How it works

Step 1

Connect your Stripe

Create or link your own Stripe account in about ten minutes. We set up the product, checkout and payments for you. Already sell on Shopify or Kickstarter? Plug those in instead.

Step 2

Upload your audiobook

One M4B, or one MP3 per chapter. We build the chapters, a free sample and your book page.

Step 3

Readers get one link

Every buyer gets an email with their link. Tap it, and they're listening. That's the whole reader experience.

Questions

Who is the seller, you or me?

You are. Buyers pay your own Stripe account, so the money, the customer and the sale are yours. We provide the delivery software.

Do my readers need an app or an account?

No. They open the link from their email and press play. If they'd rather use an audiobook app, they can download their own copy.

My audiobook is AI-narrated. Is that OK?

Yes. Listenkeep labels digital narration honestly on your book page and in the player, and welcomes these books.

Can I use it with Shopify, Kickstarter or my own site?

Yes. Use our checkout, or send orders from your store, import a backer list, or call our API.

I'm in KDP Select. Can I sell my ebook here?

KDP Select doesn't allow selling the ebook elsewhere, so we'll keep EPUB sales switched off for those books. Audiobooks aren't affected. Check KDP's terms for your situation.

When does it open?

We're opening a small pilot with a handful of authors first. Join the waitlist and tick "I'd like to pilot it" if you have an audiobook ready.
