Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, or KDP for short, is a popular e-book publishing platform that was launched in 2007.

This self-publishing platform gives authors from all over the world the opportunity to write and publish their own books in Kindle format. 

If you’re already an Amazon ebook publisher, you’re probably already well aware that you can make more money in sales and royalties from Amazon KDP than other ebook platforms like Google Play and Apple iBooks.

You’ll also probably know that withdrawing your earnings and royalties from Amazon KDP is super easy too.

However, a common problem non-US citizens experience is difficulty receiving the royalties they’ve earned outside of their country and on other Amazon marketplaces.

Luckily, Payoneer offers a quick and easy solution. In today’s post, we’re going to look at how you can get paid using Payoneer on Amazon KDP.

We’ll show you how Payoneer can help and how to set it up.

What Is Payoneer?

Let’s start by taking a look at what Payoneer is.

For those of you that don’t know what Payoneer is, Payoneer is an international digital payment platform that provides users with multiple ways to make and receive payments. 

Currently, the platform works in more than 200 countries and territories around the globe.

One of the best things about Payoneer is that it gives people from less developed countries the opportunity to make transactions with the rest of the world. 

In this case, it gives authors and publishers the chance to use Amazon KDP with greater success.

Some of Payoneer’s most popular services include e-payment services, debit card services, business and individual services, and cross-border wire transfers.

Can You Use Payoneer On Amazon KDP?

Just in case you have any doubts, we’d like to quickly confirm that you can use Payoneer on Amazon KDP.

As a result, authors and publishers from around the world can use Payoneer to quickly and effortlessly receive payments from their ebook sales. 

Of course, Payoneer can only be used on Amazon KDP in countries that currently offer both Amazon and Payoneer services.

What Problem Does Payoneer Solve?

So, what problem does Payoneer solve? Well, as you may already know, US citizens can receive any sales and royalties from their ebooks directly into their bank account.

However, non-US citizens can only receive royalties via transfer from Amazon.com and the Amazon marketplace located in their country.

For example, An Indian citizen will only earn royalties on ebooks they’ve sold on Amazon.in and Amazon.com.

Any royalties from marketplaces like Amazon.jp or Amazon.ca can only be received via checks if the royalty crosses the minimum threshold limit.

Payoneer solves this problem, by making it possible for authors and publishers to receive instant payments from Amazon no matter what marketplace they were bought from.

Using the same example, an Indian citizen can now use Payoneer to receive royalties from all of Amazon’s marketplaces directly into their bank.

Payoneer is also useful to US citizens when it comes to receiving payments quickly. Any payments you make or receive will arrive almost immediately.
