Dear Booksellers,

Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating! And for everyone, just the essentials today . . .

DEIC

  • Booksellers are invited to nominate themselves or a fellow bookseller to ABA’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (DEIC) by 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 20, 2021. For more information, check out BTW.


IndieCommerce

  • New gift invoice feature launched today. Now enabled on all IndieCommerce websites, this new feature allows stores to include a gift invoice with any online order.  The “Gift Invoice” option is available after selecting the “Invoice” tab (see below).

  • This extensive list of new IndieCommerce features and suggestions may help you in the home stretch.

  • In case of an IndieCommerce emergency (if customers can’t place orders or you can't process orders) check the IndieCommerce Status Page. If you don’t see an incident reported on that page, then submit a critical outage report. 

  • For non-emergency IndieCommerce issues, email staff@bookweb.org and include your store name, site URL, and as much detail as possible about your question or issue.


Advocacy

  • Health insurance open enrollment ends tomorrow, Tuesday, December 15. Contact ABA membership health insurance partner LIG Solutions for assistance.

  • Tell Congress to pass COVID-19 relief. Take two minutes to take action here.

  • Learn how to claim the tax credit for the FFCRA’s Paid Leave and Paid Sick Days reimbursement program: read Small Business for Paid Family & Medical Leave and the IRS’ How to Claim the Credits page.


Events

  • Last Coffee Break of 2020! Tuesday, December 15, at 3:00 p.m. ET 
    Email info@bookweb.org for Zoom login details.

ABA is here for all of you. Please reach out if there is anything we can help with. Members can contact me directly, or email the Membership, Advocacy, or IndieCommerce teams.

Best,
Allison
