How do I integrate with BookFunnel?
Deliver Instant Access Rewards via BookFunnel
If you use BookFunnel to distribute your ebooks, you can now connect it to BackerKit and automatically deliver personalized Instant Access Rewards — no manual work required.
What you'll need:
- A BookFunnel Best Seller or Publisher plan (API access is only available on these plans)
- An active BackerKit crowdfunding project
- Your BookFunnel API key
Note: API access isn't self-serve. Reach out to support@bookfunnel.com and they'll get it enabled on your account. Once you have your key, adding books or media files to your reward tiers takes just a few minutes.
Step 1: Connect your BookFunnel account
- Go to your project's Settings tab and click Integrations
- Find the BookFunnel section and click Connect
- Paste your BookFunnel API key and click Save

- Log in to your BookFunnel account.
- Click the Integration tab.
- Click the orange Action button.
- Select Add Integration.
- Select BookFunnel API Key from the drop-down list.
- Click Create API Key.
- Your API key will display in the blue banner at the top of the page.
You can find the key again later in your list of integrations on the Integration tab.
Once connected, you'll see your BookFunnel account name confirmed in the integrations panel.
Step 2: Add a BookFunnel bonus to a reward tier
- Navigate to your project's Rewards section
- Open the reward tier you want to add the book to
- Under Instant Access Rewards, click Add Reward
- Select BookFunnel as the type
- Enter your Book UID (found in BookFunnel under your book's settings — format: BFXXXXXXXXXX)
- Add an optional title and instructions for your backers
- Save
When a backer pledges, follows, or reserves and it's attached to an Instant Access Reward, we'll automatically generate a unique download link for them. They'll see the link right after checkout and in their rewards dashboard at any time.
