testimonials from bookstores

“Although something else may come up that I need help with, I wanted to thank you and everyone on the IndieCommerce team for helping us upgrade our website. It is so much easier to manage and it looks great. And though we have lost a couple of features due to moving to Tier 1, we’re really happy with it.” - Serena, Copperfish Books
"ABA has done a great job of making a feature-rich website available to independent booksellers and, just as important, they've made it relatively easy to set up and use. It's also ADA compliant. And the regular webinars that step you through the process and leave room for questions and feedback are well done. Kudos!" - Kim, Rozzie Bound Co-op
"Compared to V.1, it was a much simpler user experience. I found the user interface to be intuitive and better organized than the original as well. Adjusting the configuration of the site is easy as well and I've found the available information prompts very helpful." - Bill, Fine Print Bookshop
"I recently got my new website, Tier 1 on Indie commerce 2.0, live. I'm very happy with it. I had tremendous help from the ABA's Indie Commerce staff. For those of you migrating to 2.0 or considering launching an Indie commerce website, I urge you to do so sooner rather than later. I'm no computer guru by any means, but with the staff's guidance, I was able to get the links with Authorize.net and Go-Daddy, etc. to make going live possible. I particularly like the "Call to Action" blocks on the homepage and other features of 2.0." - George, Sly Fox Bookstore
"We have invested a lot of time in learning how to use as many features of the website as we can. New and useful features are being added all of the time. Our recent change to the Flatland theme has really improved our customers' mobile experience. Over half of our sales are now online and we are using the website to sell custom items, build gift boxes, ticketed events, a subscription and more."
"The best value in e-commerce by a long way. A dynamic database of millions of books with real time stock levels. The platform allows bookstores to present and fulfill orders to customers 24 hours a day wherever they may be. Ensuring their identity and brand is represented throughout. This makes IndieCommerce the clear choice for bookstores."
