Hi
Is there app for dropshipping to use thriftbooks.com?
thanks,
Topic summary
A user inquired about dropshipping apps that integrate ThriftBooks.com with Shopify.
Current Status:
- No direct ThriftBooks integration exists in the Shopify App Store
- ThriftBooks.com itself doesn’t offer a known integration
- Users were advised to contact ThriftBooks directly for potential third-party solutions
Alternative Options Suggested:
- AliExpress - Large global dropshipping supplier with book inventory
- Lulu - Print-on-demand platform for creating and selling custom books
- American Book Company - Wholesale book supplier
Recent Development:
A new app called BooksCloud (https://apps.shopify.com/bookscloud) was introduced, offering dropshipping for 1.9M newly published books across 6,000 categories. While not a ThriftBooks solution, it provides bulk or individual book selection by category.
The original question remains unresolved for ThriftBooks specifically, though alternatives are now available for general book dropshipping.
Hey there, @saberryder . Thanks for reaching out to the Shopify Community with your question about dropshipping books! It’s great to meet you!
I did some digging through our App Store and through ThriftBooks.com and I was unable to find any apps or integrations that would allow your Shopify Store to source products from Thriftbooks.com. There is a chance that there is a 3rd party integration what would be able to integrate the two platforms; I recommend reaching out to Thriftbooks.com to see if they can provide you with any additional information about that.
Although we don’t have an integration with that specific platform, we do have integrations with other book dropshipping options! I’ll list some of them for you below!
- AliExpress - This is one of the largest and most well-known dropshipping suppliers in the world. You can use this platform to host books in your store from across the globe, and from the best selling authors.
- Lulu - Lulu is a neat option because you can create and print your own books with their platform, and sell them in your store! Here’s a link to their app!
- American Book Company - This is another option you can consider! American Book Co. focuses on selling books to the wholesale market. I definitely recommend looking into them if you’re looking to target wholesale opportunities with your business.
Along with those potential options, I wanted to pass along this blog we’ve written all about starting your own dropshipping bookstore! Some of the information I’ve shared with you is within that blog, but I absolutely recommend taking some time to read through it to make sure you’re as equipped as possible for your venture into this niche!
Are you looking to start selling books online? Have you sold books in the past? I’d love to hear about your goals or plans here!
Hey there, @Patrick771 . Thanks for jumping in on the thread here!
We may get an integration with thriftbooks.com in the future, but as of right now it doesn’t look like we have anything to satisfy this integration just yet! There may be some third party apps to come in the future that fill in this gap. Only time will tell!
Do you dropship books in your store? Do you have experience with the practice? I’d love to hear about your experiences with dropshipping if you’d like to share!
Hi saberryder,
I know it has been a while since you made this post, but nobody replied, probably because there was not a book dropshipping Shopify App for thriftbooks.com. And, there is still not one, But, now there is an app for new published books … BooksCloud: Books on Demand - BooksCloud - Books Dropshipped | Shopify App Store
We just release our app and wanted to share it with you and the community. We have 1.9M published books in about 6000 categories, so we likely have your niche covered. Also, you can individually select books or can select them in bulk based on an entire category of books.
Would love to get your thoughts about it. Always looking to improve.
