Lulu

Book print-on-demand and distribution platform, a B Corp since 2016

Overview

Lulu prints books on demand through a global network of printers and has been a Certified B Corporation since 2016. It distributes to more than 40,000 book retailers and ships to more than 200 countries and territories.[10]

Its pricing calculator estimates print costs for print books, photo books, comic books, magazines, yearbooks, calendars and ebooks, shows distribution options and potential earnings, and provides free templates. For direct sales, Lulu integrates with Shopify, Wix and WooCommerce; it also offers a Print API, an order import tool for pre-orders and crowdfunding, a direct buy button and volume discounts for bulk orders.[11] Unlike apparel POD platforms, Lulu is built around books and bound print products, so it complements rather than replaces a merchandise supplier.
