Settings

Configure your Royalties HQ account: publisher profile, royalty statement emails, minimum payouts, imprints, and more.

Royalties HQ settings let you tailor the platform to your publishing operation, from branding and email preferences to payout thresholds and metadata sources.

Publisher profile

Your publisher profile is the foundation of your account. It determines the details that appear on royalty statements, reports, and author-facing communications.

You can configure:

  • Publisher name, currency, timezone, and address
  • Your logo, used on statements and reports

Royalty statement emails

Control how statement emails reach your authors. Set a reply-to address, add a BCC for your records, and include custom text in the email body.

Minimum payout thresholds

Set a minimum earnings threshold that rights holders must reach before a payment is generated. This helps you avoid processing small, uneconomical payouts.

Imprints

If you publish under multiple brands, imprints let you maintain separate identities, each with its own logo, website, and reply-to email address. Imprint branding flows through to statements and reports automatically.

Additional settings

  • Google Books metadata: toggle automatic fetching of book metadata from Google Books when adding new titles
  • Author portal: enable or disable self-service access for your rights holders
