CardTrader is connected to Card Companion
CardTrader connects to Card Companion with the same focus used for Shopify and Cardmarket: keep stock, listings, pricing, and orders in the store's working flow.
Adding a marketplace can be useful, especially when it reaches buyers your own store may not. It can also add another place to update listings, check stock, and handle orders. CardTrader is connected to Card Companion with that trade-off in mind.
The job is simple: make the channel useful without giving staff a separate workflow to watch all day. The marketplace should sit inside the singles routine, not pull the team away from it.
On paper, another channel sounds simple. In practice, the store still has to manage stock, prices, listings, and orders. That gets harder if Shopify, Cardmarket, and in-person sales are already busy.
CardTrader follows the same approach as the rest of Card Companion. It fits into managed inventory, works alongside Shopify, and uses the same order and pricing routines the team already understands.
That matters more as the catalogue grows. The spreadsheet-and-memory routine becomes less forgiving once the team is selling through several channels. The CardTrader connection sits inside the wider Card Companion workflow, alongside cleaner listings, shared order handling, rules-based repricing, and stock your team can trust.
