Selldone Adds Lulu and Bookvault for Global Print-on-Demand Book Fulfillment

Hundreds of Selldone customers asked us for a simple way to sell the books they had written without ordering large print runs, storing inventory, packing parcels, or managing international delivery.

Many of these customers are independent authors, publishers, educators, coaches, and creators. They want to focus on writing, building an audience, and selling their books—not managing warehouses and shipping operations.

We listened.

Selldone now connects with both Lulu and Bookvault, giving merchants two powerful print-on-demand options directly inside their Selldone store.

How print-on-demand works with Selldone

After connecting Lulu or Bookvault, merchants can link their Selldone products to books configured with the selected provider.

When a customer purchases a book:

• The order is sent to the print-on-demand provider.
  

• The book is printed only after it has been sold.
  

• The provider packages and ships it directly to the customer.
  

• Tracking and fulfillment information can stay connected to the Selldone order.
  

The process is simple:

Customer order → Print on demand → Direct shipping → Tracking update

This removes the need for bulk printing and reduces the financial risk of storing unsold books.

Lulu: global print-on-demand fulfillment

Lulu is an established publishing and print-on-demand platform for authors, creators, publishers, and businesses. It offers different book sizes, bindings, cover types, paper options, and color configurations.

Through the Lulu Print API, Selldone merchants can automate printing and fulfillment instead of manually submitting every order. Lulu says its fulfillment network can ship books to more than 150 countries. (developers.lulu.com)

Lulu currently does not ship to several destinations, including Iran, Russia, Belarus, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Myanmar, and some smaller countries and territories. Because restrictions can change, merchants should always check Lulu’s official shipping page before confirming delivery availability. (help.lulu.com)

Bookvault: built for independent authors and publishers

Bookvault is a UK-based print-on-demand and fulfillment platform with a strong focus on independent authors, direct book sales, and special-edition publishing.

Its API-first system allows ecommerce platforms to automate book production, shipping quotations, fulfillment, and order updates. Bookvault confirms that websites can connect directly through its API to automate printing and fulfillment. (help.bookvault.app)

Bookvault says it can print and ship worldwide to countries that are not currently embargoed by the UK government. (help.bookvault.app)

Its main production facility is in the United Kingdom, while global printing partners support local production in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Some book formats may not be available at every local facility. When local printing is unavailable, Bookvault may still produce the book in the UK and ship it internationally. (help.bookvault.app)
