Redemption codes
Share redemption codes with your friends, family, collaborators, and others to give them a free copy of your audiobook on Spotify.
Note: You don’t earn royalties from any free copies of your audiobook.
Generating redemption codes
If an audiobook is self-published, the author can generate codes.
If an audiobook is published by a publisher, the publisher can generate codes, and optionally allow the author to generate codes. If you’re the author, speak to your publisher about generating codes for you.
- Log in to authors.spotify.com
- Select an audiobook from Catalog, then click Redemption codes.
- Enter the number of codes you want, then click Generate.
You can generate up to 1,000 codes per audiobook.
Each code can only be redeemed once.
You can only generate redemption codes for audiobooks that are available on Spotify.
