I needed this for my site!!! I'm glad I came across this Wordpress theme, now I'm able to create my own beat shop within my own website without worrying about competing with other producers and being limited on usage that other beat shop sites give you. Beatstore actually gives you what you need, and for whatever reason you have trouble setting up or having errors they really take the time to help you out!!

Thank you very much for this beautiful plugin. It fulfills all the necessary requirements which a player with integrated function for buying in connection with WooCommerce must bring. A very impressive search function with a very simple installation. Especially the support is worth mentioning here! With all questions around the player and with further questions which arise to the integration one is helped completely. Thank you for the time for all information and your commitment.

Plugin had some UX issues out of the box but the devs have been hard at work fixing them and after less than a month have already put out one significant update with another around the corner. You'd be crazy to run a music store without this tool.
Rated 5 out of 5
I bought this product to have my own beatstore, and to have more freedom as a business owner. Now I don't have to pay to sell beats when I'm just starting up my Beat site! On top of that customer service is pretty responsive, and helpful. I would recommend this product.

BeatStore has to be the best plugin for selling audio from your website out there. Customer service is exceptional and the plugin has everything you need to sell your music from your site!
02 · The rent trap
Marketplaces didn't drop their cut.
They repackaged it.
0% commission sounds great until you read the invoice: monthly subscriptions, buyer-side fees, upload ceilings. On their platform you're not a store owner. You're a tenant.
BeatStars
- Paid plans run $10–$50 every month
- A 12% “service fee” is added to your buyer's total on marketplace sales
- Stop paying and your storefront goes dark
Airbit
- Free tier caps your catalog at 20 beats
- Paid tiers of ~$8–$16/mo just to raise the ceiling
- 0% commission, but the store still lives on their rails
Traktrain
- Invite-only: you apply for the privilege
- A curated catalog means competing for placement
- Extra fees kick in past upload thresholds
You built the catalog. They charge you to keep it.
Read the fine print, side by sideCompetitor terms as published, July 2026. They change. Ours fit on a napkin: your WordPress, your catalog, 0% commission.

05 · FAQ
Straight answers, no fine print
How is BeatStore different from BeatStars or Airbit?
They run marketplaces and hosted stores you rent: plan fees to keep the storefront up, upload caps, and in BeatStars' case a 12% fee added to your buyer's total. BeatStore is software you run on WordPress you control: your domain, your customer data, and every dollar after standard payment-gateway fees. Licenses can be lifetime, annual, or monthly via Freemius.
What does it cost to run a BeatStore store?
The Player Plugin is $99.99 lifetime, $29.99/year, or $7.99/month. Freemius checkout offers all three; support and updates cover the active term. Add WordPress hosting (a few dollars a month, your choice of provider) and the free Easy Digital Downloads plugin. BeatStore never takes a cut of your beat sales.
What happens if I don't renew my license?
Your store stays live and keeps selling. Annual and monthly plans renew for continued support and updates; if you cancel or let a term end, renewal only would have extended that window. It does not hold your storefront hostage. That's the difference between licensing software on your site and renting shelf space on someone else's.
What ecommerce plugin does BeatStore require?
Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce (free). Pick one backend for your catalog. They handle carts, receipts, payment gateways such as PayPal and Stripe, and file delivery. WooCommerce is the usual choice if you also sell physical merch.
Can I sell merchandise or physical products?
Yes. The player is for beats and kits with previews. Add merch as normal EDD downloads or Woo products, link your shop pages in the menu, and check Hide from player so the player stays audio-only. WooCommerce fits shipping and inventory best.
Can I sell sound kits and drum kits too?
Yes. Organize products with WordPress and EDD categories and present them in the same BeatStore player experience.
Is my catalog available as an API?
Yes. BeatStore exposes your catalog as public REST on your WordPress domain (beatstore/v1)—the same endpoints the player uses. There are no BeatStore API keys or webhooks; cart and play writes use a WordPress nonce on that origin, and checkout stays Easy Digital Downloads or WooCommerce. See the REST API docs.
Where can I get setup help?
Start with the docs for installation and setup, or contact support with your Freemius license email.
06 · Final word
STOP PAYING RENT ON your own catalog.
One plugin stack. A storefront on your WordPress that answers to you, not to a marketplace's algorithm, fee schedule, or upload ceiling.
