How it works
Connect your book feed via API or upload titles manually through our portal — with price, cover, genre and availability.
When a reader adds a book to their wishlist that isn't available from another user, Koottar checks your inventory and surfaces your store.
Your store is shown with the book's price, your distance from the reader, opening hours and a directions button. No friction.
Real foot traffic from readers who already know exactly what they want. After they read it, they'll list it on Koottar — your book lives on.
Integration options
If you already have a POS system, inventory database or book data feed — connect it once. Your stock syncs automatically. Price and availability stay current without any manual work.
Log into the Koottar business portal and upload books one by one or in bulk via CSV. Upload a photo of the book — title, cover and genre fill automatically. Set your price and you're done.
Reader targeting
As readers build wishlists, borrow books and join discussions, Koottar will use those signals to recommend relevant bookstore inventory nearby.
A reader who discusses literary fiction sees your literary fiction titles first. A reader who loves Malayalam books sees Malayalam titles.
A reader adds "Pachinko" to their wishlist. No users nearby have it. You do. They get notified: "Available at House of Prose, 1.2 km away."
Readers always see the nearest store first. Being close matters — Koottar is built around the idea that your street is your library.
When a book thread goes viral in a neighbourhood, readers in that discussion are shown your availability for that title automatically.
