UBC Press goes live with a new platform for direct eBook sales!

University of British Columbia Press (UBC Press) has adopted Glassboxx’s Vendor solution, which integrates with UBC’s existing Stison eCommerce website to enable mixed print and digital transactions. This makes way for print and digital bundling, making for high-value offerings, alongside a smooth and streamlined user experience.

Not only is UBC Press now able to offer a better user experience for eBooks sold through their website, but they also have scope to use the promotional tools, B2B bulk sales features, and ARC services that Glassboxx offers.

UBC Press, established in 1971, is regarded as Canada’s pre-eminent social science publisher. They pride themselves on publishing authors whose thought and research pushes the boundaries of scholarly discourse and makes new and exciting contributions to academic discourse. They now offer over 1500 titles on topics as diverse as Canadian history and political science to the environment, law and society, transnationalism, gender and LGBTQ2S+ studies, and Indigenous studies.
