Marketplace Bonuses
iWrity subsidizes bonus points for reviewers who leave reviews on less popular Amazon marketplaces. at no extra cost to the author requesting the review.
Amazon operates separate marketplaces in different countries. amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, and many more. Reviews left on one marketplace typically appear only on that marketplace, and a review left on amazon.com won't show up on amazon.de. For indie authors, getting reviews on smaller international marketplaces is tough. There are fewer active reviewers, and the barrier to entry is higher. Amazon requires at least $50 (or equivalent) spent with a credit card before you can leave a review on any marketplace. To solve this, iWrity pays bonus points out of our own pocket to incentivize reviewers to leave reviews on international marketplaces.
The author spends the same points regardless of marketplace. A US review and a German review cost the author the same.
iWrity tops up the reward with bonus points from our own budget, based on the marketplace tier.
The reviewer earns base points plus the marketplace bonus. making international reviews more rewarding.
Marketplaces are grouped into tiers based on popularity. The less popular the marketplace, the higher the bonus for the reviewer.
On top of marketplace tier bonuses, reviewers who make a verified purchase earn an additional percentage based on the book's price. The more the reviewer spends, the higher the bonus. also funded by iWrity.

| $0.10 – $1.00 | +5% |

| $2.00 – $3.99 | +20% |

Imagine an author requests a Verified Purchase review on amazon.de (Germany, Tier 2) for a book priced at $3.99. The review request is worth 1,300 base points.
