FAQ
Questions bookstores ask us
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes. Every new bookstore gets a 14-day trial so you can try catalog, POS, inventory and reports before you commit. No credit card is required to start on the Free plan.
- Which plans are available?
- Booklane offers Free, Pro and Enterprise. Free covers core daily work for a single store; Pro adds higher limits, MCP and more AI credits; Enterprise is for multi-store teams that need custom limits and closer support.
- Can the catalog handle mixed Italian VAT rates?
- Yes. Titles can carry the correct Italian VAT rate (for example books vs other goods), and checkout applies the right rate per line so till totals and reports stay accurate.
- Does Booklane include a point of sale?
- Yes. The POS is built for the bookstore counter: fast title search, live stock, discounts and multi-VAT lines, with inventory and customer history updated in the same flow.
- Can I export data for my accountant?
- Pro and Enterprise include accounting export so you can hand sales and VAT figures to your accountant without rebuilding spreadsheets by hand. Exact formats depend on your plan and setup.
