E-Commerce

Specifically designed for booksellers or authors who want to sell directly, Booksolve’s e-commerce solutions can help you reach buyers more easily, advertise books for sale and manage online orders.

Based on the award-winning nopCommerce website package, you can choose from a selection of professionally designed, fully responsive website themes for bookshops.

The themes automatically ensure that the site displays correctly on tablets, mobile devices and desktops. Our standard templates are usually suitable for most applications, although custom designs can be created if required.

• Automatically upload product information, including images, to the site

• Import and process web orders in the back office system

• Automatically update the order status on the website as new orders are processed

How does it work?

You have full control over the content of the site, including topics, blog, news, scrolling banners, etc. These pages can be easily maintained and changed by you, even if you have little to no experience of the nopCommerce CMS. You can simply log in to the backend at any time and make your changes.

Product details are automatically updated from Booksolve, as are order status updates and online stock visibility for Click & Collect.

Your nopCommerce website theme can be fully integrated with Booksolve’s PoS and stock management software, as well as Book Manager’s and Merlio’s, making the change as easy and trouble-free as possible. Integration is also available for Booksolve gift card and loyalty card solutions.
