IndieCommerce

The number of people purchasing books online from independent bookstores is increasing daily at an unprecedented pace, according to the IndieCommerce team. 

ABA offers two state-of-the-art e-commerce solutions, IndieCommerce and IndieLite, to help booksellers step into the world of e-commerce.

The twice-monthly newsletter keeps booksellers in the loop about new site features, upcoming educational events, promotions and partnerships, and more.

The most recent update from the IndieCommerce team highlights the hiring of Specialist Courtney Karecki, a recent education session on SEO, and password policy changes.

Booksellers attending the 2020 Winter Institute in Baltimore later this month have a number of opportunities to learn more about ABA’s e-commerce platforms for indie bookstores, IndieCommerce and IndieLite. 

After extensive testing, IndieLite is now available to ABA members looking for a simpler, less expensive e-commerce solution.

During its June meeting, the ABA Board approved committee appointments, revised the association’s Ends Policies, discussed ways to improve educational programming and the Indie Next Lists, and considered myriad other issues.
