How to Install and Use The Author Helper Suite (AHS) KDP Tool

Step 1: Make sure that your browser's bookmark bar is showing. Here's a guide to help if you don't know how -  https://it.nmu.edu/docs/display-bookmarks-and-favorites-your-internet-browser 

NOTE: If you have a version of the Author Helper Suite (AHS) KDP Tool already installed, please remove that before installing the new one. You can delete it by right-clicking on the bookmarklet and selecting DELETE or REMOVE.

Step 2: Go to the Settings drop-down at the top of each AHS page and select "AHS KDP Tool" from the drop-down menu. Drag the orange button to the browser's bookmark bar.




NOTE: If your browser doesn't allow this, please jump to The Author Helper Suite Help Page for further options. https://theauthorhelper.com/the-author-helper-suite-help/readerlinks-kdp-tool/

Step 3: Go to the Reports page on your Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing page. This looks like https://kdpreports.amazon.com/dashboard in the U.S.

Step 4: When you are on the KDP Reports page, click the "AHS KDP Tool" bookmark on your browser bar. It will collect your data and send it back to The Author Helper Suite site for your account. It will automatically pull your data every 60 minutes if you leave it open.



Step 5: Refresh your homepage on The Author Helper Suite to see the latest data.

IMPORTANT: Do not open and close the KDP Tool in an attempt to refresh the data quicker. Amazon caches their reports so you're likely to grab faulty data. We advise you upload today's report file manually to see your sales more often.
