How to Share & Promote Your elasticStage Release (Store Links, QR Codes & Website Embeds)

Once your release is published on elasticStage, you receive a unique release URL that allows you to share, promote, and sell your vinyl or CD anywhere online.

elasticStage handles production, checkout, and fulfilment. Your job is simply to drive traffic to your release page.


Where Your Release Is Sold

Every release published on elasticStage is hosted on your elasticStage store page.

This page includes:

  • Product images and 3D preview

  • Tracklist and release details

  • Format options (Vinyl / CD, if enabled)

  • Secure checkout

  • On-demand manufacturing and fulfilment

All purchases are processed through elasticStage. We handle payment processing, manufacturing, and global shipping.


Your Unique Release URL

When you attach your release to a Page and publish it, you receive a unique URL.

This is the link you use to promote your release anywhere online.

You can share your link:

  • On Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X (Twitter)

  • In your YouTube descriptions

  • On your website

  • In newsletters

  • In your streaming platform bios (SoundCloud, etc.)

When fans click the link, they are taken directly to your elasticStage release page where they can purchase your record.


Embedding Your Release on Your Website

If you have your own website (for example, built with Shopify, Squarespace, or WordPress), you can:

  • Add a “Buy Vinyl” or “Buy CD” button

  • Link directly to your elasticStage release URL

Checkout always takes place on elasticStage. We currently host the full purchasing and fulfilment process to ensure production quality and order accuracy.

This means you can keep your website focused on branding and promotion, while elasticStage manages:

  • Inventory (on-demand production)

  • Secure payment processing

  • Manufacturing

  • Shipping

  • Customer order tracking

We are in the process of building our Shopify app which will allow you to sell our on-demand Vinyl & CD via Shopify. You can read more about our Shopify integration here.


QR Codes for Physical Promotion

After publishing your release, you also receive a QR code linked directly to your release page.

You can use this QR code on:

  • Gig posters

  • Merch tables

  • Social media graphics

  • Press kits

  • Flyers and printed materials

Fans can scan the code and instantly access your release page.


Promoting Your Release Strategically

elasticStage removes the need for minimum order quantities or upfront pressing costs. This allows you to:

  • Test demand before committing to large production runs

  • Offer vinyl alongside streaming releases

  • Sell globally without holding stock

  • Launch limited or exclusive editions

Because your release is always available on-demand, you can promote it continuously — not just during launch week.


Important: How elasticStage Differs from Traditional E-commerce

elasticStage is not a dropshipping plugin or inventory-sync system.

All orders are placed through your elasticStage release page. We manufacture each unit on-demand and ship directly to the customer.

This ensures quality control and removes the risk of unsold stock.
