If you logged in today and noticed a jump in your revenue for last month and this month, the updated KENP rates explain the increase. Explore the KU rates by country to see how rates changed across different countries.

Enhancement

See exactly what makes up your royalties

• Hover over or tap an underlined royalty amount to see each platform’s contribution. Shopify breakdowns also show product sales, shipping, taxes and duties, reflecting your Shopify net sales setting.
• Available on the top gross and net royalty figures in Dashboard Visual and Dashboard Detailed, and throughout Dashboard Visual’s Performance Tables. Mixed-platform sales are included, with spending shown separately for net royalties.
• Take the breakdown with you: Performance Table Excel exports now include a second worksheet called Royalty breakdown, matching your filtered rows and displayed totals.
• Dotted underlines make explanations easier to find, including Units, ROI and ACoS. Hover on desktop or tap on mobile to explore the details without adding extra columns to your dashboard.

Enhancement

See where your Smart Link clicks come from

• A new Clicks by country chart below the date filters shows daily clicks across your Smart Links, with stacked country bars to help you spot your strongest markets and changes over time.
• Use the chart icon beside a book or individual link’s click total to open a detailed graph and adjust its date range.
• The overall chart follows your selected accounts, date range, folder, and search filters, making it easier to compare results and understand which countries your campaigns are reaching.
• Explore your existing click history immediately, with country totals and detailed tooltips. This shows visitor countries, so you can better understand where your readers are clicking from.

Where to find it:

Open Smart Links to view the overall chart below the date filters or use the chart icons beside your click totals.

Enhancement

Re-sync your Amazon Ads on demand

• Request fresh reports using Re-sync Amazon Ads, below Manage Accounts in the platform connections panel or Manage Amazon Ad Accounts on Ads Monitoring.
• Available once more than one hour has passed since every Amazon region last synced, with no active sync or pending reports.
• Hover over or focus the button to see what it does or why it is unavailable.
• The page refreshes after five seconds. Data updates once Amazon provides the reports, which can take up to two hours but is usually much faster, depending on how busy the Amazon servers are.
• You can refresh the page every few minutes to check progress. Once the fetching warning disappears, the sync has finished.

Easily spot your All Stars Bonus

All Stars bonuses are already included in your royalties. This update makes it clearer when you received a bonus and helps explain changes in your graphs.

• A small star above the graph marks dates or periods that include an All Stars Bonus, with a caret pointing to the corresponding position.
• Hover over the star on desktop or tap it on mobile to see the date and bonus amount.
• Available on the Dashboard, Dashboard Visual, Book Stats, and Historical Stats graphs, including their mobile versions.

Enhancement

Sponsored Brands: Better Sales Attribution & Smarter Spend Allocation

• Starting today, this improvement is available to all accounts connected through the Amazon Ads API.
• We now use Amazon’s Purchased Product report to assign units sold, sales, KENP reads, and estimated KENP royalties to the books Amazon attributes them to, wherever this data is available, instead of dividing these results evenly across the advertised books.
• Sponsored Brands spend is now allocated proportionally to each book’s units sold within the same campaign, ad group, and reporting day. For example, if one book sells 9 copies and another sells 1 copy, a total spend of $100 is allocated as $90 and $10.
• This helps you identify which books your ads are selling and gives you a more useful view of book-level advertising performance and estimated profitability, while preserving your total spend.
• Book-level spend remains an estimate, as Amazon does not provide exact advertising costs per ASIN for multi-book Sponsored Brands ads.
• When no units are sold or purchased-product data is unavailable, we retain the existing equal allocation. Legacy campaigns retain their existing allocation, and clicks and impressions remain unchanged.
• Updated figures appear after your Amazon Ads reports synchronize, following your existing Sponsored Brands allocation settings. Previously imported dates update when resynchronized.
• Thank you to everyone who shared feedback and helped us improve Sponsored Brands reporting!

App Update

• Wait for the page to finish loading. If the error remains, repeat the refresh a few times. Once the login form appears, sign in as usual and tap Submit cookies.

New Feature

Audiobook Listen-Through & Listener Value

Amazon Ads recently enabled US authors, including ACX creators, to advertise audiobook ASINs using Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands. With audiobooks becoming a more important part of author advertising strategies, we have expanded Book Series Stats to help you understand what happens after a listener discovers the first audiobook in your series.

Before you begin

Your audiobook editions may not have been automatically linked to their series. First, open Bookshelf & BSRs, find each audiobook, and make sure it is assigned to the correct Series Name and Number in Series. Series Stats can only include audiobooks that have been linked to the selected series.

Why it’s useful

• Listen-Thru shows how audiobook units progress from one available audiobook edition to the next.
• Cumulative Listen-Thru compares every audiobook with the first included audiobook in the series.
• Royalties Per Listener (RPL) estimates the audiobook royalties generated per listener entering the series.
• Listen-Thru Revenue estimates the downstream audiobook royalty value of one entry listener.
• Audiobook results remain separate from Sell-Thru, Read-Thru, and Royalties Per Reader, so your existing ebook and Kindle Unlimited metrics are not distorted.

How to enable it

• Open Bookshelf & BSRs and confirm that each audiobook is assigned to the correct series and position.
• Open Analytics → Book Series Stats.
• Select the series you want to analyze.
• Turn on Include Audiobooks beside the “Include free eBooks” switch.
• The report will refresh and display Audiobook Units, Listen-Thru, Cumulative Listen-Thru, Royalties Per Listener, and Listen-Thru Revenue.

Series positions without audiobook editions are skipped when calculating audiobook progression. Any rows you manually exclude are also excluded from the listener-value metrics.

Enhancement

Introducing Dashboard Essentials

We developed Dashboard Essentials to give new users a clearer and more comfortable way to get started with Publisher Champ.

It is designed for users who want fewer numbers, less complexity, and a focused view of the essential information they need to understand and run their business.

Quickly review your filters, royalty and spending summary, top-performing books, performance graph, leading countries, and book or series results from one streamlined page.

Rank countries by Net Royalties, Gross Royalties, Paid Units, Free Units, KENP Reads, or Spending.

Dashboard Essentials is only the starting point. When you feel ready to explore more data, switch to Full dashboard for additional charts, comparisons, tables, and advanced controls.

Use the Explore links throughout Essentials to open Publisher Champ’s detailed analytics pages and investigate a specific area further.

Switch between Essentials and Full dashboard at any time. Your selection is saved to your Publisher Champ account and follows you across devices.

Existing users will remain on Full dashboard by default, while new users will begin with Essentials. No existing dashboard features have been removed.

Where to find it

Open Dashboard > Visual.

Use the switch at the top of Dashboard Visual to choose Essentials or Full dashboard.

Follow the Explore links inside Essentials or use the sidebar whenever you are ready to access Publisher Champ’s complete collection of analytics and business tools.
