Catalogue

## Pick ebooks and audiobooks from more than 700,000 titles and sell them straight from your store.

One catalogue, curated by you. Search by ISBN, author, genre or publisher, flag what you want to sell, and it shows up in your store at your price and your margin.

1. 1### You choose which catalogue to sell, and in which language

Filter by genre, imprint, language or market and build a store that looks like your bookshop, not like a generic marketplace.
2. 2### No inventory, no cost per title

You only pay when you sell. Adding or removing titles costs nothing and there is no shelf-space limit.

## Frequently asked questions

Common questions about launching a digital bookstore

A digital bookstore platform lets you sell ebooks, audiobooks and digital content online under your own brand. publica.la provides the storefront, payment processing, content delivery, DRM protection and reader apps — so you can focus on curating and selling books.

Yes. With publica.la you run your own digital bookstore on your domain, with your branding. You control pricing, you keep the customer relationship, and you keep a much larger share of revenue than marketplace commissions leave you.

No. publica.la is a fully managed platform: we set up the store, the payments and the reader. You manage catalogue and pricing from a dashboard. No coding and no IT team required.

More than 700,000 ebook and audiobook titles are available to bookshops through the publica.la marketplace, from Penguin Random House, Grupo Planeta, Hachette, Santillana, HarperCollins and over 2,000 independent imprints. You choose which titles to list, and a single agreement covers all of them.

Days, not months. A typical launch runs about a week: we define your catalogue, build your branded store, configure payments and taxes, and you go live with the web reader, the app and the sales dashboard running.

publica.la supports credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local payment methods depending on the region. We handle multi-currency processing in more than 30 currencies, along with VAT and receipts based on the buyer’s country.

Yes. You can offer monthly or annual subscription plans, giving readers unlimited access to your whole catalogue or to specific collections. Subscriptions are a good way to build recurring revenue alongside single-title sales.

Readers can start reading instantly in any web browser through our online reader, or download the publica Reader app for iOS and Android. Reading progress syncs across all their devices.

Independent bookshops, bookstore chains, university bookshops and specialised retailers (children’s, academic, religious) use publica.la to add a digital offering to their business.
