Signed copies and things fans keep.

The signed-copy author

No shop front? We put up a stall.

The author without a website

Plenty of authors live on social media and a newsletter. A BookFunnel landing page can carry the Buy button too, so a link in your bio can be the whole store.

  • BookFunnel landing pages
  • Link in bio
  • Social posts

Nothing to build. Share the link.

Added: BookFunnel landing pages

The tax desk is ours. We’re the merchant of record.

The writing-first author

BookFunnel is the merchant of record for every sale. We work out the sales tax at checkout, collect it and file it, so the rates, the rules and the returns are ours, not yours.

  • Merchant of record

  • We file it

You see what you earned. The tax paperwork isn’t yours.

Added: Sales tax handled

The author with readers abroad

  • Priced in US dollars
  • Cards from abroad welcome
  • More countries to follow

One price, in US dollars, wherever the reader is.

Added: US-dollar checkout

  • Refund queue
  • Automatic approval limit
  • The reader’s own words

Every refund comes with the reader’s reason and a record of who decided.
