Can I Set a Different Book Price on My Own Website?
Find out whether your book can have a different price on your own website compared with retail distribution, and why selling direct gives you more control over pricing.
Yes. The price you set on your own website can be different from the price you use for retail distribution.
The two pricing options work independently, giving you flexibility over how much you charge customers who buy directly from you.
Can I sell my book for less on my own website?
Yes. You may choose to offer your book at a lower or discounted price through your own store.
When a customer buys directly from you, there isn't a retailer taking a percentage of the sale. This can give you more flexibility to offer a competitive price while still protecting your profit.
Does Bookvault take a commission on direct sales?
No. Bookvault doesn't take a percentage or commission from your direct sales.
When Bookvault fulfils an order, the costs involved are the production and shipping costs for the books ordered.
You can check these costs using the Bookvault Quote Tool before deciding how much to charge your customers.
What are the other benefits of selling direct?
Selling through your own website gives you greater control over:
- Your book's selling price
- Discounts and promotions
- Your profit margin
- Your customer relationships
- Customer data for future marketing
Having a direct relationship with your customers can also help you promote future releases, offers and other products to readers who have already purchased from you.
