Custom Bookstore WooCommerce Theme
Signing tickets, signed preorders and gift cards for bookstores
When a well-known author comes through town, the bookstore that sells the tickets and the signed preorders owns the night. The one taking names on a clipboard spends the week returning calls. Foxco builds a custom bookstore WooCommerce theme that turns those events into money in advance, with ticket products that include a copy of the book, signed preorders for people who can't make it and book club bundles you restock every month. Gift cards cover the reader you can never shop for. Everything runs on your own WordPress site through Stripe or PayPal, with none of a marketplace's cut. All of it is $999 installed and configured.
Every signing sold out in advance.

Bookstore theme questions
Will the theme be a template other bookstores have?
No. It's custom, designed around your store and built with your brand, your sections and your events.
What does the timeline look like?
7-10 days once we have your logo, photos and a starter list of books and events. Rush jobs depend on our bandwidth.
Can my full inventory appear on the site?
The theme handles the books you choose to list, from a few hundred to a few thousand. Syncing your full inventory from your bookstore POS or a wholesaler feed is a custom integration we can scope.
Can I sell a book club subscription?
Yes, with the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension, which is billed by its maker. We install and configure it so members are charged monthly and you see each month's list.
That clipboard full of names is a list of people who already said yes. Turn it into a ticket page and they pay before the author arrives, the books are ordered in the right quantity and you know how many chairs to set out.
Events that pay before the doors open
Each event is a product: a ticket by itself or a ticket bundled with the book, with a capacity that closes sales when you're full. Attendees get a confirmation email and you get a list to check at the door. A waitlist form catches anyone who shows up late to the party.
Signed copies for the people who can't come
Signed preorders reach readers in other cities who love the author and will happily pay shipping. A personalization field gives the author the name to write, so the signing line moves quickly. Those orders often outnumber the people in the chairs. The author also gets to see how far their readers stretch beyond your town.
A store with a voice
Staff picks pages keep the handwritten-card feeling online, with a few sentences from the person who loved the book. Foxco is a small team with 100 years of combined experience and we know an indie bookstore sells its people first, so those pages get as much care as the checkout.
