FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is ONIX 3.0?

ONIX 3.0 is the industry standard for communicating book metadata to distributors worldwide. Major platforms require it before they'll list your title.

Do I need XML or technical knowledge?

No. You fill in a form or upload your spreadsheet — we generate the valid XML file. No software to install, no ONIX theory to learn.

What file formats can I import?

CSV, XLSX, JSON, and existing ONIX XML (including 2.1). Export from Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers and upload directly.

We're still on ONIX 2.1. Can you migrate us?

Yes. Upload your ONIX 2.1 file and we convert it to a valid 3.0 structure, ready for modern platforms.

What does the validator check?

Required fields, format rules, identifier structure, sales rights, pricing territories, and resource URLs — everything distributors commonly reject. Errors block export; warnings let you decide.

Can I process my whole back catalogue at once?

Yes. Import a spreadsheet with multiple titles and generate a single ONIX file containing all of them. No record limit.

Why does ONIX 3.0 matter now?

The EU Accessibility Act requires updated accessibility metadata that only ONIX 3.0 supports. Distributors are tightening requirements. Getting it right now avoids rejections later.

Is my data stored on your servers?

No. Your metadata is processed in your browser session and never stored on our servers.
