BookRouter™'s job is simple to state: keep your inventory listed, priced, and current on every marketplace you sell through, from one catalogue. This article is the map; each marketplace has its own step-by-step connection guide.
The Marketplaces page
Routing › Marketplaces lists every destination with a status badge (Connected, Not Connected, Paused, Disabled) and the time of its last routing run. Click a marketplace to open its settings.
How connections work
There are two connection styles:
- Sign-in authorization (OAuth): Amazon and eBay connect by clicking Connect and signing in to your seller account to grant BookRouter access. No passwords are stored; authorizations are renewed periodically.
- Upload credentials (FTP): AbeBooks, Biblio, Alibris, and custom routes take the upload username and password issued by the marketplace, entered once under Credentials.
viaLibri is different again: it harvests feeds from your website rather than receiving uploads. See Getting listed on viaLibri.
What every marketplace page has
- Routing Status: Enabled or Paused. Pausing stops uploads without disconnecting anything.
- Pricing Strategy: per-marketplace markups, markdowns, and price-range filters. See Repricing for marketplaces.
- Sync Rules: days to wait before new items upload, and (where supported) automatic sold-item handling. See How sold items are removed automatically.
