Custom Bookstore WordPress Theme
Staff picks, event calendars and special orders for bookstores
People who love bookstores will happily pay full price for a book they could get cheaper online, as long as the store gives them a reason: a handwritten staff pick, a reading on Thursday, a clerk who remembers what they liked last time. Foxco builds a custom bookstore WordPress theme that carries that feeling onto the web, with staff picks pages, an event calendar for readings and book clubs, a special order form for titles you don't have on the shelf and a section for used books if you buy and sell them. For $999 it's installed and configured and your regulars get something to check between visits.
A bookstore people go out of their way for.

Bookstore theme questions
Are we getting a template or a theme made for us?
A theme made for you. Foxco starts with its bookstore framework and finishes it with your brand, your shelves, your staff and the events that make your store what it is.
What's a realistic launch date?
Most bookstore sites go live in 7-10 days once your logo, photos and content are in hand. Rush jobs depend on our bandwidth.
Can we sell books online through the site?
Special order requests and featured titles are built in. A full online catalog with checkout is something we can scope as a custom project, whether that's a few hundred titles or your whole used inventory.
Can we take RSVPs for author events?
Yes. Each event gets its own page with an RSVP form, so you know how many chairs to set out and who to email if the author's flight gets delayed.
Readers who pay full price are paying for the store itself. Every part of this theme is designed to feel like your shelves and your people, with the catalog sitting quietly in the background.
Staff picks with a voice
A few sentences from someone who loved the book sell more than any cover blurb. Staff picks pages give each bookseller a shelf of their own online, with a photo and short reviews that sound like them, which is easy to keep up whenever a new favorite comes in.
A calendar people check
Readings, signings, story time and book club nights keep a store busy midweek. The event calendar gives each one a page with an RSVP, the book being discussed and a note on buying it ahead of time, so the evening sells copies before anyone arrives. Book club pages with the reading list for the next few months help too.
Special orders without sticky notes
Foxco adds a special order form that collects title, author, edition and contact details, so requests stop living on the back of receipts by the register. You get a clean list to order from and you know exactly who to call when the box arrives. Special orders also show you what your shelves are missing.
