BookStand vs Bookshop.org
Support indie retail — and still own your direct channel.
Affiliate, not your cart
Bookshop routes commerce through their system. BookStand checkout is yours (Stripe).
Not for your used shelf
Condition-graded used inventory and local meetup aren’t the Bookshop model.
Digital delivery
Authors selling ebooks need signed delivery — BookStand’s default job.
Catalog control
Your stand lists what you stock. Affiliate links list what the network stocks.
Side by side
The verdict
Link Bookshop when you want to support indie retail partners. Run BookStand when you want readers to buy from you.
