Chiify distributes your ebook to Google Play Books, one of the most global ebook stores.

How it works

  1. Select Google Play in your store list and submit.
  2. Chiify reviews (24–48 hours) and delivers to Google.
  3. Google lists the title and makes it available in the many countries it serves.

What to know about Google

  • Google is known for frequent discounting on its side; your set price is the reference, and Google may promote below it while still paying your royalty on the agreed terms.
  • Strong metadata and categories help a lot here because Google leans on search. See metadata best practices.

Royalties and payment

Google pays its rate to Chiify; on a paid plan you keep 100%. Earnings are consolidated with your other stores and paid monthly on the 15th.

Google Play reaches readers on every Android device, so it adds meaningful global coverage to your release.
