Custom Comic Book Store BigCommerce Theme
Back issue imports, grade filters and subscriber price lists
Forty long boxes of back issues sit in the stockroom, every one of them priced and bagged and boarded, yet almost none of them ever seen by anyone who isn't standing in the shop. A BigCommerce bulk import can put that whole run online in an afternoon; Foxco then wraps it in a custom comic book store BigCommerce theme that makes it shoppable. Issues carry custom fields for publisher, series, issue number, variant, grade and key notes, with filters so a collector can find every copy of a run in VF or better. Pull list subscribers sign in to a customer group with their discount built in. It comes to $999 installed and configured on your BigCommerce store, less than plenty of key issues sell for.
Forty long boxes open to the world.

Comic Book Store theme questions
Is this a template or made for my shop?
Made for your shop. We start on Foxco's BigCommerce framework for comic shops and work in your brand, your back stock and the pages regulars and collectors use.
How fast can it launch?
Your shop can be live 7-10 days after we get your logo, photos and copy. Rush jobs depend on how much bandwidth we have.
Can my pull list customers see their discount online?
Yes. Subscribers go into a BigCommerce customer group with its own price list, so their discount shows up when they sign in. A full pull list management system would come from a BigCommerce app or a custom project.
Can I list thousands of back issues without typing each one?
Yes. BigCommerce bulk imports take a spreadsheet with series, issue number, grade and price. Any pull list app is billed by its maker, separate from your BigCommerce plan and the $999.
Every one of those long boxes is inventory you already paid for. Online, a back issue gets the same chance at a sale as the new books on the wall, since anyone who knows exactly which copy they need can find it in seconds instead of flipping through cardboard.
Back issues by the thousand
BigCommerce bulk imports bring in back stock from a spreadsheet with series, issue number, variant, grade and price. A collector filling a run of a 1980s title filters by series and grade and sees every copy you have, which tends to empty a box faster than any dollar bin ever could.
Slabs with the details
Graded books get pages with certification details, page quality notes and key issue callouts like first appearances. Serious buyers want those facts before spending real money and a page that lays them out clearly gets the sale from someone three states away. Raw copies get condition notes too.
Regulars rewarded
Foxco sets up a customer group for pull list subscribers with their discount built in, so ordering a missed issue online costs the same as it would at the counter. Event pages cover signings and launch parties, giving regulars a reason to drive in. New releases post every week.
Every back issue one search away.
