How do you enter financial information into Bookapy so we can be paid for book sales. I checked the Bookapy site, and there are no options to enter financial data. I assume you enter financial/account data when you purchase books, but so far I haven't purchased any.
Is Lazeez paying by check, despite the delays and overhead involved?
Good, at least I'm not the only idiot too dumb to notice something obvious I missed.

I assumed you and Ernest and others have already had sales and were paid. I'd like to know the answer as well. I thought when the time came I'd read the contract and it would be there.
payment is quarterly and the first payment isn't quite yet due, but I've had good sales.

Vincent asked how the payment will be made. Can you tell us? Of course you being in Australia might be different from us in North America.
Can you tell us?
Not yer, which is why I asked Lazeez directly. I suspect he's now busy writing code to sort that out better. Will advise when I hear.
Lazeez finally released a fix (allowing for different payments to each pen name) that allows authors to set their payment plans. The default is to mail it via snail mail, which Ernest will appreciate, as the ONLY alternative is setting up a PayPal email address (since Ernest can't use PP in Australia).
The 'payment' setting is now available via the settings in the upper right corner and click on the pencil icon. If your payment info. is NOT set, the information will be highlighted in yellow.
Update: Alas, the new settings aren't clear. The ONLY setting is on SOL, not Bookapy, and the ONLY email address is that associated with your SOL ID, and NO setting to choose PayPay or not. That means (supposedly) that your payments MAY go to an incorrect PayPay account OR to a snail mail account via check, as there is NO way to select one option over the other. Apparently, if you HAVE an email address (which we're forced to enter when creating an account), it supposed to default to that as your PayPal account.
Hopefully, we still have time to work out the details before the payments are sent out.
Actually, I can use PayPal, I just can't link it to my bank account - it's an issue within PayPal. Which is why I end up sending much of what I earn from sales to other in more need than I.
I suspect Lazeez has sent every registered Bookapy seller the same email he sent me with the process.
edit - I just set up to be paid via PayPal.

Understood, but with all those new funds, you can certainly purchase a few new books on Bookapy! 'D
Ayep, once the quarterly payments is received.
edit to add: apart from donations to others, that's how I spend the money.
You're right. I was looking for the pencil icon in the wrong place (under the main Bookapy gear icon), forgetting I needed to access my Publish/Account Manager settings.
I asked Lazeez the same question, so I suspect he's both busy writing code and is aware we're all curious.
My sales have been pretty good.
I've sent an email to everybody who has made a sale.
I would like to know the payment process before putting a novel up for sale on Bookapy.
You can get paid using paypal or by cheque through snail mail.
There isn't much more needed details. If you have any specific questions, it's best if you ask me via a private message.
