Does WordStock connect to Google local inventory and delivery apps?
Yes, by request. WordStock is not in Zachcart's live directory yet, but if it can track a sale we can connect it. We build new integrations in days, not quarters, using the Remote Connector pathway. Request it and we review your install; once connected, your items, counts and prices publish to Google Search, Maps and Shopping and to the checkout channels Zachcart enables. Connecting is free; Zachcart takes 2% on orders it brings you.
What WordStock is
WordStock is a point-of-sale system used in books retail. It is an on-premises, server-based system, aimed at small and mid-sized, mid-market retailers. The company reports hundreds of bookstores in 6 countries (unquantified): a company-reported figure and not necessarily current, so read it as a signal of scale rather than an audited base. Note: sold with IBID since 2019.
How the integration works
WordStock is an on-premises, server-based system, so it uses Zachcart's Remote Connector pathway, the same one that reaches legacy systems no API touches.
- 01Remote install.
We install a lightweight connector on your WordStock server in a scheduled session. No site visit.
- 02Database read.
The connector reads items, quantities and prices from WordStock. It does not write back.
- 03Live sync.
Changes at the register flow to your online listings continuously, so a shopper never drives to an empty shelf.
What a WordStock store gets
When someone searches a product you stock plus "near me", your store appears with "in stock" — the signal the chains already show.
Every item gets a page under your store name, not a marketplace's.
Which products people search for in your area and whether you carry them.
The same inventory feed powers the checkout channels Zachcart enables, so an order is placed against live counts, not a copy of last week's menu.
Gift, specialty, books & florist: what decides the integration
Gift, specialty, book and florist retail is the longest tail in US retail software: GiftLogic, Rain POS, WooPOS, J3, Keystroke and Artisan in gift and specialty; the Hallmark Gold Crown estate (historically Tomax Retail.net across 2,500+ stores in 2012, unverified today); bookstores on IBID, WordStock, Bookmanager and the ABA IndieCommerce program; florists on Teleflora, FTD Mercury, Lovingly, BloomNation and FloristWare, where the POS is bundled with the wire service. Rain, WooPOS and J3 are on Google's free Local Inventory list; none of these systems has a native delivery connector.

- ✓We read items, counts and prices.
