Spotify and RecordFlower: a code on the label that plays the record
RecordFlower prints record labels on A4 sheets in the Avery L7165 layout, eight to a sheet, with price, condition, your logo and a Scan to listen QR code. Connect your own Spotify app and the code opens the record on Spotify. A record Spotify cannot match gets a code to its page in your webshop instead, so every label scans.

What syncs
What Spotify syncs with the Hub
| What | Synced | How |
|---|---|---|
| Listening link | Yes | The Hub looks each release up on Spotify once, as an album for an LP and as a track otherwise, and keeps the link only when artist and title match. |
| Printed labels | Yes | The QR code on the label opens the Spotify link. Printing never waits for Spotify: a release without a link yet gets the code to your shop page. |
| New records | Yes | Every night the Hub looks up the releases that have no Spotify link yet. |
| Stock and price | No | Spotify is not a sales channel. Price and stock stay in the Hub and on your sales channels. |
| Your Spotify account | No | The Hub uses your app credentials only to search the Spotify catalogue. It reads nothing from your Spotify account. |
How it works
How Spotify works with RecordFlower
-
01
Create an app in the Spotify developer dashboard and copy its client ID and client secret.
-
02
Enter both under Settings, Integrations, Spotify and test the connection. The secret is stored encrypted and never shown again.
-
03
In the label settings, choose the Avery L7165 sheet and set the QR code to Spotify.
-
04
Print labels from the Hub, for one record or a whole selection. A release without a Spotify link gets a code to its page in your webshop.
Honest limits
What it does not do
- It does not sell on Spotify or sync stock. The connection only adds a listening link to your labels.
- It does not guess. When artist and title do not match a Spotify result, the label points to your shop page.
- It does not come with a Spotify app of ours. You connect your own app from the Spotify developer dashboard.
