Selling ebooks

To sell an ebook, open the book in Books and set a Price and a Currency (USD or GBP — pick whichever matches how you price your other books, since earnings are totalled per currency, never combined), then upload the ebook file itself. Once a book has a price and a file, its buy button goes live on your public page. A buyer's payment is taken through BulletPoint's shared Stripe account on your behalf (see "Managing billing & subscription" for how the money side works) — you're the seller of record, BulletPoint just processes it. Delivery is automatic: the moment payment succeeds, the buyer is emailed a signed download link that stays valid for 30 days. If you've turned on watermarking in your Profile & Design settings, each download is stamped with the buyer's details, same as review copies. There's no separate "publish to sell" step — Published status plus a price plus a file is all it takes.

This is what your own Indie Author Toolchest dashboard looks like. Free for 14 days, no card needed.
