Emersoft Launches Shopify App Connecting Independent Bookstores to Ingrams 12 Million Title Catalog

Emersoft introduces new Shopify integration enabling independent bookstores to access Ingram’s inventory and automate order fulfillment without enterprise-level fees or sales minimums.

Empowering Independent Booksellers Online

St. Petersburg, FL, United States, 15th Oct 2025 — Emersoft has launched a new Shopify application that connects independent bookstores directly to Ingram’s vast catalog of over 12 million titles. The platform removes the usual financial and procedural barriers that once made entry difficult for small retailers.

For years, independent booksellers struggled to access the same fulfillment systems available to large retail chains. Traditional integrations often demanded a $2,000 upfront fee, $100,000 in annual sales, and an approval process lasting up to six months.

Now, the new Shopify app eliminates those challenges entirely. It provides fully automated order fulfillment through Ingram’s CDF Lite service. When customers place an order, the system instantly sends fulfillment requests to Ingram. Shipping and tracking details then return to the merchant’s Shopify dashboard automatically—no manual work required.

Streamlined Integration and Advanced Automation

“Independent bookstores deserve access to the same tools and infrastructure that major retailers use,” said Marcin Ruman, founder of Emersoft. “This integration removes financial obstacles and gives smaller sellers enterprise-level power through a familiar platform.”

The application lets booksellers browse Ingram’s complete catalog and import titles into their Shopify stores with full metadata. Each listing includes detailed descriptions, cover images, BISAC subject classifications, and audience tags.

Additionally, the data links directly with Shopify’s Smart Collections feature. This allows merchants to organize and showcase books effectively, without spending hours on manual sorting or tagging.

Emersoft explains that the automated tagging system saves significant time and effort. Since titles arrive pre-configured with standardized categories, booksellers can instantly enhance site navigation and help customers discover titles more easily.

Expanding Digital Access for Small Retailers

“The feedback from independent booksellers has been extremely positive,” added Marcin. “Many store owners told us they avoided going online because the technical setup seemed overwhelming. This new solution completely changes that.”

The app is now available through the Shopify App Store. Emersoft also provides onboarding support and technical help for smooth setup and operation. More details about the Ingram Shopify integration can be found at https://www.IngramShopify.com.

This launch reflects Emersoft’s ongoing mission to create accessible digital tools for small and independent retailers. The company continues to focus on helping local businesses grow through affordable, scalable technology. More information about Emersoft’s services is available at https://emersoft.co.
