For Used Bookshop Owners
BookStand for Used Bookshops
Your shelves are full. Let the internet know.
You have thousands of books. Handwritten ledgers, WhatsApp photos, phone calls from customers asking what is in stock. There is a better way.
BookStand gives your shop a proper online presence. Scan ISBNs, set conditions, accept digital payments. Your storefront URL is live in minutes. Readers who search for a book online can now find it on your shelf.
No complicated setup. No expensive software. Free to start, and you only pay a small commission when you actually sell a book.
How used bookshop owners use BookStand
Digitise your inventory
Scan book ISBNs with your phone camera. Title, author, publisher, and cover auto-fill. Set the condition and price. A book that took 5 minutes to list on WhatsApp takes 30 seconds on BookStand.
Accept online payments
UPI, debit cards, credit cards, cash on delivery. No more lost sales because a customer did not have cash. Payouts hit your bank account every Friday.
Get discovered on Google
Your storefront is a real website. When someone searches 'buy used God of Small Things Mumbai', your listing can appear. That never happens with a WhatsApp catalogue.
Offer meetup and shipping
Pin your shop location for local buyers who want to browse in person. Offer shipping for buyers in other cities. Let the buyer choose.

Questions
I'm not tech-savvy. Can I still use BookStand?
Yes. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use BookStand. The ISBN scanner works with your phone camera. Everything else is tapping buttons and typing prices.
How much does it cost?
Free to start with up to 100 listings. The Bookstore plan at Rs.999/month gives you unlimited listings, your own domain, and a lower 3% commission. You can upgrade when you are ready.
Do I need a website?
No. BookStand is your website. Your storefront URL (yourshop.bookstand.app) is a fully functional online shop. You can share it on Google, Instagram, WhatsApp, and your business card.
What if a book sells in the shop before someone buys it online?
Mark it as sold with one tap. The listing updates instantly. You can also set stock quantities if you have multiple copies.
