Sales channels

Royalties HQ supports sales data from major book distributors including Lightning Source, IngramSpark, Kobo, Amazon KDP, and more.

Royalties HQ natively imports sales files from twelve-plus distributors, so you can upload reports exactly as you download them, with no reformatting required.

Supported distributors

Sales reports can be imported directly from:

  • Lightning Source
  • IngramSpark
  • Amazon KDP
  • Kobo
  • ACX
  • Google Play
  • Apple Books
  • Draft2Digital
  • INaudio
  • Pathway
  • Bateman

For each distributor, simply download the sales report from their portal and upload it into Royalties HQ. The system recognises the file format automatically and maps the data to the correct fields.

Custom CSV import

If you sell through e-commerce, wholesale, or any distributor not listed above, use the custom CSV import. Map your own column headings to Royalties HQ fields and import sales data from any source.

Duplicate detection

Royalties HQ automatically flags duplicate sales records during import, preventing the same transactions from being counted twice, even if you accidentally upload the same file more than once.

Once imported, see Sales for processing wholesale orders, handling returns, and viewing analytics.

Step-by-step guides are available inside Royalties HQ. Look for the ? icon top-right.
