See every featureEmersoft Books connects Shopify to Ingram Content Group®'s catalog, automated fulfillment, and Pubnet EDI — for bookstores, authors, publishers, and TikTok Shop sellers. Search in-print titles and import them as fully-populated Shopify products. Customer orders fulfill through Ingram automatically. Bulk-import by ISBN; product data syncs as Ingram's feed changes.
For bookstores, used-book sellers, and publishers cataloging their own stock. Enter the ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 of a book in your inventory and ISBNScan fills in its title, author, and publisher. Edit the title, description, and publisher, then confirm you own or are authorized to sell the book before you save a draft or publish. Subjects become tags, the publisher is the vendor, and the ISBN is the barcode and SKU.
