Marketplace publishing guide

Amazon MX publishing: listing and getting paid on Amazon.com.mx.

Amazon.com.mx is a separate marketplace inside the same KDP account. Spanish-language authors keep asking the same setup questions; here are the answers in one pass.

The MX marketplace

Amazon.com.mx sells Spanish and English books to Mexican readers. You do not open a new account — you add the Mexico marketplace in the book's pricing and territories settings from your existing KDP dashboard.

Every marketplace keeps its own list price, royalty setup, and payment method, so MX setup is separate from Amazon.com even though it shares the same book file.

Spanish listing specifics

The listing lives on its own: Spanish title, description, keywords, and categories. Trim sizes follow the same KDP options, but Spanish-language readers expect the common Latin American formats.

  • Write metadata and keywords in Spanish
  • Keep the same ISBN or ASIN across marketplaces
  • Use the standard KDP trim sizes accepted for MX
  • Check cover and interior with the same preflight rules

Getting paid from MX

Payment follows the same 60-day schedule and thresholds as other marketplaces. Authors in Mexico, Brazil, and elsewhere in Latin America most often ask about which banks and services are accepted — the answer lives in the Payment Settings, with Payoneer and Hyperwallet covering most gaps.

KDP royalties, explained

KDP royalties explained: 35% vs 70%, and which one you actually get.

The 70% option has a price band and a delivery fee; the 35% option applies everywhere else. This guide walks the real rules and the print side too.Open check

Professional collaboration roadmap

Client collaboration is not included in the current paid plans yet.

Current annual plans provide one account with private book workspaces and numbered source versions. Invitations, approvals, and white-label reports remain gated until the workflow passes a real client pilot.Open check

Free KDP metadata checklist

Check KDP book metadata against the cover before upload.

A clean interior can still be delayed by mismatched title or author text, excessive fields, URLs, or promotional claims. Review one release set locally before copying it into KDP.Open check

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate account for Amazon MX?

No. Add the Mexico marketplace to your existing KDP account under the book's territories and pricing settings.

Why doesn't my book appear on Amazon.com.mx?

Check that the Mexico marketplace is enabled for the book, that a list price is set in MXN, and that the book's territory rights include Mexico.

Can I publish only in Spanish?

Yes. The MX marketplace accepts Spanish-only books, and you can target it without an English edition.

Check your trim size before the MX upload.

Mexican and Latin American readers buy the same trim sizes as the US store — confirm yours before the file leaves your desk.
