Sell Your Books on MixCache.com

You can sell most kinds of books on MixCache.com, in plain text (.txt) or Markdown (.md) format. All content must meet our content guidelines. We maintain family-friendly standards suitable for readers of all ages. Pricing is entirely up to you for your own books.

Yes, we have no restrictions on AI-generated content, and indeed it was one of our objectives in setting up MixCache.com to find a home for books generated by humans, AI, as well as a combination of the two... hence the name MixCache.com. It is always a good idea to disclose to your readers in the book description or introduction if you used AI in writing the book, and we do recommend that you do so, but we leave this to your discretion.

There are no upfront fees for creators on MixCache.com - no fees to join the platform, and no setup fees. If you make any sales, the MixCache.com fee is currently 15% of the purchase price + $0.30 USD.

Our payment processor, Stripe, charges an additional small per transaction fee on all bookings made through MixCache.com. Currently this fee amounts to 2.9% + $0.30 per order. Creators do NOT pay this fee - it is added to your book purchase price when users are ordering your book, and paid by them.

Example: You list an ebook for sale on MixCache.com for $15.00. Readers will be charged $15.735, the $0.735 portion going to Stripe to handle the payment processing. MixCache's fee would be 15% of the $15.00 + $0.30 = $2.55. So you would receive $12.45 per sale.

From time to time, such as at account creation, MixCache.com may credit user accounts with a small amount of free credits that readers can apply toward any ebook purchase on the site (credits don't apply to print orders, MTA subscriptions, or certain Extended Catalog titles). When a reader applies credit to a purchase of your ebook, your earnings on that sale are calculated on the amount actually paid by the reader (list price minus the credit applied), not on the list price.

Example: You list an ebook for $15.00. A reader applies $5.00 of account credit at checkout, paying $10.00 (plus Stripe fees). Your earnings are calculated on the $10.00 net price: $10.00 minus the 15% + $0.30 MixCache fee = $8.20 to you on that sale.

If a reader's credit fully covers the list price, the order is recorded as a $0.00 sale and no payout is generated for that copy. In practice this works the same way as MixCache.com occasionally running a promotion or discount on your book — readers still get the same access and you still build readership, ratings, and reviews, but the net payout for a fully credit-covered sale is $0.

We use Stripe to make payments to our creators quickly and automatically. Stripe transfers your net earnings after MixCache.com fees (see previous question) directly to your bank account within a few business days of orders being made.

Currently MixCache.com only uses and displays US dollar ($) prices. Book prices will be displayed in US dollars, but since users use debit/credit cards to order them, charges will show up on their statements in their local currency. So readers worldwide can place orders. Creators can be located in any of the countries supported by Stripe to withdraw their earnings from the platform to their bank accounts.
