How to apply for bookstore wholesale access

Register a bookstore, submit it for review, and understand approval statuses.

Bookstore wholesale access

Bookstores must apply for wholesale approval before placing orders on Beventi. Your application helps Beventi verify that your account represents a retail bookseller and helps sellers understand who they are selling to.

Before you start

Prepare the following information about your bookstore:

  • Legal business name and trading name.

  • Country and default currency.

  • Primary contact name, email, and phone number.

  • Website URL.

  • Tax or business registration details, if applicable.

  • Monthly book volume.

  • Resale certificate details, if applicable.

  • Store profile details, including storefront type, genres, description, event activity, avatar, banner, and social links.

  • Review wholesale buyer responsibility terms.

  • A primary delivery location unless your bookstore is online-only.

Note: A Beventi account can manage one bookstore profile at a time.

Apply for access

  1. Sign in to Beventi.

  2. Open Wholesale.

  3. Choose "Register Your Bookstore."

  4. Enter your business and contact details.

  5. Add monthly book volume and resale certificate details if they apply.

  6. Continue to Store Profile.

  7. Add your avatar, banner, storefront type, genres, description, events, and social links.

  8. Add your primary location if your bookstore is physical or hybrid.

  9. Submit the application for review.

Note: Online-only bookstores may skip the physical location step.

After submission, Beventi will send you to your Wholesale account status page.

Approval statuses

Pending Review means Beventi is reviewing your bookstore. You can edit your details, but ordering will remain locked.

Approved means your bookstore can browse wholesale listings, view available wholesale pricing, place orders, use carts, and view wholesale order history.

Declined means the submission was not approved. Update your details or contact Beventi if you believe the application should be reviewed again.

Suspended means ordering is paused for the bookstore account. Contact Beventi support if your account shows "Wholesale order is paused" or says the bookstore has been suspended.

Where to check your status

Open Wholesale or Account > Wholesale to view your bookstore status.

If you try to open cart or order pages before approval, Beventi will send you back to your bookstore account page so you can see what is needed to complete approval.

FAQ

Can I order while my bookstore is pending?

No. Ordering unlocks after approval.

Why was my bookstore declined?

Applications may be declined when required details are missing, the business cannot be verified, your storefront or sales channel is unclear, or the account does not match wholesale purchasing criteria.

Can I apply as an online-only bookstore?

Yes. Online-only bookstores can apply.

Can I create more than one bookstore account?

Not right now. A Beventi account can manage one bookstore account.
