Deepest TCGplayer integration
If TCGplayer is 80%+ of your business, their first-party tools have access to features and roadmap priority that third parties don't.
vs TCGplayer Pro
TCG Sync vs TCGplayer Pro
TCGplayer Pro is TCGplayer's own seller software. Storefront Pro is an independent platform for your storefront, POS, buylist, and supported marketplace channels, but it no longer offers TCGplayer syncing. If TCGplayer connectivity is mandatory, keep that workflow separate or use TCGplayer's first-party tools.
Live example
Store running on TCG Sync
OMG Games is the current public Storefront Pro example: a live card-store catalogue with buylist, credit, deckbuilder, events, and checkout workflows.
Bottom line
Choose based on channel fit as well as platform independence.
If you sell primarily on TCGplayer and require direct syncing, TCGplayer Pro has the clear channel advantage because TCG Sync no longer connects to that marketplace. Storefront Pro remains the broader independent commerce platform for direct sales, POS, buylist, events, and supported channels such as CardNexus, Cardmarket, eBay, Cardtrader, Mana Pool, CardSynced, and Shopify.

Where TCGplayer Pro wins
Honest points in TCGplayer Pro's favour
If your shop would be better served by TCGplayer Pro, we'd rather you find out here before onboarding. These are the points where they genuinely outperform us.
Single-vendor simplicity
One vendor for marketplace plus software is simpler to procure. You'd send one PO instead of two.
Where Storefront Pro wins
Where we genuinely out-cover TCGplayer Pro
Structural differences, not marketing spin — every point is verifiable. Read it before you start, so you know exactly what you'd be buying into.
Independence from the marketplace
TCGplayer takes a cut of singles sales. Your platform vendor also being TCGplayer creates an alignment issue — their incentive is to route you through their marketplace, not to help you build direct channels that bypass it.
CardNexus, Cardmarket, eBay, Cardtrader, Mana Pool, CardSynced
All native in Storefront Pro. TCGplayer Pro focuses on TCGplayer. If you sell internationally or across multiple marketplaces, Storefront Pro is the broader fit.
Full storefront + deckbuilder + live auctions + mobile apps
All native in Storefront Pro. None of these are TCGplayer Pro's focus.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- If I'm 80%+ on TCGplayer, does Storefront Pro still make sense?
- Only if you are comfortable keeping TCGplayer as a separate seller workflow. TCG Sync no longer connects to TCGplayer; Storefront Pro provides the independent storefront, POS, buylist, and its other supported marketplace channels.
- Does the 2% apply to TCGplayer sales?
- No. TCG Sync does not connect to or process TCGplayer sales. Any TCGplayer sales remain in your separate TCGplayer workflow and are subject to TCGplayer's own fees.
- How much does TCG Sync cost compared?
- Four options. Vendor-only is $19.99 USD/month for sellers who mainly vend at trade shows and need inventory, repricing, graded cards, and buylist tools. Storefront Pro is $1,000 USD one-time setup + 2% only on TCG item sales — Singles and Sealed, not the rest of your catalogue. New stores can start through the onboarding portal. Enterprise starts from $2,499 USD/month, with 0% sales fees and branded iOS & Android apps included. Enterprise also includes a dedicated support team, a direct line to the TCG Sync founders, and a VIP Discord server separate from the public community — none of which are part of standard Storefront Pro. Custom packages are scoped around tailored requirements; email omar@tcgsync.com to book a discovery call. No per-terminal licensing. Storefront Pro and Enterprise plug into your existing website if you don't want to switch storefronts. Email john@tcgsync.com to model 12-month total cost against your actual revenue.
- What does migration actually look like?
- Our team handles the migration end-to-end. Inventory with conditions, customer accounts, store credit balances, buylist history, and order history import during onboarding. Fully live within 48 hours after kickoff. Migration is included in the $1,000 USD setup — no surprise fees.
