Is that not the site they bought quite a while ago, that did not originally have Global or ISBNs? Just printing for those who wished to order and sell their own books? Later merged with Lulu.com, hence all the changes to the Wizards etc.
Not sure what it means by keep 100% of the revenue. What does it class as revenue? Is it still after you have paid for a book to be printed, then advertised on Woocommerce and Shopify. However, those two sites are not free.
Example >>> www.bluehost.com/hosting (that's woocommerce.)

Had a look at it, and while it seems interesting, I don't really see it being that much of a difference between Direct and what Lulu already does.

I think I already do this. From B&G's website one simply clicks on the book image to be taken directly to the sale page at Lulu. Perhaps there are other webpage situations where this would now result in the same result?
