Bookshop is an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.
About us
We believe that bookstores are essential to a healthy culture. They’re where authors can connect with readers, where we discover new writers, where children get hooked on the thrill of reading that can last a lifetime. They’re also anchors for our downtowns and communities. By design, we give away over 80% of our profit margin to stores and affiliates of stores: publications, authors and others who make up the thriving, inspirational culture around books! As more and more people buy their books online, we wanted to create an easy, convenient way for you to get your books and support bookstores at the same time. Bookshop is a benefit corporation - a corporation dedicated to the public good.

Did you know that we are a B Corp? Being a B Corp means we’ve met an ambitious set of business standards that are better for people and the planet. And at Bookshop.org, we believe that B Corp certification is just the beginning, not the end of our journey to better business. Bookshop.org puts this mission and the public good above financial interests, giving over 80% of our profit margin to independent bookstores. Since launching in 2020, we’ve raised over $30 million for independent bookstores. In total, we support over 1900 stores. We never stop looking for new ways to grow our impact and continue to help indie bookstores thrive in the digital age. B Lab #BCorp #BCorporation #BCM24 #businessasaforceforgood #BCorpMonth
