As a content creator on Groover, there are 2 ways you can feature a track you've accepted: a collective feature, or a solo feature. This article explains what each one is, how you choose between them, and what you earn.
1. The 2 formats
Collective feature
Your standard format, and the one artists get by default. You feature the accepted track in a post or reel alongside several other artists — a "top 5 discoveries of the week" video, for example.
It's included in what the artist already paid for when they submitted. Nothing extra to buy, nothing extra to arrange.
Solo feature
An upgrade you can offer to an artist whose track you've accepted: a piece of content spotlighting only their music, at a higher price. They choose whether to buy it.
It's one or the other, not both
If the artist buys the solo feature, it replaces the collective feature for that track — one accepted track, one piece of content, one link. If they don't, you deliver the collective feature as normal.
Everything else stays exactly as it is today: your regular price, your full editorial control, the written feedback you give when you decline a track, and the way opportunities work. Read more about the opportunities you can offer artists.
2. Who can offer solo features?
Every content creator delivers collective features. Only specific curators are invited by the Groover team to provide solo features, and are not switched on by default.
If it isn't enabled on your account and you'd like it to be, get in touch with the Curators Team, as we walk every creator through the program before unlocking it.
Once enabled, an "Offers Solo Features" label appears on your profile so artists know it's something you may offer. It signals a possibility, not a guarantee — you decide track by track.
3. How to offer a solo feature
When you review a track and select the opportunity "Create a post or reel on social media", a Solo feature option appears underneath it. If that's what you'd like to provide, tick it and submit your feedback as usual — that sends the offer to the artist.
You can only offer a solo feature on a track you've accepted. Editorial fit always comes first: never accept a track because there might be an upgrade behind it.
If you'd rather just deliver the collective feature, do nothing differently: leave the option unticked and carry on as usual.
4. What the artist sees
The artist gets a Solo Feature Offer card in their dashboard explaining that you'd like to make a video spotlighting only their music, along with the price and a countdown.
They have 14 days to accept and pay. They can also decline, or simply do nothing — in which case the offer expires on its own.
5. While you wait for their answer
Don't start producing anything yet. Your submission shows a "Solo feature offered" tag and a message telling you no action is needed, with the number of days the artist has left. The link field stays disabled until they decide.
Your delivery deadline doesn't start until the artist has responded, so you never lose any of your delivery time while an offer is pending. No deadline is shown during that window.
6. Once the artist has decided
They accept and pay → your task becomes "Offer artist a solo feature". Produce the solo video, paste the link, and mark it as completed. This is the same flow as any other share.
They decline, or don't respond within 14 days → you deliver the collective feature as normal, at the original price.
Either way, the artist always receives what they paid for. Declining a solo feature means they'll still have paid the collective feature price.
7. Pricing and what you earn
On a collective feature, your price and your cut are unchanged, exactly what you earn today.
On a solo feature, your price is set by Groover in advance, based on your reach and impact, and it's shown to you when you make the offer. Creators don't set or change it themselves — if you think your price doesn't reflect your audience or the work involved, talk to the Curators Team rather than adjusting anything.
Payment reaches you through the usual payout process once the artist has paid and you've delivered the video.
8. If something goes wrong
If you can't deliver after the artist has paid, tell us as early as you can. If a paid solo feature isn't delivered, the artist is refunded in full — including if you delivered a collective feature instead of the solo video they paid for. Please don't let it sit: telling us early is always better than going quiet.
If the artist's payment fails, nothing is needed from you. The offer simply stays open until it expires.
If the track turns out to be unusable, use "Report a track" in the "..." menu under the player, as you would normally. The artist is refunded and no feedback is required.
