Surprised to see no mention of AbeBooks yet. We have an indie bookstore in Waterloo which is integrated with them and it seems to work pretty well. He tells me he still does most of his business in the IRL shop, but there's a steady stream of people buying online as well. Plus, it's nice for him to be able to quickly check how many of something he already has before committing to buying a bunch more of them. See: https://www.abebooks.com/old-goat-books-waterloo-on-canada/1...

I'm not sure what options there are for hardware integrations, but Abe provides at least online inventory and ordering capabilities. I assume if you had a barcode scanner capable of acting as a USB keyboard and entering ISBNs, it would go pretty quickly.
