Barnes & Noble
Complete guide on our Barnes & Noble module
Our Barnes & Noble module supports both guest checkout and account based checkout that follows a true first come first serve release structure with no queue system. Because products frequently sell out within seconds during popular drops, speed and stable proxies are essential for success. This module is best suited for books, exclusives, collectibles and limited edition items that release or restock without warning.
