Bookstore Business Models

Industry-Leading Flexibility for Bookstore Services

One size doesn’t fit all. And ED MAP doesn’t serve any two clients exactly alike. Whatever your goals for bookstore services, our platform offers unequalled flexibility to custom fit solutions for you.

Only ED MAP offers a full range of bookstore business models:

  • Student-Pay (SP): Students are notified of required course materials and purchase them.
  • Institution-Pay (IP): The institution uploads orders and pays for materials that can ship directly to students.
  • Institution-Pay with Student Choice: An ED MAP exclusive! Validation storefronts require students to enter their current shipping address and validate pre-loaded course materials. You determine configurable business rules to manage costs and student choice of textbook formats (new, used, rent, digital). Choose what you’ll pay for. Students can choose an alternative format or shipping method and simply pay the difference.
  • Hybrid: Combine any of the above for multiple campuses, programs, student populations or any other segment.
