Creating a Series
PrintLink helps you sell more books by bundling related titles into a series. Readers can add multiple books to their cart in one order, increasing sales per transaction. The ‘Add to Cart’ button next to ‘Buy Now’ makes it easy for customers to purchase an entire series in one click. To create a series, go to My Account > PrintLink tab > Publications > Series Publications > + New Series.
Carousel Display
The PrintLink carousel feature automatically displays all your print-on-demand publications in one place, making it easy for readers to explore and discover more of your work. By showcasing multiple titles on every live publication page, the carousel increases visibility, encourages engagement, and helps drive more sales - especially for authors with a book series.
Genre Tagging
PrintLink’s genre tagging tool helps readers find your books by categorizing them across multiple genres, making it easier for new and returning readers to discover and buy your work. Grouping books by genre expands your audience and boosts sales. To add tags, go to My Account > PrintLink tab > Publication Details > Publication Genre (3 genres max).

Additional Note: QR Codes
Some items may feature a small, discreet 0.189” (4.8mm) QR code, typically placed on the last text page, back cover, or both, usually in the lower corner. A QR code is a small, scannable image linked to a unique product number, enabling us to track the order through the production process. Scanning the QR code will only display the product code, keeping all other order details private.
