Sanctumel Library
Paid online on Tuesday, collected at the counter on Sunday
An ebook shop knows how to sell a file. It knows nothing about the table at your church door, where someone comes to pick up their printed copy.

Both offers live on the same resource. You can give the file away and charge only for the paper — or sell both at different prices.
Two offers on one resource, the pickup code, the queue of waiting pickups and counter validation with the name of who handed over exist as shown. People, titles and amounts are examples.
WHAT IS LENT, WHAT IS KEPT
A collection takes years to build. It is lost in a single move.
The argument
The step nobody else covers
Between the online payment and the book in someone's hand there is a gap that digital shops leave wide open. A code closes it.
Two offers, one resource
The file and the printed copy live on the same record, each with its own price. Nothing forces you to choose.
A code, not a handwritten list
The member gets a code when they buy. At the counter you enter it and the pickup is validated — no notebook, no "I think he paid".
You know who handed it over
The time and the name of the person who gave the copy are kept. That is what lets you answer when someone says they received nothing.
What a church really publishes
A songbook is not a PDF
A congregation's resources are not alike: a teaching is read, a song is played, a sermon is listened to. Each has its own shape.
Teachings as PDFs
The most common format: a booklet, a study, a series handout. It is read in the app or downloaded.
Songbooks, with chords and key
A songbook carries its lyrics, its chords, its key and its tempo. It serves the worship team, not only readers.
Audio, video, or a link
A recorded sermon, a video, or simply a link to a resource that lives elsewhere.
Selling inside a church
Free first, paid if you want it
Charging for a resource in a congregation is a delicate matter, and it is not ours to decide. The module pushes nothing.
A resource can be free
It is even the simplest setting: publish, leave it at zero, and everyone gets access.
Or paid, in your currency
The price is in your church's currency. You can also run a promotion over a set period.
Nothing appears until you say so
A resource stays a draft until it is published. Prepare it calmly, publish when it is ready.
What this module does, and what it does not
A short list beats a broad promise. Here are both, without rounding.
What it does
- Publish resources as PDF, audio, video, songbook or a plain link.
- Offer the file, the printed copy, or both, each with its own price.
- Give a pickup code at purchase, and validate it at the counter.
- Keep who handed over which copy, and when.
What it does not do
- We never hold the money: it goes straight to your church's account.
- Stock is declared and optional. We do not count the boxes in your cupboard.
- This is not an e-reader: we add no shared annotations and no reading tracking.
Your collection, and the counter that goes with it
Create an account, publish a first resource for free, and add the paper offer the day you need it.
