How can I set up a Spotify Pre-Save?

A Spotify pre-save lets fans save an upcoming release before its release date. When the release becomes available, Spotify adds it to participating fans' libraries. CD Baby artists can create a pre-save campaign in Show.co with a UPC or Spotify URI.

Quick summary

• Deliver the release to Spotify before building the campaign.
• In Show.co, create a Spotify Pre-Save campaign.
• Identify the release with its CD Baby UPC or a Spotify URI.
• A release that is already live does not need a pre-save campaign.

Before you start

You'll need:

• A release submitted for digital distribution and delivered to Spotify.
• Access to your Show.co account.
• The release's UPC or Spotify URI.

Create a pre-save with your UPC

1. Log in to Show.co.
2. Select New Campaign, then Spotify Pre-Save.
3. Choose the option to identify the release with a CD Baby UPC.
4. Enter the UPC shown on the release's Overview page in your CD Baby account.
5. Complete the remaining campaign setup in Show.co.

Create a pre-save with a Spotify URI

1. Log in to Spotify for Artists.
2. Open the area for upcoming releases.
3. Open the menu for the release and view its playlist-pitch page.
4. Copy the 22-character release identifier from the page URL.
5. Add spotify:album: before the identifier.
6. In Show.co, choose Spotify URI as the identifier type and enter the completed URI.
