If you are a trade customer or bookseller transitioning from email, phone, or fax orders to online methods, we provide two electronic options: PubEasy and PubNet. Both are accessible online and are often free for retailers.
Pub Easy or Pub Net: 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 Pub Net will be an invaluable add-on for you. Pub Net users can still use Pub Easy to check price, availability, and order status through a secure website. Many retailers use both.
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.
How do I get started with PubEasy?
For retailers, visit PubEasy to complete the online registration form.

What is PubNet?
PubNet is an Electronic Data Interchange Value Added Network (EDI VAN) which facilities book purchases from a network of publishers to a community of retailers using established submission protocol, automating the transmission of purchase orders, order acknowledgements, shipping notifications and invoices, directly from a point-of-sale system to publisher's fulfillment systems.
