The bookstore POS built for WooCommerce
ISBN scanning, special orders, used and consignment stock, gift cards, and events — for independent bookstores and specialty shops on WooCommerce.
Built for bookstore retail
The features bookstore retailers actually use, on the WooCommerce store you already have.
ISBN & barcode scanning
Scan the barcode or search by ISBN, author, or title. The right book comes up instantly from your WooCommerce catalogue and stock updates everywhere.
Special orders
Take a special order with a deposit, track it to arrival, and notify the customer when it's in — the whole thread on their record.
Used & consignment
Track used and consignment titles with their own cost and payout rules, so margin and consignor balances stay clean alongside new stock.
Gift cards & loyalty
Gift cards, points, and store credit that work the same online and in-store, with one balance per customer.
Events & author signings
Ring event, signing, and pop-up sales against the same WooCommerce store with a mobile register — no separate system to reconcile.
Why bookstore shops choose Oliver
Independent bookstores run on long tails and thin margins: tens of thousands of titles, most selling a copy or two a year, plus special orders, used and consignment stock, gift cards, and the events that build the community around the shop. Oliver runs the store on your WooCommerce catalogue so the title you sell online and the one you ring at the counter are the same record.
Scan by ISBN, sell by title
Scan the barcode or search by ISBN, author, or title and the right book comes up instantly from your WooCommerce catalogue. Stock drops, the website updates, and the next shopper sees the truth.
Special orders that close the loop
Take a special order with a deposit, track it through to arrival, and notify the customer when it's in. The whole thread stays on their record.
Used, consignment, and events
Handle used and consignment stock with their own cost and payout rules, sell gift cards and run loyalty, and ring event and signing sales against the same store.
