​Why This Matters? The book industry is changing fast. Independent bookstores are moving online — but most are stuck with outdated, manual systems that slow them down.

​Ingram and Shopify flip that script. Together, they let you sell more books with less effort, automating everything from catalog management to fulfillment and pricing.

​This isn’t just about taking orders online. It’s about building a fully integrated, future-proof business — where your store runs seamlessly across online and in-person sales, supported by AI-driven marketing and smarter book curation.

​The bookstores that master this shift early won’t just survive the digital transition — they’ll own it.
