Overview
If you're transitioning from email, phone, or fax orders to online methods, we offer two electronic options: PubEasy and PubNet, both accessible online and often free for retailers.
PubEasy or PubNet: Which is best for you?
Some smaller retailers can satisfy their direct ordering needs with PubEasy alone. However, if you have an EDI-capable Point of Sale (POS) system and want to order from many suppliers, then PubNet will be an invaluable add-on for you. PubNet users can still use PubEasy to check price, availability, and order status through a secure website. Many retailers use both.
PubEasy
What is PubEasy?
PubEasy is a free online service that connects booksellers with their preferred publishers. It offers a streamlined ordering system with a user-friendly interface, simplifying the process of checking price, availability, and placing and monitoring orders. PubEasy provides a secure and convenient platform, offering flexibility in ordering according to your schedule while reducing the need to contact multiple publishers.
