Buylist & Trade-ins

A buylist your customers will actually use

Customers sell cards back to you directly from your storefront. Retail and buylist prices are shown side by side on every product, and customers can buy and sell in the same cart and checkout — no spreadsheets, no separate buylist site, no third-party app.

  • Retail + buylist pricing on every product page
  • 1Cart mode — buy and sell in the same checkout
  • Condition-based pricing (NM / LP / MP / HP / DMG)
  • Store credit added for you once staff approve a trade-in
  • Cash or credit offers — your rules, your margins
  • Works across 70+ pre-loaded TCG catalogues

Why it works

Every detail of a real card-shop buylist — built in

Shopify has no concept of buying cards from customers. Competitors bolt a buylist on as a separate plugin or a separate website. TCG Sync has buylist as a first-class citizen of the storefront.

Condition-based buy prices

Set different buy prices per condition. Pay more for NM, less for HP. Offer cash or credit at different rates — fully configurable per catalogue.

Store credit without the admin

Staff approve the trade-in, then TCG Sync adds the credit in Shopify and to the customer's balance, ready for their next purchase.

Automatic repricing

Buylist prices auto-update against TCGplayer, Cardmarket, and CardSynced market data. Set margin rules and the engine handles the rest.

Staff approval workflow

Review submissions, accept or counter-offer, and post credit or payouts from the admin dashboard.

Bulk buylist submissions

Customers paste a decklist, import from MTGGoldfish, or upload a CSV. No one-card-at-a-time tedium.

Card scanner support

Combine with our camera-based card recognition to let customers scan stacks of cards straight into a buylist submission.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do customers need a separate buylist account?
No. Buylist, retail orders, store credit, and events all use the same customer account. One login, one history, one wallet.
Can I offer different prices for cash vs credit?
Yes. Set cash and credit rates independently per catalogue or per card. Credit payouts are typically 20-30% higher than cash.
How do customers send me the cards?
You configure the fulfilment flow: shipping, in-store drop-off, or both. The buylist order tracks condition, quantity, and payout method just like a regular order.
Does it integrate with my inventory?
Yes. Accepted buylist submissions flow straight into your inventory with conditions intact. No double-entry.
