Plugs into the tools your shop already runs on
The problem
Card shops don’t have a sales problem.
They have an admin problem.
The margin is already in the building. It leaks out through mispriced shelves, double-sold singles and afternoons spent typing card names into a spreadsheet.
Prices go stale the moment you set them
A set rotates, a card gets banned, a YouTuber makes a video. Your shelf is still priced to last month and you find out from a customer.
Stock lives in four places at once
Shop floor, Shopify, eBay, a spreadsheet someone started in 2021. Something sells twice and a customer gets an apology instead of a card.
Buy-ins eat your best hours
A single collection swallows an afternoon of pricing by hand, and every rushed valuation is either money lost or a customer who walks.
The platform
Six systems. One inventory.
Every piece talks to the others, because they were built to. No middleware, no nightly CSV, no praying the export ran.
A pricing engine that never sleeps
Every single, sealed product and graded slab repriced against live market data — hourly, not whenever someone gets round to it.
- Live comparables by set, number, condition and finish
- Rules you control: margin bands, hard floors, undercut limits
- Rarity-aware smoothing so one silly listing cannot tank your shelf
Scan to shelf in seconds
Point a phone or counter camera at a card. TCGMotion identifies the set, number and finish, prompts for condition, prices it and puts it in stock.
- Card recognition across modern and vintage print runs
- Bulk mode for collection buy-ins — hundreds per hour
- Condition prompts your Saturday staff can actually follow
One inventory. Every channel.
Sell a card at the counter and it disappears from your website, eBay and the marketplaces before the customer has put their wallet away.
- Two-way sync with Shopify, eBay, TCGplayer and Cardmarket
- Sub-10-second delist on in-store sale
- Channel-specific pricing and fee-aware margins
A till that understands singles
A point of sale built for card shops, not coffee shops. Search by set code, take trade-ins, split payments and settle a folder of singles in one basket.
- Search "sv3pt5 199" and get the card, not 400 results
- Trade-ins valued at your buy rate as you scan
- Card, cash and store credit in a single transaction
A buylist kiosk that works the queue for you
Customers scan their own cards into a self-service kiosk and get a live offer. Your team approves the total instead of grinding through a stack.
- Live offers pinned to your buy percentages
- Auto-reject list for cards you never want to see again
- Offer expiry so a market swing is never your problem
Know what is actually making money
Margin by set, sell-through by shelf, dead stock by age. The reporting a card shop needs and no generic retail tool will ever give you.
- Sell-through and days-on-shelf by set and rarity
- Dead stock alerts with suggested markdowns
- Buy-rate performance per staff member
Getting started
Live in under a fortnight.
No six-month implementation, no consultant in a polo shirt. Most stores are trading on TCGMotion inside two weeks of the first call.
Connect
We plug into your Shopify, your marketplaces and your payment provider, then migrate whatever inventory you already have.
Set your rules
Your margins, your buy percentages, your floors, your never-touch list. TCGMotion automates your pricing policy — not somebody else’s.
Let it run
Scan cards in, sell them anywhere, and let the platform keep every channel honest. You watch the margin report, not the spreadsheet.
From the counter
Shops that stopped typing.
We were repricing singles one Sunday a month and losing money the other twenty-nine days. Now it just happens. The first month paid for the year.
Buy-ins used to eat a whole afternoon. A collection that was a four-hour job goes through in forty minutes and the prices are better than my guesses were.
The thing I did not expect was overselling stopping dead. We have not had to send a single "sorry, it sold in store" email since March.
See it run on your own stock.
Send us a slice of your inventory. We will price it, list it and show you the difference on a 30-minute call — no commitment, no card details.
