Bandcamp was founded in 2008 by Ethan Diamond (CEO) and programmers Shawn Grunberger (CFO), Joe Holt and Neal Tucker. In 2019, Bandcamp opened its first office and record store in Oakland, California.

In 2010, the site enabled embedding in other websites and shared links on social media sites.{{cite web |date=10 September 2010 |title=Full Tracklist Players, Facebook Love |url=http://blog.bandcamp.com/2010/09/09/full-tracklist-players-facebook-love/ |access-date=2014-06-19 |publisher=The Bandcamp Blog |archive-date=May 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140521235609/http://blog.bandcamp.com/2010/09/09/full-tracklist-players-facebook-love/ |url-status=live }}

{{As of|2020|8}}, half of Bandcamp's revenue was from sales for physical products.{{Cite news |last1=Krukowski |first1=Damon |date=19 August 2020 |title=A Tale Of Two Ecosystems: On Bandcamp, Spotify And The Wide-Open Future |language=en |newspaper=NPR |url=https://www.npr.org/2020/08/19/903547253/a-tale-of-two-ecosystems-on-bandcamp-spotify-and-the-wide-open-future |access-date=2020-08-19 |archive-date=August 19, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200819170629/https://www.npr.org/2020/08/19/903547253/a-tale-of-two-ecosystems-on-bandcamp-spotify-and-the-wide-open-future |url-status=live }}

In November 2020, Bandcamp launched Bandcamp Live, a ticketed live-streaming service for artists. The service is an integrated feature of the Bandcamp website. Fees on tickets were waived until March 31, 2021, and became 10% from then.{{Cite web |last=Yoo |first=Noah |date=November 17, 2020 |title=Bandcamp Launches New Livestreaming Service for Artists |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/bandcamp-launches-new-livestreaming-service-for-artists/ |website=Pitchfork |access-date=November 17, 2020 |archive-date=November 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201117164959/https://pitchfork.com/news/bandcamp-launches-new-livestreaming-service-for-artists/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite magazine |last=Tatiana |first=Cirisano |date=November 17, 2020 |title=Here's How Bandcamp's New Livestreaming Platform Stacks Up |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/9485366/bandcamp-live-livestreaming-platform-ticketed/ |magazine=Billboard |access-date=November 17, 2020 |archive-date=November 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201118033856/https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/9485366/bandcamp-live-livestreaming-platform-ticketed/ |url-status=live }}

Bandcamp provides vinyl pressing services for artists. After a 50-artist pilot in 2020, the company opened limited access to 10,000 artists in early 2021 with plans for further expansion. Their fans preorder the pressing rather than having the artist fund it upfront. Bandcamp lets artists set their own price. The company's two million vinyl sales in 2020 doubled that of 2019.{{Cite magazine |last1=Millman |first1=Ethan |date=2021-01-14 |title=Bandcamp Will Make Vinyl Records For You |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/bandcamp-vinyl-pressing-service-indie-music-1114800/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US |access-date=2021-05-20 |df=mdy-all |archive-date=June 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210618062632/https://www.rollingstone.com/pro/news/bandcamp-vinyl-pressing-service-indie-music-1114800/ |url-status=live }}

Bandcamp's employees voted to form a union via the Office and Professional Employees International Union in March 2023.{{cite news |last1=Hussey |first1=Allison |title=Bandcamp Employees Form Union |url=https://pitchfork.com/news/bandcamp-employees-form-union/ |access-date=October 23, 2023 |work=Pitchfork |date=March 17, 2023}}{{Cite news |last=Council |first=Stephen |date=October 17, 2023 |title=Every member of Bandcamp union bargaining team was laid off in huge cuts at Oakland firm |work=SFGate |url=https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/bandcamp-bargaining-union-layoffs-songtradr-18432047.php |access-date=October 23, 2023}} On September 28, 2023, Epic Games announced that it was laying off 870 people, roughly 16% of its workforce. As part of this, Bandcamp was sold to Songtradr, another music platform.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66953910 |title=Fortnite maker Epic Games cutting 16% of workforce |date=September 28, 2023 |website=BBC News |access-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-date=October 16, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231016162951/https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66953910 |url-status=live }} According to an Epic Games spokesperson, Songtradr incrementally offered employment to the Bandcamp staff.{{cite web |url=https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/epic-games-cuts-almost-half-of-bandcamp-pre-songtradr-sale |title=Epic Games cuts almost half of Bandcamp pre-Songtradr sale |first=Justin |last=Carter |date=October 16, 2023 |website=Game Developer |access-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231017101654/https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/epic-games-cuts-almost-half-of-bandcamp-pre-songtradr-sale |url-status=live }} However, several employees were locked out of their systems and faced uncertainty over their jobs. After the acquisition was completed on October 16, Songtradr stated that only 60 of Bandcamp's previously 118 workers had been offered a contract.{{cite web |url=https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/bandcamp-layoffs-oakland-songtradr-epic-18429463.php |title=Bandcamp, Oakland-based music industry darling, gutted by 50% layoff |first=Stephen |last=Council |date=October 16, 2023 |website=SFGate |access-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231017030638/https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/bandcamp-layoffs-oakland-songtradr-epic-18429463.php |url-status=live }} Songtradr fired most of the staff involved in forming the unionization, as well as the ones that were helping to negotiate fair terms. In an internal email, Songtradr's CEO, Paul Wiltshire, said that Bandcamp's financial state had "not been healthy" due to increased operating costs over steady revenues, despite the site's continuous profitability. In response to the layoffs, users and artists of the platform expressed anxiety about its future.{{Cite magazine |last=Harrington |first=Caitlin |title=Epic Games' Sale of Bandcamp Has Left the Artist-Friendly Music Platform in Limbo |language=en-US |magazine=Wired |url=https://www.wired.com/story/epic-games-sale-bandcamp-music-platform-limbo/ |access-date=2023-10-08 |issn=1059-1028 |archive-date=October 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231008231930/https://www.wired.com/story/epic-games-sale-bandcamp-music-platform-limbo/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Parrish |first1=Ash |title=About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off |url=https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/16/23919551/bandcamp-layoffs-epic-songtradr |website=The Verge |access-date=17 October 2023 |language=en |date=16 October 2023 |archive-date=October 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231017092702/https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/16/23919551/bandcamp-layoffs-epic-songtradr |url-status=live }} {{As of|2023|12}}, Songtradr had not formally recognized the Bandcamp union.{{Cite news |last=Cartledge |first=Luke |date=December 20, 2023 |title=Bandcamp's New Owner Has Gone After the Company's Unionized Workforce |work=Jacobin |url=https://jacobin.com/2023/12/bandcamp-music-streaming-sale-tech-workers-union-layoffs-organizing |access-date=March 27, 2024}}
