Custom Author BigCommerce Theme
Signed copies, series bundles and bulk orders for book clubs
Every author with a backlist eventually hears from a teacher who wants thirty copies for a classroom, a book club ordering twelve for next month or a library asking whether it can buy the full series tax-exempt. BigCommerce answers those emails for you, with quantity pricing that drops at the counts you choose, customer groups for schools and libraries and tax-exempt accounts. Foxco builds a custom author BigCommerce theme with title pages, series reading order, signed copy options, an educator section with discussion guides and a bulk order page for groups. It's $999 installed on your BigCommerce store and configured, so the classroom order goes through while you're writing chapter nine.
Classroom sets and book clubs welcome.

Author theme questions
Is this a stock template?
No. Foxco starts from its BigCommerce framework for authors and builds it out with your brand, books, series and reader pages.
How soon can I start selling books?
Most author themes launch in 7-10 days once we have your logo, cover files, book details and author photo. Rushes are possible when our bandwidth allows, which helps before a release date.
Can schools and libraries buy tax-exempt?
BigCommerce supports tax-exempt customer accounts, so an approved school or library can check out without sales tax once its paperwork is on file. We set up the customer group and its pricing during the build.
Can I sell ebooks and audiobooks too?
Physical books, signed copies and bundles are built in and ebook downloads can sell from BigCommerce directly. Audiobook delivery through an app from the BigCommerce app marketplace can be a custom project; your plan and any paid apps are billed by BigCommerce and the app makers, separate from the $999.
The teacher asking for thirty copies is about to put your book in front of thirty families, which makes that email worth answering well. The theme turns it into a checkout that already knows the price for thirty.
Every title and how to read them
Every title has its own spot for the cover, formats, an excerpt and signed or personalized options when you offer them. Series pages show the reading order with a bundle at a better price, so a reader who just finished book one sees the path through the rest without hunting for it.
Bulk orders without the back and forth
Foxco sets up quantity pricing that drops at the breaks you choose, so a book club ordering twelve or a classroom ordering thirty sees the discount at checkout. Schools and libraries apply for an account and BigCommerce customer groups give them their pricing and tax-exempt status once approved.
Teachers, clubs and events
An educator section holds discussion guides, lesson ideas and grade-level notes that help a teacher justify the purchase to a department head. An events page lists signings, festival appearances and school visits with a request form, which tends to bring in the next bulk order on its own.
Every reader from one copy to thirty.
