StudioLib is a platform that connects music artists with recording studios across Nigeria. We provide a directory of studios, facilitate bookings, and streamline studio operations for studio managers.

2. User Roles

3. Bookings & Payments

a. Service Fees

StudioLib applies a 5% service charge on every session booked through the platform. This fee helps us maintain the platform and support operational costs. The service charge is deducted from the studio's earnings.

b. Payment Processing

All payments made by artists are processed through Paystack, a third-party payment provider. Studio managers must connect a valid Paystack account to receive payments. StudioLib is not liable for delays or issues caused by Paystack.

c. Payouts

Payouts to studios will be handled through StudioLib’s Paystack escrow system, which will ensure down payments and full payments to studios are settled before and after studio sessions respectively.
