  • How Bookalyze works: the path your money takes

    Orders tell you what sold; settlements and payouts tell you what you were paid. Here's what comes in from each marketplace, what posts to your books and when, and why every payout passes through a clearing account on its way to your bank.

  • Connect Amazon: get your Selling Partner API keys

    Create a private Selling Partner API app for your own seller account, give it the roles Bookalyze needs, and paste its client ID, client secret and refresh token. About 15 minutes, plus Amazon's review of a new developer profile.

  • How payouts post to your books

    Choose an account for each kind of money (sales, refunds, fees, ads, tax, held back) and a clearing or balance account for the payout, pick the day posting starts, then post by hand or automatically. The same idea for Amazon, Walmart, Noon and eBay.

  • Match each payout to its bank deposit

    Matching pairs a marketplace payout with the deposit in your bank and moves that deposit to the clearing or balance account, so your sales are counted once. Works in any bank account and any currency.

  • Automatic review requests: ask every buyer, at the right time

    Switch it on once and Bookalyze asks every eligible Amazon buyer for a review on the day you choose after delivery, skipping refunds, claims and anyone you leave out. It's Amazon's own Request a Review, so it's within Amazon's rules.
