Scan or enter an ISBN and the app fills in the title, author, cover, description and publisher. Selling used or antiquarian books? Search by title and author, or photograph the cover. Review every field, then create a draft product.
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.
