Google Play Books country checker

Check whether your country can sell on Google Play Books.

Play Books reaches Android markets KDP barely touches — and still refuses some seller countries. China is closed. The United States can sell. Unknown codes need the official table.

Checked:

ISO country lookupSell vs closed vs unknownAggregator fallback

The complaint this solves

Authors in unsupported countries build a Play account, upload an EPUB, and discover they can preview but not sell. Check the country first. Draft2Digital or StreetLib may hold the seller relationship instead.

Play is still worth it when you can sell

India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and much of Latin America read on Android. Per-country prices belong on Play even when KDP already has the English ebook.

Where to publish this book

Pick language and format. See which stores actually fit.

KDP is not a world passport. Korean, Russian, and Simplified Chinese bounce. Select locks other ebook stores. This map uses one rules table, not forty cloned pages.Open check

KDP distribution help

Book missing from a marketplace: distribution settings, delays, and market-specific gaps.

"My book does not appear on Amazon Mexico" is one of the most repeated Spanish and Portuguese questions in the KDP community. It usually has a setting, a delay, or a format answer.Open check

KDP payments, explained

KDP payment methods: supported banks by country, and the services that fill the gaps.

Every marketplace pays into bank accounts from a supported country list. Authors outside the list use a payment service — this page maps both paths.Open check

For authors going wide

A wide-publishing path that starts with the Select conflict, not another store login.

Going wide is one EPUB plus honest exclusivity. These tools show blocked stores, then the file checks you already have for EPUB and metadata.Open check

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a China-based seller sell on Play Books?

The published partner table treats China as closed for selling. Use an aggregator only if they explicitly support your entity.

Is this the reader-country list?

No. Readers can buy in more countries than authors can sell from. This checker is the seller-account list.

Does Google change the list?

Yes. Recheck the partner table before you open an account.

If Play is closed, stay wide through an aggregator.

The store map shows D2D and StreetLib without creating a doomed Play login.
