Features of Glassboxx
When you choose Glassboxx, you’ll gain access to a wide range of features that we’re constantly adding to! We know that reaching your readers directly is the best way to enhance your brand, your reader engagement, and your profits – so we’ve accounted for this with features that free up your time and resources as your business grows.
The original 'Buy Now' Button
Our original 'buy now' buttons enable you to create your own marketplace. Vendor + customers will find 'buy now' links generated automatically for their books, which they can feature on their website. Make it easy for readers to purchase your titles!
Custom Product Pages
Landing pages are important. With our customisable product pages, you can add your own logo and backgrounds, making them as unique as your books are! Make sure that your reader’s journey is engaging and brand - aligned.
Social Links
All Glassboxx customers are able to share 'buy now' links to books across their social channels using our auto-generated Facebook and Twitter links. Publishers and authors that use our links across social media make more sales and create more conversations!
eCommerce Website Integration
We have designed Glassboxx to work for everyone, whatever your setup. If you have your own eCommerce website, you can use our integrations for Shopify, Magento or WooCommerce. For other websites, you can use our generic Sales API to link your sales to Glassboxx so we can handle fulfilment of your readers’ purchases.
The Glassboxx Dashboard
The Glassboxx Dashboard offers various ways to upload content, as well as marketing tools and report generating.
Manual Title Upload
Perfect for a smaller number of titles, Manual Upload enables you to add new content, with clear instructions on how to name your files, supply metadata and more critical title information. You can then sell these directly using your own eCommerce platform, or use the Glassboxx Buy Now options, with Glassboxx providing fulfilment to your customers.
Sales Reports
Manage your data in your own way. Export global sales reports as CSV files and keep everyone on the same page.
Automated Title Upload
For large numbers of titles, the automated title upload is recommended, saving time and resource at both ends. Our importer accepts asset file and ONIX metadata feeds from the recognised sources: Coresource, Biblio, Booksonix, Stison etc, with corresponding cover images provided via SFTP in the standard way. Our team is also on hand to help out at any point during the title onboarding process. And of course, you can view your titles from the customer perspective via the auto-created product pages, prior to embedding the links to purchase on your own website or using the Glassboxx Buy Now options.
Vouchers
You can easily create vouchers for your readers in your Glassboxx Dashboard. These can be single or multiple use (per customer), a fixed amount or a percentage, or gratis copy vouchers. We support limited time usage both for gratis copy requests and institutional tokens.
Email Marketing
Capture customer data at the checkout. With customers’ consent, expand your valuable mailing lists as more readers buy your titles on Glassboxx.
Admin Users
You can set up multiple admin users in the Glassboxx Dashboard - we’re making it easier for you and your team to use Glassboxx and drive sales.
