The real problem

You built the audience.Most tools break at the buying moment.

1

Viral attention doesn't equal sales

A post performs, readers want the book — then the buying path falls apart across links and dead ends.

2

Marketplaces own your readers

When a marketplace owns checkout, it owns the data, the repeat sale, and part of your margin.

3

Generic ecommerce wasn't built for authors

Preorders, signed copies, print-on-demand books, bundles, and digital delivery — bolt-on tools for every single one.

How it works

From social audience to direct sale.In one session.

Choose the Author Launch Path and get book-first templates, built-in digital delivery, Lulu POD support, and social shopping — no plugins, no weeks of setup.

Step 1

Create your author storefront

Choose Author Launch Path, pick a book-first template, and your store is live.

Step 2

Add your books and extras

Ebooks, signed copies, Lulu print-on-demand editions, bundles, and preorders — one catalogue, one checkout.

Step 3

Connect social shopping

Sync to TikTok Shop, Meta Shops, and Google from one dashboard.

The honest difference

Most tools make you assemble the pieces yourself.

ilanoShop keeps launch, delivery, Lulu print-on-demand routing, preorder logic, and post-purchase access in one system.

Questions

Answers authors actually need

Can I sell ebooks and physical books from the same store?

Yes. Digital downloads and physical books live in one storefront, one checkout, and one order dashboard. A reader can add a physical book and a bonus PDF to the same cart.

How does digital delivery work?

When a reader buys, their order confirmation email includes a secure download link. The same access appears on their account order page. You send nothing manually.

Can I run preorders before my book releases?

Yes. Create your product, upload your files, and set a release date. Digital files stay locked automatically until the release date arrives, and eligible print fulfilment can wait until launch.

Can I sell print-on-demand books with Lulu?

Yes. Lulu print-on-demand is now part of the author product flow, so you can list POD books without pre-buying every printed copy.

Do you charge transaction fees?

No. ilanoShop charges 0% platform transaction fees on every plan. Standard payment processing fees via Stripe apply.

Can I connect TikTok Shop, Instagram/Facebook, and Google?

Yes, on the higher plans. You connect your catalogue to these channels from your ilanoShop dashboard. Channel availability is subject to account approval and platform category eligibility.
