The Wholesale Integrations found on the Settings Tab in ScoutIQ and ScoutIQ 2 help you make better sourcing decisions in real time by showing guaranteed buyback and consignment options while you scan.
These integrations can be enabled in the Wholesale Integrations section of the Settings Tab in ScoutIQ and ScoutIQ 2:
Many sellers use these offers to build separate sourcing stacks in their carts:
one for Amazon listings, and another for wholesale or consignment—maximizing ROI while minimizing risk.
Wholesale Audio Cue (Optional)
If you have Wholesale Integration and Wholesale Audio Cues enabled, you’ll hear a short bell sound followed by a high-pitched beep if a book is rejected by regular triggers, but has a buyback price higher than your cost. This helps you catch profitable wholesale buys without watching the screen.

Why Integrations Matter While Sourcing
When you scan a book in ScoutIQ or ScoutIQ 2, Amazon profit is an educated estimate based on current data. Wholesale and consignment integrations add something different:
A known dollar amount you will be paid
No guessing about sell-through
No waiting for an Amazon sale (for wholesale)
A fallback for books you can’t or shouldn’t list
This makes integrations especially valuable for:
New sellers looking for faster, more predictable ROI
Bulk or low-cost sourcing
Monetizing books that are restricted, rejected, or simply not worth listing
World of Books & BooksRun: Wholesale Options
Wholesale integrations are designed for speed, certainty, and volume.
How Wholesale Offers Work
When enabled, the ScoutIQ and ScoutIQ 2 apps display the exact buyback price offered by World of Books or BooksRun directly on the scan screen.
The price shown is guaranteed cash, not an estimate
You’re selling directly to the wholesaler—not listing on Amazon
No waiting for a buyer
Ideal for cheap, bulk, or lower-margin books
Many sellers intentionally source books where the wholesale offer:
Covers cost immediately
Locks in profit with minimal effort
Frees up capital quickly
Building Wholesale Shipments
Tap the wholesale offer to add the book to your in-app cart
Create a shipment once you reach:
$7.50 minimum for World of Books
$10.00 minimum for BooksRun
Print shipping labels directly from ScoutIQ
Shipping is deducted, and you’re paid after processing
Restricted Inventory: Consignment Option
Restricted Inventory offers a longer-term monetization path for items that don’t make sense for wholesale or Amazon.
How Consignment Works
When scanning:
ScoutIQ displays a consignment estimate
The number shown represents 50% of what Restricted Inventory expects to sell the item for
This is an estimate, not guaranteed cash
If you proceed:
You ship the item to Restricted Inventory
They handle listing and selling
You are paid only after the item sells
Consignment is commonly used for:
Amazon-restricted inventory
Higher-value items with low wholesale offers
Books sourced cheaply enough to justify waiting
Monetizing “Duds” and Sourcing Mistakes
Integrations aren’t just about intentional sourcing—they’re also a safety net.
If you:
Bought books without checking restrictions
Took a calculated risk on a restricted item
Got unexpectedly shut down from listing on Amazon
Wholesale and consignment integrations provide alternative exits, turning potential losses into recovered capital—or even profit.
This flexibility is why many sellers keep multiple stacks while sourcing:
Amazon stack
Wholesale stack
Consignment stack
One-Time Setup (Required)
Before offers appear while scanning, ensure Wholesale Integrations have been togged on, under the Settings Tab:
Then you’ll need to create a free account with each service you want to use. Then tap the offer presented in the ScoutIQ or ScoutIQ 2 app, and log-in. After setup, ScoutIQ remembers your login and adds eligible books to your cart with a single tap.
