CardTrader is coming to Card Companion
We are bringing CardTrader into Card Companion, with the same focus we use for Shopify and Cardmarket: keep stock, pricing, and orders connected.
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 support is being built into Card Companion with that trade-off in mind.
The aim is simple: make the channel useful without giving staff a separate workflow to watch all day. A new marketplace should sit inside the singles routine, not pull the team away from it.
On paper, a new 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.
We are approaching CardTrader the same way we approach the rest of Card Companion. It should fit into managed inventory, work alongside Shopify, and use 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. CardTrader support will sit inside the wider Card Companion workflow, alongside cleaner listings, shared order handling, rules-based repricing, and stock your team can trust.
