How to sell an ebook or recipe book

An ebook on Yaff is a downloadable PDF — a cookbook, recipe bundle or guide. Buyers with access get a download link. You can also gate it to members.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Create an ebook product

    From the dashboard choose New Content and pick ebook. Add a title, description, optional cover/promo image, and upload a PDF (PDF only, 50MB maximum).

  2. Step 2

    Choose who can get it

    Access can be public (free, price forced to $0), for purchase (one-off checkout), all members (any active subscription to you), or select memberships (only the tiers you tick).

  3. Step 3

    Publish and share

    Set a price if it is for purchase, then publish. Share yaff.io/yourname or the product URL. Buyers sign in with a passwordless email link to download.

Recipes vs a full cookbook

The file can be a 10-page recipe bundle or a long cookbook. You can also publish individual recipes as posts and keep the PDF as the paid bundle.

Fees

On Starter, Yaff takes 5% of the sale plus Stripe processing. Creator and Pro take a 0% Yaff platform fee while the plan is active.

Frequently asked questions
