DufortMusic — Label, Store & Academy

Direct-to-fan e-commerce with automated file delivery and a 2FA private area

Checkout panel of the DufortMusic direct-to-fan store
01

Context

An independent label needed to sell digital goods directly to its audience: exclusive audio files, delivered securely, without depending on mass-market stores.

02

Objective

A complete, self-managed e-commerce pipeline: card payments, automated delivery of large files through expiring links, demo intake with approval workflow and course enrolments.

03

Results

Complete and tested on the development bench; publication in preparation.

Solution

A digital platform built around three engineering problems: presenting a catalogue, selling files safely, and managing a private workflow.

The store handles card payments and delivers the purchased files automatically through temporary links and email — WAV, FLAC or MP3 — with protected 45-second previews that let visitors listen without exposing the full asset.

Behind the storefront: a staff area protected by two-factor authentication, a submission portal where artists upload tracks into an approval queue, editorial pages for each artist, and enrolment handling for the six-module academy. Everything runs from one panel, with no developer needed for daily operations.
