What You Get · Direct Sales

Sell your books from your own author site.

Set up direct purchase options around the books already in Author Studio, connect your own payment account, and manage digital delivery from one place.

Your readers buy from you.

Two payment relationships stay separate — so your Author Studio plan and your book sales never get mixed up.

Author Studio plan

You pay Love My Ebooks for your Author Studio subscription or package.

Author book sales

Readers pay you for books or bundles sold from your Author site, using your own payment setup where your plan supports direct 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.

  1. Choose which books can be sold
  2. Set prices and connect your payment account
  3. Readers buy on your Author site
  4. Deliver files and support orders

From book to buyer support

The sale and the file it delivers stay connected to the same book.

  1. Book
  2. Set price
  3. Connect payment account
  4. Reader buys on Author site
  5. Digital delivery
  6. 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.

  • Author-controlled pricing
  • Prices stay with the book or bundle
  • Clear presentation for readers at purchase

Connect your payment account

Connect the payment account used for reader purchases on your Author site — separate from paying Love My Ebooks for Author Studio.

Direct sales and author payment integration depend on your Author Studio plan. Stripe is not advertised as a live option here.
  • Author payment setup for reader sales
  • Required before live direct sales
  • PayPal support where your plan includes it
  • No need to share gateway credentials in public marketing
Payment settings show whether PayPal / direct sales are available on the author plan — without exposing account identifiers.

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
Orders can be filtered and reviewed without exposing customer personal details in this marketing screenshot.

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
