Discover Shop
An easy way for students to purchase materials at registration
Follett Discover™ Shop makes it easy for your students to purchase their course materials through your campus store while registering for classes. Best of all, your students can enjoy the convenience of having their purchases shipped or can pick them up free in-store.
PERSONALIZED SHOPPING MADE ACCESSIBLE
Discover Shop provides your students with access to a personalized shopping page from within the SIS, based on their course schedules. A convenient link from your registration system directs them to your campus store’s website where they can purchase all their course materials with just a click.

Shop By Author
Organizing course materials and increasing commission dollars
Shop By Author leverages our Follett Discover Access technology. Your students can easily access materials by author and make one pass through the course materials aisle — or access all the materials they need in one online shopping list.
MAKING THINGS MORE ACCESSIBLE BY AUTHOR
Organizing course materials department by author (instead of division, department, course or section) not only makes it easier for your students to find what they need, but is also a proven way to increase text sales and boost earned loyalty. This equals more commission dollars for your campus, so it’s a win-win for everyone.
IMPROVED SEARCH EXPERIENCE
Your students can search by author’s last name instead of hunting for the right division, department, course and sectionEFFICIENT ONE-LOCATION STOCKING
