Frequently asked questions

How does TWICE help manage unique titles and multiple copies of the same book?

TWICE supports both one-of-a-kind books and titles with many copies. Each copy gets its own item record with condition, acquisition source, and cost, while sharing core title data like author, ISBN, and category. You always know exactly how many copies you have, in which condition, and at which locations, without complex spreadsheets.

Can TWICE support donations, trade-ins, consignment, and buyback programs for books?

Yes. TWICE is built to handle multiple sourcing models in one system. You can manage donations, track consignor agreements and payouts, run textbook or general book buyback programs, or purchase inventory outright. All financials — from trade-in credits to consignor splits and margins — stay connected to each item for clear reporting.

Does TWICE connect online and in-store sales?

Yes. TWICE centralizes inventory across your online shop, physical bookstores, pop-ups, and warehouses. Every sale or return updates stock in real time, so you never double-sell a specific copy. In-store POS flows and online checkout stay synced through one backend designed for recommerce.

How does TWICE streamline book intake, cataloging, and pricing?

TWICE allows you to create repeatable processes for scanning, tagging, photographing, grading, and pricing books. You can pull core data with ISBN lookups or templates, then apply standardized pricing rules by edition, subject, demand, or condition. This keeps valuations consistent across staff and locations while still allowing manual overrides for special or rare items.

Can TWICE work with our existing website or eCommerce stack?

Yes. You can keep your current website and use TWICE as the resale engine behind it. Embed your used book catalog, connect via integrations, or run a dedicated resale storefront alongside your main site. TWICE handles inventory, orders, and lifecycle tracking, while your existing site and brand remain front and center.
