Use manual entry for sales that don't come from a report or a connected store, such as a book fair, a library order or copies you sold in person.
Add a sale
- Open Sales Tracker and go to the Import tab.
- Under Manual Entry, click Add Manual Sale.
- Choose the Book Title. Pick + New Book… to add a book that isn't in your library yet.
- Choose the Platform. To use a name that isn't listed, pick Other… and type it, for example Etsy or a craft fair. It's saved for next time under Your platforms.
- Set the Report Month. This is required.
- Enter Units Sold and the Royalty Amount. For Amazon KDP you can also enter KENP Reads, and for Kobo, Kobo Plus Minutes.
- Optionally choose a Payment Method and the Currency.
- Click Add Sale.
Each manual sale is one record for one book and one month. It appears on the History tab as its own entry.
Edit a manual sale
- Go to the History tab.
- Find the manual entry and click the edit icon (Edit sale).
- Change any field, including the platform, and click Save changes.
Only manual sales can be edited this way. Sales from a report or a store come from that source; to fix them, delete the import on the History tab and import a corrected file.
Manage your own platform names
Click Your platforms at the top of the page to add several names at once (separate them with commas), rename one or delete one. Built-in platforms like Amazon KDP and Kobo are always available and can't be removed.
