It’s a new year—2026—and we’re launching a new tier of the Emersoft Shopify app for approved Ingram retailers. If you’re an author, you probably think Amazon is the only way to distribute your book. You may have heard of Ingram Content Group, but you might not know how to build your own e-commerce store to market and sell directly to readers. Here’s the good news: we’ve officially launched our best-selling app so authors can take full control of their data, branding, and margins. You set your margin—how much you sell your book for and how much you keep—while fulfillment stays fully automated. If someone orders 100 books while you sleep, those books can be shipped automatically to your end customer. This solution is available today through the Emersoft Shopify app for approved Ingram retailers. It’s plug-and-play with Shopify, and you keep control of your customer data. With Amazon, customers can buy your book, but you don’t get the customer data, and Amazon isn’t really marketing your book—they’re primarily acting as a distribution channel. With our app, we integrate Ingram Content Group with Shopify (which powers over 10% of global e-commerce). We’re bringing that capability to authors. We originally built a best-selling app for bookstores. But authors started finding us and asking, “Can I use this if I only have two, three, five, or ten books?” Until now, we were turning those requests down. Now, if you have just a few books, you can sign up for a fraction of the price. You’re getting an enterprise-grade e-commerce platform, combined with Ingram’s distribution, bridged together—while you own the customer data, the branding, and the customer experience. And you set the margins, so you control how much you make. Wouldn’t you want to know your customers and build a relationship with them? Amazon doesn’t give you customer data, they keep most of the margin, and they can remove you at any time. Emersoft is now open for business for authors. If you’re an author, get in touch and schedule a call today, or get started using the link on this page, and I’ll see you on the

Reduction in Operational Costs

"Before using the app, we spent hours every week uploading titles and managing orders manually. Now product imports are handled for us, fulfillment is automated, and we’ve cut our operational costs by more than half. It feels like we added staff without hiring anyone."

Joy Reid

Host of The Joy Reid Show, NYT bestselling author

"Before, we spent hours handling single orders and updating customers manually. Now fulfillment is automatic, tracking is synced, and my staff can focus on customers rather than chasing shipments. It’s like we suddenly got enterprise‑level tools at indie scale."

Jeanette Thompson

Founder, Romantique Books

"I thought connecting with Ingram would involve big setup costs and a tech team I don’t have. With this app, I was live in under a week, with the full catalog ready to go. For a small independent shop like mine, that’s a game‑changer."

Founders Story

From a Big Dream to a
Better Way for Bookstores

Two founders, two continents, one mission - to bring modern ecommerce to independent booksellers. Watch how a Polish‑British partnership, now based in the U.S., built the bridge between Ingram’s distribution network and Shopify, giving over 100 bookstores a way to sell online efficiently and profitably.

See the video transcript

Pawel says: The United States was always a big dream for me. But it wasn’t easy to get here. So, I started with the UK. That’s where I met Marcin in London, and we started a tech company together. Marcin says: I moved to the US about five years ago. We started working with authors and subject matter experts, and at some point, we connected with a huge publisher. That’s when we noticed something really interesting — how underdeveloped the book industry was. There’s this whole underserved community of amazing booksellers — passionate bookstore owners — who were completely left behind by innovation. We started onboarding them one by one. And it was obvious: there’s not much help for them. Maybe one or two other providers, but they had waiting lists open. You couldn’t even sign up. You had to wait a year just to get in — and when you finally did, you’d get an inferior product. So why would anyone want to sell books online when there’s no good software? Right now, everything is about automation and efficiency. And we wanted to change that. Pawel says: We started working with Ingram Content Group, one of the biggest players in the space. We connected their massive book distribution system directly with Shopify, the world’s biggest ecommerce platform. Marcin says: We built a bridge that makes both sides work seamlessly — for small, medium, or even larger bookstores. Pawel says: The truth is, there are only a few solutions on the market that booksellers can use, and they’re all outdated and limited. Our mission is simple: bring innovation to this space. Now I’m in Florida, and it makes total sense to be here for business. We’ve already helped well over a hundred bookstores modernize their operations and launch online stores. And that’s our goal — to onboard thousands more and help every bookstore owner sell online without friction. That’s what IngramShopify.com is about. Making it possible for independent bookstores to compete, grow, and win again.
