Navigate global sales tax with the Glassboxx Cart

For publishers seeking to expand their reach, selling books internationally brings a mix of opportunities and challenges. One of the most significant challenges is managing sales tax, which varies widely across different countries and even within regions like the United States and Canada.

Glassboxx offers a global sales tax solution to handle this on behalf of publishers, allowing them to focus on their content, while Glassboxx manages the application, collection, and remittance of sales tax (such as VAT and GST) for both print and digital books.

With Glassboxx, you can fulfil digital titles to readers via our apps

Glassboxx develops and manages a wide portfolio of eReader apps: the Glassboxx app, the Academic Reader app, and an array of white label apps for publishers like Princeton University Press and Simon & Schuster. With complete Digital Rights Management (DRM), our apps ensure a seamless end-to-end experience for your readers, allowing them to transition from your website (where they purchase your titles) to a reader app on their preferred device in seconds.

Key Features of Our Apps

Some of the key features we offer include:

  • Full DRM
  • eBook and audiobook fulfilment
  • Highlighting and bookmarking capabilities
  • Read-aloud options (text-to-speech)
  • Zoomable images
  • A Discover section where readers can browse your titles

How do we do it?

We integrate into print distributors to fulfil print books, and we fulfil digital books via our reader apps, all through one combined cart. Our cart can plug-in to any website, depending on the package you opt for. Our packages have core functionality in each set up, and we have a range of ‘add-ons’ that allow you to put together the perfect package (for example, you can add an extra print distributor integration so you can sell into a new region).
