Once your book is live for sale at the partner sites you have selected, it will take approximately 90 days after the end of the first fiscal month for any sales of your book to show up in your BookBaby account. This varies by store, and depends entirely on how quickly stores report their sales to BookBaby.
Print sales usually post to the account within the first two weeks of the month.
You can use this table to guide you in finding when your first sales should be reported, based on what month your book was released with our partners.

When we receive sales reports from the retailers, our accounting team will review them for accuracy before they are imported into your account. Then, when your account has reached the payout amount that you have selected, we will automatically send out a payment to you via the method that you have selected on the following Monday.
Sales made through your BookBaby Bookshop page will post to your Accounting Dashboard on the business day after the book ships from our facility.
