D2C Platforms - Features
We work with many publishers, large and small, creating future-proof and easily managed D2C websites to help them move easily and efficiently into the new publishing era.
Our sites are built around an open-source eCommerce platform and integrated with Adobe Content Server 4 for DRM if requested. This platform gives publishers complete control over site presentation, content and functionality and has simple checkout, social media and community area features. Most importantly, it is a modular platform, enabling us to create and add modules to give a site extra features and functionality, as and when wanted. This ensures flexibility, a crucial characteristic of a successful D2C site.
Higher percentage of sale price by selling direct
Our D2C solutions offer you the opportunity of earning 80% of the retail price when you sell your titles direct. This includes all charges for credit cards and DRM.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) a standard provision
All titles sold on our D2C platforms have DRM protection, if you want this option. This is provided by integrating global standard software Adobe Content Server 4 (ASC4).
Your eBooks available on most reading devices
Most reading devices, including iPad, iPhone and Android devices, will be able to read eBooks from your site as standard ePub titles (note that iPad requires a reader download). We also convert to Mobi format, for Kindle readers.
Secure payment gateway, with royalties paid monthly
All payment pages can be branded with your company identity via a secure gateway using industry standard Secure Socket Layers (SSL) for encryption, with royalty payments being made on a monthly basis.
Range of eCommerce platforms available, to suit different levels of operation
Our platforms are designed to suit all levels of operation, from small to large publishers and from clients simply wanting to add eCommerce facilities to an existing website to those wanting a complete, customised ecommerce solution.
