Frequently asked questions

What percentage does Qityol take?

Qityol takes 20% of net sales — payment processing fees are deducted first, then the split. You keep the remaining 80%. That rate applies across ebooks, audiobooks, and any paid content, with no separate lower tier for a specific format.

How do I get paid?

Qityol supports payouts via Stripe Connect, which reaches most countries by bank transfer, and via IntaSend, which pays out directly to M-Pesa for creators in Kenya and other supported East African markets. You choose the method in your dashboard settings.

Is there a minimum amount before I can withdraw?

Yes. The minimum withdrawal is $10 via Stripe, or KES 1,000 via M-Pesa. Once your balance clears that threshold, you can request a payout at any time.

How fast do payouts arrive?

M-Pesa payouts via IntaSend typically arrive within minutes of requesting them. Stripe Connect bank transfers take longer to clear — generally 3–5 business days, depending on your bank.

Can I set my own prices?

Yes, per title. You choose the price for each ebook and audiobook you publish, including pricing at $0 to give something away for free. Price changes take effect immediately.

Does Qityol adjust pricing for lower-income markets automatically?

Yes. Qityol applies purchasing power parity (PPP) pricing in supported markets — readers in Kenya, Nigeria, and other Tier-3 markets see a lower local price automatically, while your payout is still calculated on the original listed price. Details at creators.qityol.com/africa.

Are there fees for running a discount or promotion?

No. When Qityol funds a promotional discount — such as the referral program — it's absorbed from the platform's own 20% share. Your earnings are still calculated on the full, pre-discount price.
