Sell direct, keep the margin, own the reader
Publishers, authors, and media brands sell direct to keep more margin and build a list. That means preorders, digital downloads, signed editions, and bundles that work in one checkout. We set it up and connect fulfillment.

Books & Media questions
Can we sell ebooks and print books together?
Yes. One checkout can deliver downloads instantly and route print orders to fulfillment.
How should preorders charge?
Usually at release, with the date clearly shown. We set it up either way.
Is selling direct worth it?
You keep more margin and get the reader’s email. For most publishers, both matter.
