It's confusing. I'm not sure it would work for books unless they had ebook download capabilities or they could possibly sell paperbacks.

"Businesses with checkout must provide this information:
A business category and type
Bank account details for collecting payouts.
A State Tax Registration Number for every state where the business operates, for tax purposes.
A Federal Tax Identification Number that matches the business representative’s name for financial reporting.
A business representative’s personal or business identity information to verify the authenticity of the business.
Shipping options, return policy and a customer service email to set up customer service."

But then, I'm just starting to read.
