows’ to open the release windows tab.
Step 4:
A new window will open on the right-hand side of the page. Here click ‘Add a Release Window’ and give it a recognisable name. This will be the revenue split for the licensor.
Step 5:
Click ‘Revenue Split Rules’ to modify the revenue split between you and the distributor.
Step 6:
You will be presented with this screen:
Here you can enter the revenue split per region and based on rental or purchase. Either percentage or value entries are required to be entered, both are not needed.
Note: If both a value and a percentage are used, the distributor will always take the larger amount.
Step 7:
Now navigate to the ‘Media’ tab and click on ‘Films.’
Step 8:
Find the film you want to add a revenue split too. Click on the pricing setup tab and scroll down to the ‘Release Window’ section.
Step 9:
Select the Release Window from the drop-down menu, then click ‘Save.’
N.B. Percentage revenue splits will be deducted After Tax. So a 50% split on a $10 rental with 10% tax, will only net the distributor $4.50.
Note: This only applies to percentage splits. On a floor value, the distributor receives the full amount set in the value field.
