xocbox Offers Ingram Books EDI Compliant Solution

sell ebooks and print books online

xocbox.com now offers a fully integrated EDI solution for publishers working with Ingram Books.

Working with a publisher who offered ebooks on their own Woocommerce website, and also sold print books through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, xocbox has now enabled them to sell print books directly from their own website through their partnership with Ingram Books.

The Ingram EDI compliant solution offered by xocbox.com means that the publisher can now offer their customers  a choice of purchasing an ebook, a print book or a bundle of ebook and print.

The system is managed through the xocbox product manager where all book details, such as ISBNs, retail price, sales price, author information, publish date and book covers can be organized and pushed through to the Woocommerce website.

xocbox makes managing data an easy process, with user friendly screens and drop-downs.  The variations screen lets you choose the medium for the book you are selling.

When a customer buys a print book, the order is passed through the xocbox middleware to Ingram and processed for delivery to the customer.

xocbox manages the data ensuring that all transactions comply with Ingram’s EDI guidelines.

Ebooks are fulfilled by the publisher in the normal way, and Ingram drop ships the print books.

While the changes have been taking place at Yahoo to transition merchant stores to the new platform, Aabaco, xocbox has been working on new drag and drop tools to make arranging your products and section pages a breeze.

One of the difficult things about setting up your online store is trying to visualize how products will look on a page once you publish them next to the other products already listed.

Creating section pages can also be challenging once you’ve listed products in a certain category or brand.

New drag and drop tools from xocbox allow you the freedom to choose colors, and products and place them where you would like them to appear on your store page or section page. Products can also be listed on multiple section pages.

This great addition to the xocbox toolset not only provides a practical solution to creating pages and sections within you store, it is also great fun to use!

Contact xocbox to learn more about section page features, and drag and drop tools.
