You wouldn’t run a $10K feature deal through Cash App.
Except you did. Last month.
VersePay gives music managers escrow-protected payment links for feature deals. Funds are held until delivery. You release them when the verse lands.
Free to use. No subscription. No upfront cost.
Verse for Track 7
Artist: @wavegod
$5,000
Held in escrow
Everyone in this industry has a story. Someone paid for a verse and never heard back.
The money moved. The verse didn’t.
Cash App, Zelle, wire transfers — none of them are reversible. Once the money’s sent, it’s sent. If the verse never comes, you’re calling a number that’s already disconnected.
Half upfront, half on delivery doesn’t work without a lockbox.
It’s the standard deal structure — but there’s nothing enforcing the second half. Once that first payment lands, the incentive to deliver disappears. You know this.
A DM thread is not a contract.
You’ve screenshotted WhatsApp conversations thinking it’s a paper trail. It isn’t. When $15K is on the line and the other side goes silent, an Instagram DM holds up nowhere.
Four steps. Every deal locked in.
Create the deal
Title, price, timeline, terms. Invite the artist. Takes two minutes. No subscription, no credit card.
Send the link
Drop the payment link in a DM, a Story, a text — wherever you close deals.
Funds held until delivery
The buyer pays the deal price plus a 7.5% service fee. The money sits in escrow — protected by a 14-day security hold. Nobody touches it until the work is done.
You review. You release.
The artist delivers the verse. You listen, you approve, one click — the full deal price is released to the artist. If they don’t deliver, the money never moves.
$300M+
Estimated annual feature deal volume running through Cash App, Zelle, and wire transfers. Zero payment protection.
7.5%
Service fee — paid by the buyer, not you. Your artist receives 100% of the deal price. You pay nothing to create an account or run deals.
“I lost $8K on a feature last year. Sent it through Cash App. When the verse never came, there was nothing I could do. Nothing. If this existed back then, that money would still be in my pocket.”
— Manager, Atlanta
0%
What the platform takes from the artist. Zero. The full deal price goes to the artist’s bank account. No percentage cut, no hidden fees.
0
The number of platforms built specifically for feature deal escrow. Not Fiverr. Not PayPal. Not “general freelance escrow.” Nobody has built this — until now.
This is for managers who move real money.
You’re running 3–10 features a month.
$500 to $50,000 a deal. You’ve been on the wrong end of a deal that went silent — or you’ve watched someone in your circle deal with it. You need protection that doesn’t slow you down. You need a payment link, not a payment department.
You’re building something.
1–3 artists on your roster, early-stage deals. You want to come correct from day one — send a professional payment link instead of dropping a Cash App tag in someone’s DMs.
One price. No subscriptions. You only pay when deals fund.

How the fee works
| You set the deal at | Buyer pays | Service fee (7.5%) | Artist receives |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $1,075 | $75 | $1,000 |
| $5,000 | $5,375 | $375 | $5,000 |
| $10,000 | $10,750 | $750 | $10,000 |
The service fee is always paid by the buyer on top of the deal price. Your artist gets 100%. You pay nothing.
Your money is protected at every step.
Escrow hold
Funds sit in a secure account for at least 14 days after payment. No one touches the money until the hold clears and you approve release.
Bank-grade authentication
Every card payment is verified with 3D Secure. Fraud liability shifts to the card issuer, not you.
7-day payout buffer
After you release payment, the artist’s payout is held for 7 additional days in Stripe before reaching their bank. If a chargeback comes in, it’s caught.
Pay by bank
Buyers can pay directly from their bank account. Bank payments are irreversible — zero chargeback risk.
Full audit trail
Every action is timestamped: deal created, payment received, delivery submitted, payment released. If a dispute happens, the evidence is already there.
Feature deals are a business. It’s time they had the infrastructure to match.
