Aggregator Support in ScribeCount

Can ScribeCount Work with Aggregators Like D2D or Smashwords?

Yes! ScribeCount fully supports sales data from aggregators like Draft2Digital (D2D), Smashwords, and others. Whether you use an aggregator for some books and publish directly for others, ScribeCount allows you to view your sales data in a way that works for you.

In fact, you can easily customize how you view data from aggregators, ensuring you get the most accurate picture of your sales across platforms.

How It Works

ScribeCount’s Sunburst Chart can show you sales data from aggregators like Smashwords. The default setting displays sales by platform, but you can adjust it to merge sales from downstream retailers into a single chart for better insight.

For example, if you sell through Smashwords, the default view shows sales for Smashwords. But you can change the view to see sales by platform, such as Apple, Kobo, or Barnes & Noble, with Smashwords listed as the aggregator.

Here’s how to adjust the setting:

1. Go to the main Settings in the left navigation bar (gear icon).
2. Click on the General tab.
3. Change Aggregator Reporting from the default "Individual Platform" to "Merge with Other Platform."
4. Click Save.

Once this setting is updated, your Sunburst Chart will show a breakdown of sales by platform, with aggregators like Smashwords or D2D listed separately.

Adjusting for Other Distributors

As ScribeCount continues to add new platforms and features, the aggregator functionality will expand. You’ll be able to track and view sales from a variety of distributors and see how your books are performing across different channels, all in one place.
