How to use it
Add your books through the Book CMS and fill in the title, cover, description, price, and other details. Each book also has a Buy Link and Preview Link field.
Add your checkout URL to Buy Link and your book sample or preview URL to Preview Link. When visitors click Buy or Preview on the book details page, they are taken directly to the links you provide.
You can connect the template to Stripe Payment Links, Polar, Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, or any other service that provides a URL. No custom payment integration is required.
The same CMS approach makes it easy to add new books, articles, and events without rebuilding your layouts. Everything is editable directly in Framer, including text, images, typography, colors, links, and content.
Michael Hurley gives you a complete starting point for building a professional author website and putting your books in front of readers.
