How Chiffy works

From manuscript to global distribution, in seven simple steps.

EPUB, Word doc, PDF, or audiobook files. We validate everything on upload and auto-convert when needed.

Title, author, description, BISAC categories, keywords. Set your price in USD with optional per-territory overrides.

Select from 20+ retailers and libraries worldwide. We handle ONIX feeds and file delivery to every one of them.

Our team reviews your submission, then delivers via API and SFTP. Retailers process and your book goes live.

Unified dashboard showing units, revenue, country, store, and format breakdowns in real time.

Payouts on the 15th of each month via PayPal, Wise, or bank wire. One payment for all stores.
