In this section, we will demonstrate how the Layar publishing site looks like.

After logging into layar website (http://www.layar.com/) with layar account (developer role enabled),  click on "My layers" (a blue button on the top right side next to user name) to open the layar publishing site (see screenshot below).

In total, there are five tabs:

1. "Layers" tab - layer management life cycle

2. "My information" tab - publisher information

3. Stats & Errors

4. Sales Report

Underneath this tab you can find the paid layers you’ve published. Currently we support PayPal mobile payments and countries that can purchase premium layers are United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Malaysia.  Options for your sales reporting includes:

• Overview of multiple currencies
• Choose your date (today, yesterday, last 7 days, all time, specific data or data range)
• Possibility to print or export your sales reporting

Based on this overview you can get insights on how your paid layer is doing. Based on this you can decide to adjust for instance your price or pay some extra attention to the promotion of your layer. Please bear in mind that the sales reporting is an overview of estimated proceeds without taking exchange currencies into account. There might be some discrepancies between this sales report and your financial report.

NOTE "Sales report" tab is only available when you have published premium layers.
