About

Run a bookshop, thrift store or cafe?

Readers already log the books they buy and donate at your shop on Where Books Go. Claim your listing and decide how it looks to them.

How claiming works

  1. 1. Find your shop on the map and open its page. If it isn’t there yet, add it first.
  2. 2. Tap “Claim this listing” and say what your role is.
  3. 3. Prove it, your way: answer a call to the shop’s number, open a link sent to an address at your domain, or photograph your storefront with a four-word phrase held up on paper.
  4. 4. You’re in. Most shops are verified in under five minutes.

Bookshop Pro · $12/month
  • A notice at the top of your listing. One short line every reader sees first — a sale this weekend, a signing on Thursday, closed for stocktake. Change it as often as you like.
  • Up to 6 photos. The free listing holds 2. Pro holds 6: the front, the shelves, the reading chair, the cat.
  • See who's finding you. How many readers logged a book at your shop this month, whether they were buying or donating, how many follow you, and the same numbers month by month for the past year.

7 days free after you verify, no card needed. Cancel any time and the free listing stays exactly as it was.
