Setup Your Supply Chain

Connecting you to DSPs

Setting Up Your Supply Chain and Migration

Once your catalog is ingested, you can optionally deliver it to DSPs through Revelator. This step is only necessary if you choose to distribute your catalog via Revelator.

Note: If you do not plan to deliver your catalog through Revelator (e.g., you will keep your FUGA supply chain), you can skip the migration step and still use Revelator for royalties and reporting only.

2.1 Indicating Your Supply Chain (Distribution Deals Worksheet)

1. Let us know which deals you will use for each DSP in the Distribution Deals Worksheet.

2. If you have existing catalog delivered to a DSP, list the corresponding UPCs.

3. Your account will remain BLOCKED from distributing until the Distribution Deals Worksheet is completed and shared with our team.

2.2 Switching Distributors

If you decide to move distribution from a previous distributor to Revelator, coordinate with our team before issuing takedowns. Uncoordinated takedowns can result in loss of listings, reviews, shares, and play counts. Each DSP has different requirements, making it critical to sync with us first.

2.3 Switching Licensor to Merlin/Direct Deals

If you were delivering under a 3rd-party aggregator (FUGA/CI/AudioSalad/Believe/Orchard/etc.) and are switching to your own Merlin deals:

1. Get approved as a Merlin member.

2. Wait for confirmation from each Merlin DSP that you are “opted in,” which typically takes 7–10 days (sometimes up to a month).

3. Once you have DSP confirmations, coordinate with our team before sending updates or takedowns through your Revelator dashboard. We may need to re-send your full catalog to certain DSPs for a seamless migration.
