Amazon integration

Amazon is a secondary channel for most card shops rather than a primary one — its category structure and fee model favour sealed product over singles. TCG Sync supports Amazon sellers on the inventory and fulfilment side through an assisted CSV/spreadsheet workflow: your TCG Sync catalogue is the source, listings are prepared by export, and orders are reconciled back into one pipeline. It is not a live automatic connection today; Selling Partner API sync is on the roadmap.

Operations

How Amazon fits into one inventory source

Amazon is currently an assisted workflow: listings are exported from the same stock ledger and orders are reconciled back into it. It does not run as a live, fully automatic connection; direct API sync is on the roadmap.

One stock ledger

Storefront, POS, buylist, and marketplace listings all draw from the same inventory record. Amazon listings are exported from that record and its sales are reconciled back into it, so Amazon stock is updated each time the workflow runs, not automatically.

Channel-specific rules

Your own storefront can hold margin while marketplace listings compete more aggressively. Pricing rules can reflect fees, shipping expectations, condition, language, and how quickly you want a particular catalogue to move.

Order reconciliation

Orders from this channel are brought into the same fulfilment queue as online and in-store sales through import and reconciliation, so staff pick, pack, and report from one place.

Exception handling

Missing SKUs and price-rule conflicts are visible in the admin dashboard. Because this channel is not synced live, run the export and reconciliation regularly so stock stays aligned.

Limitations

What it doesn't do

We'd rather tell you the limits before you start than have you discover them after onboarding.

  • Direct Amazon SP-API sync is on roadmap
  • Singles rarely make commercial sense on Amazon — most shops list sealed and supplies only
  • Amazon's category and brand-registry rules apply; compliance is the seller's responsibility
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Should I sell singles on Amazon?
For most card shops, no. Amazon's category structure and referral fees don't fit TCG singles well. Reserve Amazon for sealed product, booster boxes, and accessories — list singles on CardNexus, Cardmarket, eBay, and TCGplayer instead.
Is direct Amazon API sync available?
Not yet. Current support is an assisted CSV / spreadsheet workflow. Direct SP-API sync is on the roadmap as part of ongoing marketplace expansion, with no date set.
Does this work with FBA?
FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) is supported from a workflow perspective — you ship product to Amazon's warehouse, Amazon fulfils. Stock consumed from FBA is reflected in TCG Sync via reconciliation.
Is Amazon support included in Storefront Pro?
Yes. Listing preparation and order reconciliation for Amazon are covered by Enterprise (from $2,499 USD/month) and Storefront Pro ($1,000 USD setup + 2% of TCG singles and sealed sales).
