Your readers buy from you.
Two payment relationships stay separate — your Author Studio package is one thing, and the money readers pay you for books is another.
Author Studio plan
You pay Love My Ebooks for your Author Studio subscription or package. That fee is separate from any books you sell directly from your Author site.
Author book sales
Readers pay you for books or bundles sold from your Author site, using your own PayPal or supported payment setup where your package supports direct sales. LME does not take a platform commission on those author-site sales.
What you get
Turn your Author site into a direct sales channel while keeping books, files, orders and fulfilment connected.
How it works
A practical path from book to purchase — you can complete setup in the order that fits your launch.
- Choose which books can be sold
- Set prices and connect your payment account
- Readers buy on your Author site
- Deliver files and support orders
From book to buyer support
The sale and the file it delivers stay connected to the same book.
- Book
- Set price
- Connect your payment account
- Reader buys on Author site
- Digital delivery
- Order support
Setup can happen in a different order — connect payment, configure books, then go live when you are ready.
Sell individual books
Turn an existing Author Studio book page into a place where readers can buy directly from you — when you choose to enable it.
- Sale availability you control per book
- Public sale visibility on your Author site
- Pricing tied to that title
- Delivery using the final files you have configured
Set your own prices
You decide what readers pay for each book or bundle on your Author site, without LME taking a commission from the sale.
- Author-controlled pricing
- Prices stay with the book or bundle
- Clear presentation for readers at purchase
- Payment processor fees, taxes, refunds and chargebacks remain your responsibility
Connect your payment account
Connect and maintain the PayPal or supported payment account used for reader purchases on your Author site — separate from paying Love My Ebooks for Author Studio.
- Author payment setup for reader sales
- Required before live direct sales
- PayPal support where your plan includes it
- You receive author-site sale proceeds through your connected provider
- You remain responsible for payment provider terms, fees, taxes, refunds and disputes
Digital book delivery
The sale and the file it delivers stay connected to the same book.
- Deliver downloadable book files after purchase
- Use the relevant final files attached to the book
- Controlled download access for buyers
- Fulfilment status you can follow on the order
Sell bundles
Turn a series, starter collection or themed group of books into one reader-friendly purchase.
- Combine multiple books into a single product
- Bundle pricing you set
- Books remain tied to your catalogue
- Fulfilment readiness depends on included books and files
Manage orders
See what readers bought and whether delivery is ready — without editing payment-provider records.
- View customer orders
- See ordered items
- Check fulfilment and access state
- Support readers when something needs attention
Help readers after purchase
If a reader has trouble getting their book, you have tools to help without changing real payment-provider state.
- Reissue download access where supported
- Extend access when appropriate
- Revoke access when needed
- Keep support actions separate from payment truth
