The problem
A second-hand bookstore has thousands of one-of-a-kind items: each product exists as a single copy and needs its own photos and a description of its condition.
The store needed a shop where such a catalog is easy to search and buy from, plus a channel for buying books from the public.
What was done
The catalog is split into books, vinyl and small collectibles, with genres, search and sorting. A product page shows photos of the specific copy, its details and condition.
There are bookmarks, a cart, one-click purchase and back-in-stock notifications.
The buyback page explains the requirements for books and accepts a request with photos.
Business value
A customer finds the right edition in a large catalog and sees the exact copy they will receive, while the store takes orders and buyback requests online.
