Yes. This is one of the most powerful aspects of BooksCloud's bulk sync feature. When you sync a category, BooksCloud doesn't just take a one-time snapshot of what's available — it establishes an ongoing, dynamic relationship with that category. New books that meet your sync criteria are added to your store automatically as they become available.
How the Auto-Add Works
When you set up a bulk sync, you define the parameters: category, keyword filters, cover type, language, stock status, and optionally a bestseller percentile filter. BooksCloud treats these parameters as standing instructions.
As new titles enter BooksCloud's catalog that match those parameters, they're automatically added to your Shopify store — no action required on your part. You don't need to re-run the sync, check for new releases, or log in to approve additions.
What This Means for Your Store
If your store carries, say, "leadership and management" books, and a major new leadership title from a well-known business publisher is released and enters BooksCloud's catalog, it will appear in your store automatically. Your catalog stays current with the market without any maintenance work from you.
This is particularly valuable for:
- Trend-sensitive niches — true crime, self-help, popular science — where new titles drive sales.
- Stores you want to run hands-off — set the sync once and let it manage itself.
- Stores competing on catalog breadth — always having the newest titles available.
"Also, adds new books based on keywords constantly so you don't have to manage it. Glad to be one of the first to try it out!" — Verified BooksCloud early adopter
Do You Have Any Control Over What Gets Auto-Added?
The auto-add respects your sync parameters. If you've set a bestseller percentile filter, only books meeting that threshold will be added. If you've filtered by keyword, only matching books are included. The parameters you set act as a quality gate.
If a book gets added that you don't want in your store, you can remove it manually from Shopify. The auto-add won't re-add it if you've deleted it from your store.
The Bottom Line
BooksCloud's bulk sync is dynamic, not static. Set it once and your synced categories stay fresh automatically — new releases in, out-of-print books out, all without you lifting a finger.
