Digital library
Your academy’s own online bookstore publish, price and sell books

- Free or paid — your call
- Read online · download · deliver
- Private files, signed on demand
A real bookstore, built into your academy
Everything it takes to publish, price, organise and deliver books — with no plugins to wire up.
From draft to storefront
A book on your shelf in four steps
Write it once, price it your way, choose how buyers get it, and publish — the storefront takes care of the rest.
Add a book
Write the title, summary and rich description in each language, set a cover, a category and an author.
Set a price — or free
Charge for it with a percentage or fixed discount, or flip the free switch to give it away.
Choose how it’s delivered
Pick one of three modes — read it online, read and download, or ship a printed copy home.
Publish to your storefront
Preview the draft, then publish to a clean permalink shoppers can browse by category or author.
The book, as a product
A storefront card that sells the read
Every book becomes a polished product page: a cover, a localized title and summary, a rich description, a clear price with the old one struck through, and the fulfillment mode shown up front — so shoppers know exactly what they’re getting before they buy.
- Per-language title, summary and description
- Cover image and a free sample
- Price with a struck-through “was” and a discount
- The delivery mode shown as a clear chip
Three ways to deliver
Choose how each book reaches its reader
One mode per book, set per title — read it in the browser, download the file, or send a printed copy to the door.
Read online, in the browser
The buyer reads the book in an in-browser viewer — no download, no file to pass around. Perfect for keeping premium content protected.
Read online and download
The reader can view the book online and keep a copy — the file is released only through a short-lived signed link to an entitled buyer.
Ship a printed copy home
Some books are best on paper. Mark a title for delivery and the future checkout collects the shipping address — the printed copy goes to the reader’s door.
Free or paid
The same pricing engine as your courses
Set a list price, add a percentage or fixed discount, and the final price is computed and stored for you — or make the book free with one switch.
Secure by default
Your content, protected from piracy
Selling means protecting the product. Book content files live in private storage and are never a public link — they’re released only through short-lived signed URLs, and only after the reader is entitled. The cover and the free sample are the only public assets.
- Content files kept in private storage
- Served by short-lived signed URLs
- Only the cover and sample are public
- Access checked on every read
Try before you buy
A free sample that turns browsers into buyers
Upload a public sample — usually the first pages — so shoppers can preview a book before they commit. Free books are fully readable from day one, and a good sample is a proven way to lift sales.
- A public preview per book
- Free books fully readable now
- A proven way to lift sales
- Staff can preview drafts privately
A shelf for everything
Organise the store into a localized tree
Build a clean, browsable hierarchy — up to seven levels deep — so shoppers navigate your bookstore in their own language. Give every section a name, description, image and icon per language, drag to reorder, and publish or hide at will.
- Up to seven levels deep
- Name, description, image and icon per language
- Drag to reorder and reparent
- Publish, hide, and a safe delete guard
The writers behind the books
One author directory, teachers included
Attribute every book to a single author — a standalone writer you type in, or one of your own teachers promoted to an author in one click, with their details pre-filled and re-syncable. Each author gets social links, a storefront profile, a browse-by-author page and a live book count.
- Standalone writers with name, bio and photo
- Promote a teacher in one click, then re-sync
- Social links and a storefront profile
- Browse-by-author with a live book count
Everything a book needs
The details that make it a real catalogue
From bibliographic data to SEO, each book carries the information a serious bookstore expects.
Bibliographic data
Edition, ISBN, publisher, year, page count and the language the book is written in.
Per-language content
A localized title, short summary and a sanitised rich description for every language you support.
SEO and clean permalinks
A full per-language SEO bundle and one tidy, shareable permalink per book.
Multiple content files
Attach one or more PDF or Word files per book, each with its own label and note.
Featured and bestsellers
Pin featured titles, track views and sales, and sort your shelves by what sells best.
Browse, filter and preview
Shoppers filter by category, author, price and format; staff preview any draft before it ships.
All included
A complete bookstore, in one Enterprise feature
No separate storefront to buy and no plugins to stitch together — the whole library ships as one Enterprise capability.
Built for academies universities training centers
