How it works?
Very easy and intuitive! All you need to do is upload a book with its cover’s information and put a price on it. Once you do that you can copy paste the book embed code to place it inside the article. Once you have done that please make sure you have filled in your PayPal account where you want to receive the payments.
What is the flow? How do I use this? Is there a quick guide?
It’s really easy!
1. You install the plugin.
2. Then you are going to Ebook Store > Add New Ebook
3. You fill in title, description, cover image and upload ebook formats. You set a price.
4. You copy and paste the embed code in a post or page, or you can use the dedicated ebook embedding widget while you work on a post or page. It embeds the ebook order form with a single click.
Is there any limitation on how many sites I can use it when I upgrade?
No there are no limitations.
What if it doesn’t work?
It will, if there is a problem, there is real human support to help you out. In the settings form there is a direct messaging widget to send a question to the developer and get instant reply.
