Shopify buylist for TCG stores
Buy more singles through your Shopify store.
Customers search for their cards, compare estimated cash and store-credit offers, and send your team a ready-to-review submission.
01 Set the offer
Some of your best singles are already in your community.
Buying from customers gives you more control than sealed product. You choose the cards you want, what you can offer and the margin you need when they sell.
Set cash and store-credit rates for each game, offer a little extra in credit and flag higher-value cards for your team to review.
Example settings
02 Customer submission
Let customers prepare their trade-in before the cards arrive.
Customers use your Shopify store to find their cards, add quantities and compare estimated cash and store-credit offers.
Your team receives a clear, organised list, so there is less sorting at the counter and no spreadsheet to build from scratch.
03 Review and receive
Review the cards, customer details and payout together.
Each submission keeps the card list, quantities, estimated values and the customer’s chosen payout in one clear record.
When the cards arrive, your team can check their condition, make any adjustments and add the accepted cards to Shopify inventory.
Good to know
Common questions from store owners.
- Can customers choose cash or store credit?
- Yes. You can offer cash, store credit or both, and choose how much extra customers receive when they take store credit.
- Is the online offer final?
- No. It is an estimate based on the cards the customer submits. Your team can check the physical cards and adjust the condition, quantity or value before approving the final payout.
- Can we use different buy rates for each game?
- Yes. Set separate buy rates, store-credit bonuses and review thresholds for each game, so your Magic buylist can work differently from your Pokémon buylist. Automatic pricing gives you similar control over your selling prices.
- Does the buylist change our existing Shopify store?
- No. Accepted cards move into the inventory you already sell from. Your products, theme, domain and checkout remain unchanged.
- How much does the buylist cost?
- The Buylist module is £35 per month, added to Card Companion at £49 per month plus 3.6% on eligible sales.
More buylist questions
- Can we test our buylist rules first?
- Yes. Run your rules against a sample submission before they go live, so you can spot an offer that is too high or too low before a customer sees it.
- Do we have to accept every card?
- No. Your team chooses which cards to accept and can adjust or decline the rest during review. Only accepted cards move into inventory.
- How does the customer receive the final offer?
- You can send an email with the order number, approved amount and payment method, so the customer knows exactly what your team has accepted.
- Can accepted cards be added to Shopify inventory?
- Yes. Once the submission is approved, accepted cards can move into your inventory workflow with the condition, language and finish confirmed by your team.
