Royalties & Payments

How royalties are processed, what the platform covers, and how you get paid.

Master recording royalties

JustJoJo Distro supports master recording royalty reporting. The team can confirm which earnings views, trend data and sharing controls are currently available for your account.

We currently do not process royalty processing for publishing.

Mechanical royalties

Yes, we process mechanical reporting with our platform in the following ways:

• Indicate the mechanical amounts due on each payee statement.
• Provide a master mechanical report showing all amounts due by each payee (but not the splits of those dues to the individual writers/publishers).

Statements

• Statements are normally prepared monthly; confirm the current statement date with the team.
• Your statement will include streams/downloads from many different prior months, as DSPs report with a 60–90 day lag.
• The statement's detail page lets you see exactly which DSPs were included, and you can filter by reporting month and DSP.

Payout policy

The published workflow aims to include eligible funds in the next available statement after they are received from DSPs or Merlin. Reporting delays, account checks and payment-method requirements can affect the actual payout date.

Payment methods

We currently pay via:

• PayPal
• Bank transfer (UK, EU and USA)
• DT&T (international transfer)

We are currently exploring additional payment gateways for the future.

Historical adjustments

There are times when DSPs discover missed transactions months or years later. The DSP will then issue an adjustment report (and payment) for these transactions. When JustJoJo Distro receives historical reports and funds, we include those in your statement — reflected in the Transaction Date column of the detailed transactions section.
