For card shops
Know your stock. Stay on top of every sale.
Manage your card inventory, organise where stock is allocated and keep buying, selling and trade-ins together. The TCG OS gives card vendors one place to manage the daily work behind the business.
3 months free from the day you create your shop. Then £25/mo in the UK or $29/mo in the US. No card required to start.
Spend less of your day piecing the stock picture together.
When inventory, event stock and sales records live in different places, simple questions become hard work. What is available? What did it cost? Where is it being sold? Keep those answers close to the cards.
Follow a card from intake to sale.
Four steps, in the order the card moves through them.
Intake, before anything is sellable
Stock arriving from a purchase, trade or supplier lands unallocated and ungraded — on no channel at all. Nothing you buy becomes sellable by accident. Singles, sealed and accessories all carry a weighted-average cost, so margin is a fact rather than a memory.
Allocation, where you decide the channel
Grade the card, set an asking price and put it on one channel. Premium singles split into their own tracked unit with a QR label; the value floor that triggers that is yours to set.
Selling, wherever the card is
Record sales, buys and trade-ins against the stock they came from. A two-sided trade settles as one deal — cards both ways, cash balancing the difference — and lands in the same transaction ledger as everything else.
A ledger you can answer questions from
What is available, what it cost, where it is allocated and what it sold for, in one place. That is the point of the whole system: the questions stop needing a spreadsheet.
Every step is documented in full in the vendor guide, including allocation, QR labels, eBay sync and selling at shows.
Choose where each card is available.
A unit sits on exactly one channel at a time. Moving it to another channel reassigns it rather than copying it, which is what makes overselling impossible — a card allocated to a show cannot also be sold on eBay. A live eBay listing must be ended before its unit can be moved.
- Shop
- Your counter and your public shop window on The TCG OS, from one allocation.
- Card shows
- Stock grouped for a specific event, so what you take to the table is counted separately.
- eBay
- Published to your own connected eBay account; the listing holds the unit until it sells or ends.
Selling at a show runs in the same web app as the rest of your stock, so it needs a connection. Offline recording is built on the server side and waiting on the mobile app — until that ships, plan for signal at the table.
Help collectors discover your stock.
Publish your shop window so collectors can browse the cards you have available and contact you to arrange a purchase. Collectors browse a shop’s live stock and contact the shop to arrange the purchase. The sale itself happens directly between buyer and seller — there is no checkout, no payment and no order held on The TCG OS.
We are not going to promise you demand we cannot yet demonstrate. The shop window is a discovery surface today; it becomes worth more as collector traffic grows, and the collection tracking those collectors come for is what grows it.
Flat monthly fee. No per-sale commission.
Card shops run on thin margins, so the platform is a single flat monthly subscription — £25/mo in the UK, $29/mo in the US — not a cut of every sale. Sell more without paying more.
That is our fee, and only our fee. Payment providers, external marketplaces such as eBay, shipping and taxes charge what they charge, and we are not in a position to waive any of it. See included features, optional add-ons and fees
Try it with a manageable batch of stock.
- 1.Create your account and your shop — a name, a location, what you specialise in. Your public storefront address is derived from the name.
- 2.Submit it for review. We check every shop by hand, normally within one business day; vetting sellers before they can list is what lets a collector know who they are dealing with.
- 3.Add a small stock batch through Intake and review the records before you commit to more.
- 4.Allocate a few units to the channel that matters most to your business, and test that workflow end to end.
- 5.Record a sale, and check it against the transaction ledger.
Your free trial starts the moment you create your shop, so you can set up, bring stock in and try the workflow straight away. Approval is a separate step: it is what makes your shop window visible to collectors. Payment details are requested only if you choose to continue after the trial.

Vendor FAQ
- How many sales channels do I get, and can one card be on several?
- Three: shop, card shows, ebay. A unit sits on exactly one channel at a time. Moving it to another channel reassigns it rather than copying it, which is what makes overselling impossible — a card allocated to a show cannot also be sold on eBay. A live eBay listing must be ended before its unit can be moved.
- Can collectors buy from my shop on the platform?
- Collectors browse a shop’s live stock and contact the shop to arrange the purchase. The sale itself happens directly between buyer and seller — there is no checkout, no payment and no order held on The TCG OS. Allocating stock to the shop channel is what publishes it to your shop window, once your shop has been approved.
- Does it work offline at a card show?
- Not yet. Selling at a show runs in the same web app as the rest of your stock, so it needs a connection. Offline recording is built on the server side and waiting on the mobile app — until that ships, plan for signal at the table.
- How much does it cost, and do you take a commission?
- £25/mo in the UK or $29/mo in the US, set independently for each market rather than converted at an exchange rate. The TCG OS does not charge its own commission on what you sell. Fees from payment providers, external marketplaces such as eBay, shipping and taxes are separate and are not ours to waive.
- Is everything included in that price?
- Everything on this page is in the base tier. Intel, the market-analysis surface, is an optional add-on at £10/mo on top — never a paywall in front of your own inventory or selling. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
- When does the free trial start?
- Your free trial starts the moment you create your shop, so you can set up, bring stock in and try the workflow straight away. Approval is a separate step: it is what makes your shop window visible to collectors. It runs for 3 months, no card is taken to begin, and payment details are only requested if you choose to continue.
- What happens to my existing eBay listings?
- They stay yours and stay where they are — connecting your eBay account does not import or take over listings you already have. New listings you publish from inventory here are tracked, and their orders are matched back to the unit that sold. An order for a listing we did not create is simply not ours to settle.
- Can I cancel, and can I get my data out?
- Yes to both. Cancel at any time and keep access to the end of the period you have already paid for. Your inventory and transaction history remain yours.
