IndieCommerce

Over the past month, ABA IndieCommerce has rolled out a series of major updates to member stores’ IndieCommerce sites. The work, done with the help of Drupal development firm Optaros, was based on bookseller feedback.

The ABC Best Books for Children catalog is now available through ABA IndieCommerce websites.
