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 buy rates and store-credit bonuses for each game, so your Magic buylist can work differently from your Pokémon buylist.

Does the buylist change our existing Shopify store?

Your buylist works with your existing Shopify store. You keep your theme, domain and checkout, and accepted cards join the stock you already sell from.

How much does the buylist cost?

Buylist is an optional module at £35 GBP extra per month. Card Companion costs £49 GBP per month plus a percentage-based fee on eligible sales.

Can we test our buylist rules first?

Yes. Try your rules on a sample submission to see the offers they produce before customers use them.

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 email the customer with the submission number, approved amount and payment method, so they know what you’ve agreed.

Can accepted cards be added to Shopify inventory?

Yes. After reviewing the submission, your team can add accepted cards to Shopify stock with their condition, language and finish confirmed.
