Hello, BFFs!
Let’s talk about choices. Choices can be overwhelming. Well, having too many choices can be overwhelming. But, in this ever-expanding world of indie publishing, there are some choices that are easy (like using BookFunnel for ebook and audiobook delivery!), and there are some that are harder.
Like, which platform should you use to sell direct? BookFunnel gives you a number of options to answer that question, but we’ve heard from a lot of you that you want one more in particular. You want an easy-peasy sales platform AND the best ebook and audiobook delivery.
We’ve heard you, dear authors. And, we want you to have both!
Selling with Lemon Squeezy
Maybe you’ve heard of Lemon Squeezy? Maybe you haven’t. So, with all the options available, why should you choose to sell with Lemon Squeezy? Well, the important one for you U.S. authors is that Lemon Squeezy is a merchant of record seller. Which means that they sell the goods on your behalf, collect all of the taxes, and then pay those taxes to whomever they’re owed. All you have to do is set the price and collect the money!
But, Lemon Squeezy has a handy little trick up their sleeve that makes them ideal for selling direct with BookFunnel delivering the goods. With Lemon Squeezy, you can customize the checkout experience of each product so that the delivery happens instantly (we detail how in our help article). Readers can just click a button and be instantly whisked away to their purchase on BookFunnel.
It’s all seamless. Dare we say, easy peasy? No, no, that’s too corny. Corny isn’t really our style.
AND, as a bonus, Lemon Squeezy has generously offered to give BookFunnel authors a discount! Rather than their usual 5% + 50¢ transaction fee, BookFunnel authors get a nice little discount at 5% + 30¢. Every penny counts!
You Sell, BookFunnel Delivers
Lemon Squeezy is available today on your BookFunnel dashboard as a sales integration. Once you set up a Lemon Squeezy account and link it to BookFunnel, you can start building your store with the best ebook and audiobook delivery in the indie world. Easy peasy.

And, like we said, Lemon Squeezy takes care of all of the taxes. So, if you’ve been holding off on setting up direct sales because you fear the taxman, fear no more! Lemon Squeezy takes care of the taxes, and BookFunnel takes care of the delivery. Which leaves you more time for writing the books!
You are writing the books, right? You should be.
Until next time!
