Create a Confidential Digital Release

How to Hide the Release Date of Scheduled Tracks in Your Shopify Store

With Single's Confidential Release feature, you can make sure your fans don't find out the release date until you're ready to share it. When you enable this option, the release date stays hidden in all communications. Here's how to set it up.

Tip: Enabling this prevents the initial "Your Download Expected" email. Customers will only receive a delivery email upon album release

Steps

  1. Log in to your Single account.
  2. Navigate to Music > Digital Delivery from the left side bar. You'll have the option to either create a new digital release or work with an existing one. Afterward, you can easily navigate to the Scheduling section.
  3. Look for the Confidential Release switch and toggle it on.

Here’s an example of what it will look like in your shop:
