Platform features
Every feature.
Every website.
Regardless of cost.
Whether you choose the Octavo Quickstart or a custom Folio build, every Bibliopolis website ships with the full platform — nothing held back.
Standard features
Everything you need out of the box.
All features are included with every website plan — Octavo Quickstart and Folio alike. No tiers, no add-ons, no surprises.
Two paths to launch
Template or custom — your choice.
Both options deliver the full feature set. The difference is how much you want to customise the design and extend the platform.
Our templated framework lets us launch your personalized website quickly and affordably. You bring the vision; we bring the developer experience. We build the layout, then train you to maintain it fully yourself.
Buy Octavo — $699For shops needing bespoke design, custom feature engineering, or integrations with new and in-print book retailers. Folio gives you access to our full professional design team — or brings your own designer into the process.
Request EstimateUser interface
Over 25 years of refinement.
The standard shopping cart experience has remained largely unchanged across the industry. Our software hasn't. The latest platform is the result of more than 25 years of testing, iteration, and customer feedback — delivering the best user experience to date.
We regularly introduce customer-centric features: saved carts, automated abandoned cart reminders, and new-listing notifications that help sellers build lasting loyalty.
Mobile-ready
Optimized for every device.
Built on Bootstrap, the industry standard for responsive web development, every Bibliopolis website adapts intelligently to desktop, smartphone, and tablet. Your customers get an optimized shopping experience wherever they browse.
Mobile commerce is no longer optional. Every feature — search, cart, checkout, account management — works flawlessly on any screen size.
Third-party integrations
Connected to the tools you use.
From payment processors to email marketing and marketplace routing — Bibliopolis connects seamlessly with the services your business already depends on. Includes built-in Constant Contact tools for email list-building directly from your site.
Platform depth
Built for the long haul.
From search visibility to regulatory compliance, the platform handles the infrastructure so you can focus on the books.
Found by Google.
Built-in SEO using Google sitemaps, rich snippet markup, and structured data ensures your site is properly indexed. Integrate with Google Analytics for full traffic visibility and reporting.
500+ domains managed.
We manage DNS for over 500 domains — maintaining records on our servers or optimizing existing A, CNAME, TXT, MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configurations wherever they're hosted.
WCAG & GDPR ready.
All platform updates are reviewed for WCAG accessibility compliance. Customer accounts are designed to comply with GDPR, and we keep pace with the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
High availability image storage
Your images, delivered everywhere fast.
All book images are automatically uploaded to our Content Delivery Network — optimized and served quickly to viewers around the world. Images are instantly converted to fast-loading thumbnails, with zoom available for detailed viewing.
No storage time limits. Complete control over deletion. Use your hosted images freely with other applications and marketplaces.
