Documentation
Connect your data, read your real net profit, and understand every number TrueRoyalties shows you.
Getting started
What is TrueRoyalties?
One dashboard for your whole KDP business — royalties, ad spend, Kindle Unlimited, series, ranks, reviews and links — and the real profit underneath all of it.
Quick start
Create your account, connect KDP and Amazon Ads, and get your catalogue, your sales and your first real net-profit number in about five minutes.
How it works
Where each number comes from — the extension for KDP royalties, ranks and reviews, the Amazon Ads API for spend, and the calculations on top.
Connect your data
Chrome extension
The TrueRoyalties Connector reads your KDP reports from your own browser. What it installs, what it can see, and what it cannot.
KDP royalties
What TrueRoyalties imports from KDP, how the first full-history import works, and why one KDP account maps to one TrueRoyalties account.
Amazon Ads
Connect your Amazon Ads account to turn royalties into profit — what is imported, how spend is attributed to books, and what the first backfill looks like.
Facebook Ads
Connect your Meta ad account so your Facebook and Instagram spend is subtracted from your royalties, book by book.
Sync and data freshness
When TrueRoyalties refreshes your data, how fresh Amazon's own reports are, and how to force a sync.
Understand your numbers
Net profit
The one number TrueRoyalties exists for — what goes into it, what stays out, and why royalties are shown before tax but profit after.
Organic vs ad-generated
How TrueRoyalties splits your sales between the ones your ads brought in and the ones that came for free.
True ACOS
Ad spend divided by the royalties your ads actually earned. Break-even is 100 %, and that is the point.
Taxes and currencies
Set VAT on ad spend and KDP withholding once, pick your reporting currency, and every figure in the app becomes the one you actually bank.
Kindle Unlimited page rates
What Kindle Unlimited pays, what a "page read" really means, where the rate comes from, and how to read our free rate page.
Pages in the app
Dashboard
Your headline numbers, the profit chart, and the books making or losing you the most money.
Build your own dashboard
Pin any chart from Comparison — the world map included — or the Marketplaces table, to the bottom of your dashboard, and arrange them the way you work.
Orders
Units sold, split between what your ads brought in and what sold on its own — by format, marketplace and title, and how the two sources are lined up.
KENP
Kindle Unlimited pages read — how many, which books, from which marketplaces, how many your ads paid for, and the rate a page actually earned you.
Books
Every title, with its royalties, ad spend, average CPC, net profit and True ACOS — the page that tells you which books to keep advertising.
Series and read-through
Group your books into a series to see read-through, royalties per reader, and the most you can pay to acquire a reader who enters the series.
Marketplaces
Profit country by country — where your catalog earns, where your ads leak, all converted into one currency.
Comparison
Slice any metric by book, marketplace, format, publication year or period — the free-form view for questions the other pages do not answer.
BSR
Your Amazon Best Sellers Rank for every book, on every storefront you sell in — read from your own browser.
Reviews
Every Amazon review of your books, from every storefront, in one place — with an alert when a new one lands.
Smart links
One link. Every reader lands in their own Amazon store — one that actually sells your book — and you can re-point it later without reprinting anything.
Your verified page
Publish a public page of your KDP royalties that other people can actually trust — and choose exactly how much of it to show.
Free tools
Account & billing
Plans and pricing
You never pick a plan. Your price follows your measured KDP royalties, and every feature is included at every level.
Billing and trial
How the free trial works, where to add a card, how invoices and cancellation work.
Settings
A map of every settings tab — preferences, connections, taxes, notifications, security and account.
Help
Why my numbers differ from Amazon
The seven reasons a TrueRoyalties figure does not match KDP or the Amazon Ads console — almost always a definition, not a bug.
Troubleshooting
The common symptoms — extension not detected, import stuck, no ad spend, missing reviews — and the fix for each.
Privacy and security
What TrueRoyalties reads, what it never sees, what a smart link records about the people who click it, and what happens to your data if you leave.
