Can you sell digital products on Amazon?

Updated

Only through specific programmes

Only through specific programmes. There is no general "upload a file and sell it" option on Amazon. Ebooks go through Kindle Direct Publishing, apps through the Appstore, and music and audiobooks have their own routes. Templates, presets, spreadsheets and printables have no home there at all.

If your product fits a programme, the reach is hard to match anywhere else.

What does not fit

Templates, presets, spreadsheets, printables and most creative files have no home on Amazon.

Some sellers work around it by selling a low-content printed book, which is a different product with different economics.

What you get if you fit

Enormous buyer traffic and a trusted checkout. For an ebook, that reach is hard to match anywhere else.

In exchange Amazon takes a large share, sets the price rules, and owns the customer completely.

The usual answer

Use Amazon for the format it was built for, and sell everything else direct.

Many authors do exactly this: the book on Amazon for reach, the templates and bonuses on their own store.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

What digital products does Amazon accept?
Mainly ebooks through its publishing programme, plus some audio and software. It is not a general store for templates or design files.
Can I sell a PDF on Amazon?
Not as a PDF. Convert it to an ebook format and publish through Kindle Direct Publishing.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes, though enrolling in exclusivity programmes restricts where else you can sell it for the term.
How much does Amazon take?
It depends on the programme and the price band. Check the current royalty table before you set a price.
Where should I sell the files Amazon will not take?
A storefront, a creative marketplace, or a store inside a community you already run. All three handle digital delivery properly.
