Ecommerce connected to your bookstore
Your online bookstore, natively connected
Publish the catalog, sync physical-store stock and manage web orders in the same system: store, warehouse, catalog and ecommerce stay aligned.
Partially available — from Commerce
Why it matters for your bookstore
- One stock across store and online (intended design)
- Booklane storefront with the bookstore’s domain
- Web orders in the same operational back office
- Prices and titles aligned with the management system
- Editorial data licensing managed by the bookstore
Intended flow

Same records and on-hand as the store.

Coming soon
Design: native storefront
A window built on the Booklane catalog, not an isolated plugin.
Included from Commerce when released.
Omnichannel
Design: shared stock
Online sales will update the same on-hand quantities as the store.
Less overselling across channels.
Available
Marketplace Hub available
Connect marketplace channels and manage listings, imported orders, issues and sync audits from one hub.
The native Booklane storefront remains on the roadmap.
What we are designing
Booklane storefront
Native window on the catalog.
Custom domain
Bookstore brand on the web.
Stock sync
Shared on-hand with the store.
Unified web orders
Same back office as the counter.
Aligned prices
List from the management system.
Selective catalog
Publish only what you want online.
Click & collect base
In-store pickup on the same order.
External data licensing
Covers and editorial data remain the bookstore’s responsibility.
How it will connect
Ecommerce will share catalog and inventory with POS and click & collect. Arianna+ may enrich title data where the bookstore holds a license.
Example scenario
Coming soon: an evening web order reserves the copy; next morning the counter sees it in the same system as in-store sales.
