Quick answer

Complete the book, cover and Publisher Profile, choose a payout route, then enter Book Title, Book Description and Price in Publish Your Book. The product page is created immediately; content approval specifically gates paid Automateed checkout.

Before you start

What you need

  • Complete the source book and add or generate its cover.
  • Save a Publisher Profile and choose Use my own Stripe or Let Automateed pay me.
  • Prepare a Book Title, Book Description and Price of zero or more.

  5. 05

    Publish and review

    The product record is created immediately. Content review runs after submission, and paid checkout remains locked until approval.

Success check

Confirm that it worked

  • Publish Book creates the product record and returns the published book information.
  • The title has a public product page while background content review runs.
  • Paid Automateed checkout unlocks after the product review is approved.

Important notes

  • Cover, title, description and price are validated by the current publishing form.
  • Enter 0 in Price for a free book.
  • Categories are optional; cover, title, description and price are required.
  • Author or imprint information belongs in Publisher Profile rather than a separate author field in this form.

Troubleshooting

If it still does not work

The publishing page asks for a Publisher Profile

Create and save the profile before reopening the publishing form.

Cover validation fails

Upload or generate a cover on the source book and reopen publishing.

The product is public but paid checkout is unavailable

Check content-review status because paid Automateed checkout requires approval.
