Want online sales, but dread the hassle of doing it yourself? Our Vervante Bookstore offers the perfect solution for stress-free online sales. We handle all the details so you can sit back and enjoy the profits.
No matter if you're new to online sales, or looking to add another distribution channel to your current sales strategies, you're in the right place. Vervante Bookstore sets up the sales pages for your books and other products, and manages credit card transactions, fulfillment and distribution. You set the retail price for the product and pay us a simple 10% per transaction fee. The buyer selects and pays for the shipping and postage. We collect and pay appropriate sales tax, share the customer data with you and provide monthly statements to always keep you in the loop.
Amazon Marketplace
Expand Your Reach with Amazon! At Vervante, we understand that your primary focus should be directing customers to your own website to process transactions, collect customer data, and build your email community. However, you don't have to choose between selling on your site and selling on Amazon. You can do both!
Use your website as your primary sales channel to maximize customer engagement, and leverage Amazon Marketplace as a secondary distribution channel to tap into a larger audience and boost your potential income.
Why Use Amazon Marketplace: Amazon Marketplace offers authors and entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase their products to millions of potential buyers worldwide. Whether you're selling books, journals, product bundles, card decks, or any other custom products we print, Amazon can amplify your visibility and sales.
- Flexibility: Any of the products we print - whether printed on demand or in batches and stored in stock, can be listed and sold on Amazon Marketplace.
- Link to your Seller Central Account: If you already have books listed with Amazon KDP, we can link the products we sell through Amazon Marketplace to your Seller Central account, ensuring exposure of all of your products to Amazon customers.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
1.
Listing Your Product:
You provide us with all of the pertinent details of your product. We'll create the listing on Amazon Marketplace. Amazon cannot discount your product -- you maintain full control of your product's retail price.
2.
Selling from Both Channels:
- On your site, you process transactions, collect customer data, and build relationships with your audience.
- On Amazon, we handle listing, printing, shipping, and provide tracking -- making it effortless for you to expand your reach without additional effort.
3.
Customer Purchases:
When a customer orders your product on Amazon, we receive the order, print the product or pull from inventory, and ship it directly to the customer. We'll provide Amazon with the tracking information which generates payment from Amazon.
4.
Order Reporting:
All Amazon transactions are logged in your Vervante author account, so you can view and track sales alongside the orders from your own site.
5.
Payment Process:
- Amazon collects payment from the customer.
- Amazon pays Vervante, deducting their fees (15% + $1.80 per transaction).
- Vervante reconciles these transactions with your monthly invoice, ensuring you receive your earnings promptly.
6.
Shipping Costs:
Amazon charges customers preset shipping fees: U.S.: $4.99, Canada: $25.00, International: $31.00. If your shipping costs exceed these amounts, we recommend adjusting your retail price to cover the difference. You can also offer free shipping for any region, depending on your strategy.
Why Use Both Your Website and Amazon?
- Your Site: Maximize customer relationships and keep full control of the transaction.
- Amazon Marketplace: Access Amazon's massive audience, maintain pricing control, and enjoy hands-off order fulfillment with Vervante's support.
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
