Price-check mode
Customers can search a card and see the retail or buylist view your store enables for that kiosk workflow.
Kiosk
In-store kiosk units for card shops
A kiosk is a customer-facing screen in your shop. Customers can price-check cards, start a buylist submission, look up a deck, or sign into an event while staff keep the till moving.
- Customer-facing price check, buylist, deck lookup, and event sign-in
- Buylist queue flows into staff verification at the till
- Runs on shop hardware selected during onboarding
- Scanner and printer choices are planned before hardware is purchased
- Staff approval stays in the buylist flow
- Designed for Friday-night queues and pre-release traffic
A TCG Sync kiosk is a customer-facing tablet or desktop screen for price checks, self-serve buylist submissions, deck lookup, and event sign-in. Kiosk buylist submissions queue for staff verification before any payout — customers start the task, staff still control the money.
Self-serve, staff-controlled
Customers start the task. Staff still verify the money.
A kiosk should shorten the queue, not hand out unchecked payouts. TCG Sync keeps kiosk buylist activity tied to staff verification, condition checks, and till payout.
Buylist kiosk flow
Customer scans or types cards, sees a live cash and credit offer, submits the stack, and creates a staff review queue for condition verification.
Deck lookup
A player can paste or search a decklist, then turn wanted cards into a cart or staff pull sheet where enabled.
Event sign-in
Players can check into FNM, pre-release, league, or other events without blocking the retail till.
Hardware honesty
Start with ordinary shop hardware: a modern tablet or desktop browser. Scanner, printer, and stand choices should be checked during onboarding before you buy equipment.
Queue pressure relief
During Friday Night Magic, the kiosk handles lookups and intake starts while staff keep selling sleeves, entries, drinks, and sealed.
Buylist flow
The customer starts. Staff finish.
A kiosk can make intake calmer without letting unverified cards become paid inventory.
- Customer scans or types the cards they want to sell.
- TCG Sync shows the configured cash and credit offer.
- The submission queues for staff verification.
- Staff checks condition and quantity at the till.
- Payout happens as cash or store credit according to your rules.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What hardware do I need?
- A modern tablet or desktop browser is the intended baseline. Confirm scanner, receipt-printer, and stand choices during onboarding before buying hardware.
- Can customers see market price as well as my price?
- Yes. The kiosk shows the retail or buylist price view your store enables for that kiosk mode.
- Can I require staff approval on every kiosk buy?
- Yes. Customer submissions stay separate from paid inventory until staff verify condition, quantity, and payout.
- What happens offline?
- Treat kiosk as online-first. If the connection drops, staff can fall back to the POS and normal counter workflow.
- Can kiosk submissions pay store credit?
- Yes. Once staff verify and approve the submission, TCG Sync adds the credit in Shopify and to the customer's balance, the same as any other buylist trade-in.
- Can I run more than one kiosk?
- Yes. Device count and hardware layout are part of onboarding, so the kiosk plan matches your counter, event space, and queue pressure.
