Is Chiify exclusive, or can I sell my books elsewhere too?

Chiify is fully non-exclusive. You keep 100% copyright and can sell the same book through other services or your own site. Here's how that works.

Chiify is non-exclusive. You keep 100% of your copyright and are free to sell the same book anywhere else at the same time.

What that means

You can use Chiify for some stores and another service (or KDP direct) for others — just never send the same book to the same store from two places. See using multiple distributors.
You can sell the book on your own website too.
You can leave any time — see our exit terms in your account.

Why this matters

Exclusivity (like Amazon's KDP Select) locks you to one retailer for higher per-read rates but zero reach elsewhere. Going wide with a non-exclusive distributor spreads your income across many stores and libraries. See KDP Select vs going wide.

Your work stays yours, on your terms.

Can I move my books to Chiify from KDP or another distributor?

Yes — you can move books to Chiify from Amazon KDP, Draft2Digital, or any aggregator. Here is how to switch cleanly without losing sales or reviews.

Do I need to prove I own the rights to my book?

Usually your declaration is enough, but Chiify may ask for proof for flagged titles. Keep your manuscript files, copyright page, and any contracts. Here's why.

Chiify vs uploading to each store yourself: which is better?

Going direct to each store means many accounts, formats, and payments. Chiify is one upload, one dashboard, one payout to 400+ stores. Here's the trade-off.

How do I choose which stores my book goes to?

Pick exactly which of Chiify's 400+ stores and 50,000+ libraries carry your book — select all, or choose individual retailers and territories per book.

What are territory rights and how do I set them?

Territory rights control which countries your book can be sold in. Set worldwide for maximum reach, or restrict to specific countries you hold rights for.
