Bookhead for Shopify
Get your bookstore's inventory onto your Shopify store automatically, every title complete with cover images and full bibliographic data, instead of typed in by hand.
Bookhead for Shopify is rolling out on the Shopify App Store. Sign up now and we'll send you a private install link to connect your store.
How it works
One direction: into your Shopify store
Your inventory flows one way. Bookhead takes the books you receive, enriches them, and writes them to your own Shopify store.
Your inventory source
Connect the bookstore system you already use (like Booklog or any FTP export), import a distributor file, or add books by hand. However your inventory comes in, Bookhead picks it up.
Bookhead enriches it
Bookhead adds cover images, descriptions, and full bibliographic data to every title automatically.
Your Shopify store
Finished products are written to your own Shopify store. Bookhead reads your Shopify catalog only to keep inventory in sync, never as a source of new books.
Your bookstore system, a distributor file, or manual entry → Bookhead → your Shopify store. Bookhead writes only to your store.
Built for Shopify booksellers
Less data entry. A better-looking store.
- Import an Ingram or Edelweiss order file.
- Receive a shipment, upload the order file from Ingram or Edelweiss, and your new titles flow straight into your Shopify store.
- Create books manually.
- Add one-off titles by hand and let Bookhead fill in the rest from the ISBN.
- Automatic bibliographic enrichment.
- Covers, descriptions, authors, publishers, and metadata are added to every product so your Shopify listings look complete.
- Stays in sync with your store.
- Bookhead reads your existing Shopify catalog to keep quantities in sync and avoid duplicates, and writes updates only to your own Shopify store.
- Connect your existing bookstore system.
- Already running Booklog, IBID, or another system that exports inventory over FTP? Bookhead can sync that inventory straight to your Shopify store, no re-keying.
