2.3 Can I make my release available for pre-order?
Yes, if you create a release in your account, you have the possibility to set the release date, if the release date is in the future it will be listed in the shops as “Pre-orderable”. On iTunes and Amazon your release will go online quickly (approx. 3-4 working days). The listing of your release on the streaming portals like Spotify, Deezer or TIDAL takes place on the release date. You can also set the start date for streaming to a later date.
