Learn more about selling books
To sell books online, begin by identifying the types of books you want to sell. Your store could sell a variety of books, or you could sell books centred around a specific topic like used books, textbooks, and even antique books. You can then use a Shopify theme to easily start a store and upload pictures and descriptions of your books in minutes.
Your books deserve a wide audience. Launching an online store with Shopify gives your brand a home and customers a welcoming shopping destination. Connect your store to social media platforms and marketplaces to reach shoppers globally. Consider selling your books to local retail stores—building relationships with other sellers can unlock new sales opportunities.

That includes offering your customers personalized book recommendations, running a store-linked email newsletter, and more.
The best way to price your books is to look at what your competition is charging for the same books or similar books. You can then decide on whether your pricing strategy will seek to undercut your competition, or sell at a higher price. You’ll also need to factor in shipping costs, particularly when dealing with heavier books.
