Storepass alternative in 2026: TCG Sync vs Storepass

Store running on TCG Sync

OMG Games runs on TCG Sync: a live card-store catalogue with buylist, credit, deckbuilder, events, and checkout workflows.

Bottom line

Both work. The differences are scope and cost structure.

Storepass handles the card-shop fundamentals well — inventory, POS, buylist basics. TCG Sync adds a deckbuilder, live auctions, and a wider set of marketplace connectors. Whether that's worth switching for depends on your workflows and what you'd pay on each platform. For a store paying a fixed Storepass fee, the like-for-like option is TCG Sync Enterprise: a fixed monthly fee with no sales percentage.

Storepass alternative guide

What Storepass shops usually want to know before switching

Common questions about workflows, replacement, migration, and cost. Worth reading before you decide.

Storepass alternative for card shops

Stores looking at Storepass alternatives in 2026 are usually weighing two things: feature depth and total cost. TCG Sync covers the same core areas — storefront, POS, buylist, events, autopricing, marketplace sync — and adds a deckbuilder, live auctions, and live streaming that Storepass doesn't offer natively.

Storepass replacement for Shopify card shops

Storepass runs on top of Shopify — store credit is Shopify store credit. TCG Sync also currently requires Shopify, so switching keeps your Shopify store in place (not on Shopify? we can set it up for you); what changes is the tooling around it and how it is billed.

Migrate from Storepass without losing retail data

A Storepass migration means moving condition-aware inventory, customer accounts, buylist history, and order history. TCG Sync handles the migration end-to-end during onboarding.

Where Storepass wins

Honest points in Storepass's favour

If your shop would be better served by Storepass, we'd rather you find out here before onboarding. These are the points where they genuinely outperform us.

Focused feature set

Storepass does fewer things — some shops prefer that. Less to learn, fewer moving parts.

Established customer base

A stable platform with existing customers in its core areas, so staff and peers may already know it.

Where TCG Sync differs

What TCG Sync covers that Storepass handles differently

Structural differences to check against your own workflows, invoices, and integration needs.

Customer-facing depth

Deckbuilder, live auctions, live streaming — none of these are native to Storepass. All included in TCG Sync.

More marketplace connectors

Cardtrader and Mana Pool connections, plus CardSynced pricing data and supported listings, matter for European and indie-marketplace coverage.

Bundled storefront theme

The redesigned Storefront Pro theme is included on Enterprise and Storefront Pro.

Pricing

Price: Enterprise or Storefront Pro vs Storepass subscription

Storepass Enterprise and TCG Sync Enterprise are both fixed monthly fees, so that is the comparison most Storepass stores should start with. Storefront Pro's setup-plus-percentage model suits smaller shops. Enterprise saves money once you're well over $1 million a year — the crossover is about $1.5M of TCG singles and sealed sales — so compare against your current invoices.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does Storepass migration take?
We aim to onboard typical stores within 48 hours of kickoff, once scope is confirmed. Inventory, customers, buylist history, and order history all import.
Does Storepass's Shopify integration work similarly to TCG Sync's?
Both run with Shopify, and TCG Sync currently requires it. The differences are in the tools around Shopify — deckbuilder, live auctions, marketplace connectors — and how each is billed.
How does TCG Sync pricing compare with a Storepass subscription?
For a store on a fixed Storepass fee, Enterprise is the closest match: from $2,499 USD/month with no separate setup fee and no sales percentage. Smaller shops can take Storefront Pro instead — $1,000 USD one-time setup plus 2% of TCG singles and sealed sales, with nothing on accessories, comics, supplies, or event income. Which works out lower depends on your eligible sales, so compare against your current invoices.
How do you move us off Storepass without closing the shop?
Migration runs in parallel, so Storepass keeps taking orders while we import inventory with conditions, customer accounts, buylist history, and order history. Staff review a sample of products and orders before anything switches, and we reconcile after the first trading day. Migration is included in every package — Enterprise, Storefront Pro and Custom.
