Mixam PrintLink lets authors share a simple URL that readers click to order a printed book directly — no e-commerce setup required. Authors set their markup over Mixam's production cost, and Mixam handles printing, payment, and fulfillment. It's not a retail distribution platform, but it's an excellent complement for authors with an existing audience who want to sell signed or direct-from-author copies without building a full online store.

  • Best for: Authors with an existing audience who want to sell direct without setting up an e-commerce store
  • How it works: Share a PrintLink URL on your website, social media, or email — readers click and order directly from Mixam
  • Pricing: Free to set up; no revenue share or service fees. Three pricing strategies: production cost (no markup), fixed markup (set $ revenue per copy), or fixed retail (lock the customer-facing price and absorb production-cost variance)
  • Payouts: Gross commission paid via Stripe Connect within 7 days of the following month
  • Multi-title cart: Readers can order multiple titles in one transaction; Shopify app also available for embedding PrintLink products into a Shopify store
  • Shipping regions: Direct PrintLink fulfillment in US, UK, Australia, and Germany; international shipping available by request from the UK facility
  • Limitation: No retail distribution — books are not listed on Amazon or other retailers; direct-to-reader sales only
