The three steps
How a shop comes to life.
One afternoon, three moments. Each step takes less time than a coffee break — and the next one builds on the last.
Create your account.
Sign up with email or Google. Set up your profile with photo, bio, and social links. Your profile becomes your public storefront — a permanent address for your work.
- One profile per creator. Multilingual out of the box.
- A custom URL: publica.now/your-name.
- Verified badge once your payments are connected.
Upload your first work.
Drop your files in their native formats — EPUB, PDF, MP3 — or paste a YouTube link for video. Set the title, description, price, and preview. Sell the full piece or chapter by chapter, track by track, episode by episode.
- Native formats kept; we serve them, you keep the master.
- Free preview block: a chapter, a track, a lesson.
- One price now, or per chapter / per episode later.

Share and sell.
Each work and each profile has its own unique URL. Share it on social media, newsletters, direct messages. When someone buys, you get notified in real time — we consolidate the sales and pay you out at the end of the month, in one clean payout.
- One link per work; one link per shop.
- Embed-ready previews on every platform.
- Real-time sale notifications.
What's in the box
Everything you'd otherwise cobble together.
No plugin store, no separate hosting bill, no third-party payment gateway. The platform handles the work that usually eats your first month.
File hosting
No file-size limits. Resumable uploads. Master file never leaves our servers — listeners and readers stream from your shop.
Multi-currency
You set your price once, in USD. Buyers see their local currency at checkout — we handle the conversion at the moment of charge. No FX guesswork on your side.
Sales analytics
Real-time dashboard. See which works sell, in which countries, through which links. Export raw CSV any time.
Customer relationships
Every buyer is yours, not ours. Export their emails. Message them directly from your dashboard.
Immersive reader
A built-in reader for text works with annotations, dictionary, and bookmarks. No third-party app to install.
Tax + invoice handling
VAT, IVA, sales tax computed automatically per buyer's country. Receipts issued and stored — you don't touch a thing.
What we don't do
Three things we refuse to do.
A platform's quality is measured as much by what it doesn't do as by what it ships. Here's our short list — and it stays short.
No editorial gatekeeping.
If your work is legal, it goes on the catalog. We don't review your premise, your genre, or your taste.
No exclusivity contracts.
Sell the same work on your own site, your own newsletter, your own anywhere. We earn your repeat business by being useful, not by trapping you.
No data hostage.
Your buyer list is yours. Your sales data is yours. You can export the lot in CSV and walk out the door, any day, no friction.
