Gardners EU Home Delivery on Shopify with Emersoft Books

Emersoft Books now supports Gardners EU Home Delivery on Shopify. Booksellers with a Gardners EU account can send customer orders to Gardners in euros and have them dispatched from the Gardners warehouse in France. The same release adds a discount filter to Gardners search and lets a store use its own Gardners data feed for stock, availability, and prices.

Gardners EU Home Delivery for Shopify bookstores

Until now, Emersoft Books sent Gardners orders through Gardners UK only. With this release a store can choose Gardners EU as its Gardners region. When a customer buys a Gardners title in your Shopify store, Emersoft Books sends the order to your Gardners EU account, and Gardners EU delivers it straight to your customer.

Who it is for: bookshops in the EU, or selling mainly to EU customers, that hold a Gardners EU trade account with Home Delivery.

What you need:

• A Gardners EU account enabled for Home Delivery and electronic ordering.

• A Shopify store that trades in euros. The shipping amount on each order is sent to Gardners EU in euros, so the store currency has to match.

• A shipping rate in Shopify for the Gardners fulfillment location.

Gardners EU normally dispatches within 24 hours of receiving an order, and weekend orders go out on Monday. Gardners EU ships an order tracked only when it includes a phone number, so it is worth making the phone number required at checkout.

The full steps are in the Gardners setup and fulfillment guide. If you would like us to switch it on with you, contact Emersoft.

Search Gardners titles by discount

Margin decides which titles are worth stocking, so Gardners search in Emersoft Books now shows the discount under the price of each title where it is known. You can also filter the results: open More filters, enter a minimum percentage under Discount, and the list shows only titles at that discount or better.

Who it is for: any store on the Gardners catalogue that buys with margin in mind, for example a shop that only wants to list titles at 45% discount and above.

Where Gardners gives no discount for a title, Emersoft Books uses the default discount from your Gardners settings, in the results and in the filter. See searching and importing the Gardners catalogue for the details.

Use your own Gardners data feed

Some booksellers have their own terms with Gardners, with their own prices and discounts. Emersoft can now connect your own Gardners data feed to your store. Once it is connected, the stock, availability, and prices you see in Emersoft Books come from your feed, and the stock of the Gardners books you have imported is updated in Shopify from it.

Who it is for: stores with account-specific Gardners pricing, and Gardners EU stores that need prices in euros.

This one is set up by our team. Email [email protected] and we will connect the feed with you.

How these updates fit together

A Gardners EU store can now run the whole routine in Shopify: search the Gardners catalogue with its own prices, pick titles by discount, import them as Shopify products, and let Gardners EU deliver each order to the customer.
