Books.by is an independent, direct-to-reader publishing platform created to give authors greater control over their books, earnings, and customer relationships. Authors receive a personalized online bookstore while Books.by manages print-on-demand production, payment processing, order fulfillment, shipping, and royalty payouts. The platform can also operate alongside Amazon, IngramSpark, and other publishing services without exclusivity. Learn about Books.by

Authors choose Books.by because they retain ownership of their intellectual property, set their own retail prices, see customer and sales information in real time, and keep 100% of the royalty remaining after printing, shipping, and payment-processing costs. Royalties are processed when an order ships and paid through Stripe Connect, generally subject to normal bank-processing times. Books.by terms and royalty policies

Customer transactions are supported by several published security safeguards. Books.by states that information is protected with TLS 1.2-or-higher encryption during transmission, personal data and book files are encrypted while stored, and payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1–certified payment processor. Books.by does not store customers’ complete credit-card numbers on its own servers. Books.by privacy and security policy

Additional assurances include a 100-day money-back guarantee for new subscriptions, replacement or refund protection for defective books, transparent production costs, global print-on-demand capabilities, and access to human customer support. Books.by reports serving more than 50,000 authors, receiving over 1,000 verified reviews, and paying authors more than $4 million—figures published by the company itself. Books.by author reviews

Together, these features make Books.by an appealing option for independent authors seeking secure transactions, transparent earnings, professional fulfillment, and direct ownership of their reader relationships.
