# Bookcurve

*/Startups/Bookcurve*

## Startup Overview

This pricing engine synchronizes dynamic royalty and discount rules across global digital storefronts. Authors and independent publishers use the system to execute targeted pricing strategies simultaneously on Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, and regional retailers. The software automatically translates a single pricing rule into the specific currency and margin constraints of each distinct platform.

Managing international book pricing traditionally requires manually adjusting numbers inside siloed vendor dashboards and tracking complex promotions on static spreadsheets. When exchange rates shift or a coordinated global sale begins, publishers lose days manually updating prices store-by-store. This fragmented, manual process directly results in misaligned regional pricing and lost international royalties.

Rather than relying on the single-platform KDP Pricing Dashboard or the delayed static distribution systems of Draft2Digital, this solution operates as a multi-storefront native controller. Pricing rules trigger dynamically in real-time across the entire distribution network based on publisher-defined parameters. By replacing static spreadsheet models with live programmatic execution, users capture regional demand spikes without ever logging into individual platform silos.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that syncs dynamic pricing rules across global digital storefronts

- Designed to maintain parity across platforms to avoid storefront price-matching penalties.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Indie Author · Price: ~$15–$30/mo · Inclusions: Up to 20 titles, intended daily sync across 3 major digital storefronts, basic scheduled price drops.
- Name: Small Press · Price: ~$80–$150/mo · Inclusions: Up to 200 titles, intended hourly sync across all supported platforms, algorithmic price matching.
- Name: Publisher Portfolio · Price: ~$300–$600/mo · Inclusions: Unlimited titles, multi-region currency targeting, custom rules engine, and API access.
**Guarantee**: If an approved pricing rule fails to push to a connected storefront within the scheduled window, the account receives a full month's credit.

- Operations Manager at a Small Press: Confidence that their backlist pricing remains uniform across all global storefronts, completely removing the risk of platform account suspension.
- Marketing Director for an Independent Publisher: Excitement over the ability to orchestrate complex, multi-territory price drops via the API without requiring custom engineering work.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major storefronts like Amazon KDP or Apple Books restrict or terminate automated API access for third-party price modifications. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Frequent automated price adjustments trigger retailer anti-manipulation algorithms and result in publisher account suspensions. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Sync latency between distinct platforms causes temporary price mismatches that violate strict retailer price parity terms and trigger automatic delistings. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: The majority of self-published authors lack sufficient daily sales velocity to generate meaningful signal for dynamic pricing rules. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated

## Startup Landing Problem

**Cards**:
- Body: You spend hours manually logging into individual retailer dashboards to update a single list price. This delay causes missed flash-sale windows and creates dangerous price discrepancies that trigger Amazon's automated price-matching penalties and royalty clawbacks. · Heading: Tab-hopping between KDP and Google Play
- Body: Relying on Excel to calculate yen, euros, and pounds leads to rounding errors and stale data. When exchange rates shift, your fixed book prices in international markets either overcharge readers or erode your margins compared to the current US dollar floor. · Heading: Managing global currencies via static spreadsheets
- Body: Using distribution aggregators for time-sensitive price changes introduces a 'lag tax.' Because these platforms batch-process updates, your book might be on sale on Kobo but still full-price on Apple Books, confusing readers and breaking your marketing campaign's trust. · Heading: Bulk-loading files through Draft2Digital
**Section Heading**: Your digital royalties are trapped in static pricing silos

**Section Heading**: Automate your global royalty margins

## Startup Landing Faq

**Faqs**:
- Answer: The system prevents this through a mandatory global price floor. Before you activate any automation, you must set a hard-coded minimum price for your account; the rules engine cannot push any price lower than that floor to any retailer, protecting your royalty margins from human or algorithmic error. · Question: What happens if a rule accidentally sets my book to $0.00?
- Answer: Bookcurve connects to restricted platforms using a combination of authorized partner endpoints and secure, browser-based automation compliant with retailer terms. This allows you to update KDP, Kobo, and Apple Books simultaneously from one dashboard without waiting for official API expansions. · Question: How do you handle storefronts like Amazon KDP that lack open pricing APIs?
- Answer: No, Bookcurve is specifically built for 'wide' publishers managing multiple storefronts. If you only use KDP, the manual overhead is low; however, if you distribute across Google Play, Apple Books, and Kobo, our system eliminates the 10+ hours of monthly data entry required to maintain global price parity. · Question: Is this tool useful if I only sell my books on Amazon?
- Answer: We provide a reliability guarantee. If an approved pricing rule fails to push to a connected storefront within your scheduled window, we credit your account for the full month's subscription fee. You can also monitor the 'Launch Sync' status in real-time to confirm all retailers accepted the update. · Question: What if the price sync fails during a time-sensitive flash sale?
- Answer: Bookcurve only manages the price and currency fields; it does not overwrite your blurbs, categories, or interior files. You continue to use your existing distributors for file hosting while our rules engine layers on top to handle high-frequency price adjustments and currency targeting. · Question: Will this mess up my existing metadata on Draft2Digital or IngramSpark?
- Answer: Setup takes less than thirty minutes. You import your catalog via CSV or direct retailer link, set your price floors, and connect your storefront credentials. Once connected, you can immediately post your first pricing rule across all platforms. · Question: How long does it take to connect my catalog and start syncing?
**Section Heading**: Common Questions About Bookcurve

## Startup Landing Final Cta

**Subhead**: Stop wasting writing hours on manual data entry while missing revenue opportunities in global storefronts.
**Reassurance**: Bookcurve uses read-only access for analytics and executes pricing changes through your existing retail accounts without storing your master catalog files or payment data.

## Startup Story Brand V2

**Hero**:
- **Want**: run one global pricing strategy without logging into every retailer dashboard
- **Identity**: an indie author or small press publishing wide across digital bookstores
**Plan**:
- Step: Set your floor · Detail: Define the minimum price per currency that no rule can ever cross.
- Step: Write one rule · Detail: Describe the discount, the window, and the storefronts it applies to, once.
- Step: Review the preview · Detail: Approve the exact per-store prices the engine computes before anything is pushed.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: static pricing silos
- **External**: A weekend promo means separate edits in Amazon KDP, Kobo Writing Life, and Apple Books for every title, and one missed store can trigger KDP price matching.
- **Internal**: You wrote books to build a readership, yet sale nights end with you juggling retailer tabs at midnight, afraid one stale price will erase the margin.
- **Philosophical**: Every other digital shelf reprices in seconds, yet book publishing still treats a price change like a print-run correction that takes days to propagate.
**Success**: Every storefront shows the right price the moment a rule fires. Flash sales start and end on schedule without a single dashboard login.
**One Liner**: Bookcurve is a pricing API for authors and publishers selling wide: one rule sets the price, currency, and schedule on Amazon KDP, Kobo, Apple Books, and Google Play, so catalogs stay in parity without manual dashboard edits.
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Publish a pricing rule
- **Transitional**: Walk through a sync log
**Failure Stakes**:
- KDP price-matching penalties on mispriced titles
- Flash-sale windows missed while dashboards update
- Royalties lost to stale regional prices

## Startup Landing Faq V2

**Faqs**:
- Answer: The sync run records the rejection per store, keeps the last verified price, and alerts you with the storefront's response so you can retry or adjust the rule. · Question: What happens if a store rejects a price push?
- Answer: No. Floors are enforced at the engine level per currency; any computed price below the floor is clamped and flagged in the sync log before anything is pushed. · Question: Can a rule ever price my book below my floor?
- Answer: No. Bookcurve is designed to sit alongside aggregators: direct adapters handle the stores you manage yourself, and rules stay consistent across both paths. · Question: Do I have to move off Draft2Digital to use this?
- Answer: Parity monitoring compares listed prices across storefronts and flags drift that could trigger KDP price matching, so promotions start and end everywhere at once. · Question: How does Amazon price matching factor in?
- Answer: API first. Every rule, preview, and sync run is available over the API and SDK, with webhooks for results. A review dashboard is part of the design, not a requirement. · Question: Is this an API or a dashboard?
- Answer: Bookcurve is built for wide catalogs. If KDP is your only storefront, its own tools likely cover you; the value starts at two or more stores plus currency parity. · Question: What if I only sell on Amazon?
**Section Heading**: Questions wide publishers ask

## Startup Landing Final Cta V2

**Heading**: Publish your first rule
**Subhead**: Write one rule, preview per-store prices, and push when ready. Nothing changes until you approve the preview.
**Reassurance**: Rules are reversible: pause one and the last verified prices stay in place.

## Startup Landing Objection

**Coverage**:
- **Dimension**: Storefronts
- **Expansion Note**: Each new storefront ships as an adapter; aggregator feeds can extend reach while direct adapters land.
**Objection**: KDP has no public pricing API, so how do you actually change my Amazon price?
**Data Handling**:
- **What We Never**: Sales reports, reader data, and manuscripts; the engine writes prices only, never content or account settings.
- **What We Touch**: Storefront credentials you authorize, catalog metadata, and the list prices the engine reads and writes.
**Honest Answer**: Where a storefront exposes pricing endpoints, Bookcurve is designed to call them directly. Where one does not, like KDP, the engine computes the exact price set and schedule and drives the update through authorized publisher tooling. The founding bet is that retailers keep widening partner access.
**Residual Risk**: Amazon partner-level pricing access is not guaranteed; KDP coverage may stay assisted rather than fully automatic.
**Mechanism Detail**: Each storefront gets an adapter: a direct API where offered, assisted update where not, and every applied price is verified against the live listing after each sync run.
