POS & Brick-and-Mortar Integration

“We run both a physical shop and an online Shopify store, and my biggest concern was keeping inventory aligned with our POS system. This app completely solved it - no double work, no mismatched stock. Now online and in-store sales run smoothly side by side”

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."

What's the main benefit of using this Shopify app with Gardners?

Our app seamlessly integrates Gardners' vast catalogue directly into your Shopify store. You can browse, filter, and bulk-upload books — complete with descriptions, cover images, and stock data. It also automates fulfilment, saving you significant time.

How does the automated fulfilment process work?

Once a customer places an order, the app sends a fulfilment request to Gardners' warehouse. It waits for confirmation and a tracking number, which is then automatically forwarded to your customer. All of this happens without any manual intervention.

Are there any additional costs for using Gardners' services through the app?

No additional costs are involved when using our app. You only pay a one-time implementation fee of $3,000 and a monthly access fee of $300. Alternatively, you can choose the annual plan with a one-time fee of $1,500 and a monthly access fee of $250, billed yearly.

Can I apply discounts and sale labels to the books I import?

Absolutely. During the import process, you can set discounts and compare-at prices to give you flexibility in your pricing.

Does this app work with Gardners?

Yes. Our app was technically validated to operate within Gardners' system requirements so retailers can safely connect their existing Gardners accounts to Shopify.

How fast can I add books to my store using the app?

You can start populating your store within seconds. The app connects directly to the Gardners catalogue and lets you browse with advanced filters to quickly find and add the titles you want. Note: Once your Shopify store exceeds 50,000 products, Shopify limits you to 1,000 new products per day.

Can Emersoft help me add products in bulk?

Yes — we offer hands-on support for bulk imports. Send us a list of ISBNs and we'll handle the rest: cover images, descriptions, metadata, and all product details.

What support is available if I run into issues?

We offer comprehensive support. Our team is committed to making sure your experience with the app is smooth and hassle-free.

Is the setup fee refundable?

The setup fee is non-refundable. Once the app is installed, the fee covers initial configuration and implementation work, which begins immediately.

Is Emersoft part of Gardners?

No. Emersoft is an independent third party that has built a Shopify app to integrate with Gardners' services. We work closely with Gardners but are not part of the company.
