How to run your shop

Set up your shop

Your shop is your selling identity, kept completely separate from any collection you track personally. In Settings, set the basics that drive pricing across the app: your default buylist percentage (what you pay as a fraction of market when buying in), and your serialize value floor (cards at or above this value get individually tracked with a QR — more on that below).

Print some QR labels

Premium single cards are tracked individually — each one gets a QR sticker on its toploader so you can scan it to sell. Print a sheet of blank QR labels now so you have them ready when you allocate stock. They print onto a 30mm square / 48-per-sheet sticker sheet.

Bring stock in

Everything you acquire — bought, traded, or from a supplier — enters Intake first. Intake stock is "unallocated": it is not graded, priced, or on sale yet. This is deliberate: nothing becomes sellable by accident. Add cards by catalogue search, bulk paste, or by recording a buy/trade as a Deal.

• Search the catalogue and add a card with its quantity and what it cost you.
• Or paste a list of cards to add in bulk.
• Buys and trades recorded as Deals also land in Intake.

Allocate it to make it sellable

Allocation is the moment stock becomes sellable. From Intake, hit Allocate on a card: grade its condition, then choose ONE channel — Shop, a Show, or eBay. A card lives on exactly one channel at a time.

• Premium singles (Double Rare and up, or above your value floor) going to a physical channel (Shop or a Show) MUST be QR-tagged — scan a printed label and it binds to that exact card.
• Bulk cards (commons / uncommons) allocate without a QR.
• eBay-bound cards need no QR — they ship out — and hand off to the eBay listing flow.

Sell across your channels

Where a card sells depends on the channel you allocated it to. The shop window lists it in the in-app marketplace; eBay publishes a real listing on your own eBay account; a Show holds it for in-person POS selling on the show floor.

• Shop: collectors browse and contact you to buy.
• eBay: connect your account once, then draft → publish → mark sold.
• Shows: create the event, allocate stock to it, then scan-and-sell from the same web app (you need a connection at the table).

Record the money and review

Every sale, purchase, and trade is recorded as a Deal, so your margin and cash flow stay honest. The Transactions ledger and dashboard show how you are doing, and the weekly Intent Report flags which stock to hold, trim, or sell.
