Buy Links display on your books' preview pages on Google Books, pointing readers to your site if they want to purchase the book. If the Buy Link URLs for all your books follow a pattern using the books' 13-digit ISBNs, you don't need to manually enter each URL. Instead, we can automatically generate the Buy Link for each book in your account.
Enter the pattern in your template settings. To determine the pattern, you can take one of your URLs and replace the ISBN with the appropriate variable listed below:
| Variable | Explanation |
|---|---|
<ISBN> |
