The custom song seller glossary

A short, structured questionnaire the buyer fills after ordering — recipient, occasion, story, style, vocal — so the seller starts with a complete brief instead of chasing details in messages.

A view that shows every active order and which stage it sits at — waiting on the buyer, ready to generate, in review, or ready to deliver — so nothing is tracked from memory.

A shareable page where the buyer listens to the selected version and either approves it or requests a change, before final delivery. It sets expectations and creates a record of what was approved.

One cycle of changes after the buyer reviews a version. Sellers usually include one round in the price and charge for additional rounds so changes don't become unpaid work.

How long the seller takes to deliver after receiving the brief. A clear turnaround sets buyer expectations and helps protect on-time delivery ratings on marketplaces.

The written words of the song, drafted from the intake details before generation. It's the part with the clearest human authorship and the main thing that makes a song personal.

One generated audio result. Sellers usually create several takes from the same lyrics and prompt, then compare and select the best one for the order.

The image that represents the song — often showing the recipient's name and occasion. It sets the tone on the delivery page and improves marketplace listing photos.

A designed sheet of the song's lyrics, offered as a keepsake alongside the audio. A common upgrade that makes the gift feel more complete.

A single page where the buyer receives the finished song — cover, a player, and downloads for the MP3 and lyric card — under the seller's shop name and signoff.

The seller uses their own paid Suno account for generation, rather than a shared platform account. It keeps margins high and the commercial rights with the seller.

The right to sell what you generate. Suno grants this on paid plans; the free tier is non-commercial, so a seller must be on a paid plan to sell legitimately.

Being honest that a song is produced with AI tools and the seller's creative direction. Marketplaces increasingly expect it, and clear disclosure protects reviews.

Removing all third-party branding from buyer-facing pages so the experience looks entirely like the seller's own. On SongHQ this means dropping the “Powered by SongHQ” line on higher plans.

A measured allowance for generation-related actions in a tool, tracked per order. Quotas discourage wasteful re-generation and keep each order profitable.
