Sell through buono
buono compares book prices across Europe's bookshops. Readers scan a barcode or search a title and see every shop's price side by side — then buy from whichever they choose. Your shop can be one of them.
- Your books appear next to Waterstones, Bookshop.org and the rest — ranked on price like everyone else, no pay-to-rank.
- Readers buy on your own website. You keep the customer and your full margin.
- buono charges 8% of net order value on sales it referred — a little under what Bookshop.org pays affiliates — invoiced monthly. Nothing to list, nothing while nobody buys.
- Send your stock as a spreadsheet, a Shopify export, or a Google Shopping feed URL we re-read every night. No developer needed.

Already approved? Upload your stock
Paste the key from your approval email and choose your stock file. Each upload replaces your listing, so send the whole inventory — every book not in the file is removed. Uploads older than 7 days show "check availability" instead of "in stock", so send a fresh file weekly (or give us a feed URL and forget about it).
Accepted files
Shopify — Products → Export → "All products" as CSV. We read the barcode (ISBN), price, inventory and handle; draft products are skipped.
Google Shopping feed — the file your Google Merchant / feed plugin produces (gtin, price, availability, link, …). Works as an upload or as a URL for nightly pulls.
Any spreadsheet saved as CSV with these headers — only ISBN, price and URL are required:
Example
