Point of Sale
Game store POS built for trading card and hobby shops
Ring up walk-in customers from the same system that powers your online store. One inventory, one order history, one dashboard. Built for singles, sealed, graded cards, supplies, and events — not repurposed from a generic retail POS.
- One inventory across online, in-store, and marketplaces
- Condition-based scanning at the counter
- Card recognition — point camera, add to cart
- Store credit & gift card balances
- Event registration & ticket redemption
- Split tenders, layaway, holds, and store credit combinations
Designed for card shops
The POS, storefront, and buylist share one brain
Generic POS systems don't understand conditions, sets, or trade-ins. Card-shop plugins on Shopify are glued-together half-solutions. Storefront Pro's POS is native — every online feature also works at the till.
Unified customer account
At the counter, pull up a customer's online orders, wishlist, store credit, and buylist history instantly.
Event check-in
Friday Night Magic attendee list available at the till. Sell entry at the counter, apply credit, print pairings.
Buylist at the till
Accept trade-ins in person with the same condition grading and payout flow as online buylist.
Offline mode
Keep selling when the internet drops. Transactions queue locally and sync when connection returns.
Hardware agnostic
Runs on any modern tablet or desktop. Works with standard barcode scanners, cash drawers, and receipt printers.
Why switch from Square or Shopify POS
Generic POS doesn't know what a Near Mint Foil is
Here's what a card-shop POS needs that generic retail POS can't do.
Condition-based variants at the counter
Scan the same card across NM, LP, MP, HP and sell the right variant in one tap. Shopify POS flattens this to a single SKU.
Graded card handling
PSA / BGS / CGC grades tracked with population data. Not a generic product variant.
Buylist at the till
Buy cards from walk-in customers with live market pricing. No other retail POS does this.
Event till flow
Run pre-release kits, league fees, and tournament entries from the same POS without a third-party booking app.
POS selection guide
How to choose a game store POS
A game-store till has to do more than take payment. Compare systems against the workflows that create the most operational risk: condition-aware stock, trade-ins, store credit, events, and channel inventory.
One inventory everywhere
Confirm that an in-store sale updates the online storefront and every connected marketplace without staff reconciling separate stock files.
Conditions and finishes
The POS should treat NM, LP, MP, HP, foil, language, and graded copies as operational variants rather than free-text notes.
Buylist and store credit
Compare the full trade-in flow: grading, cash or credit offers, approval, inventory intake, and spending credit at the till or online.
Events and busy shop-floor flow
Check registration, ticket sales, customer lookup, split tenders, and queue handling under a real Friday-night workload.
Hardware and offline resilience
Verify supported tablets, scanners, receipt printers, cash drawers, multiple terminals, and what still works when connectivity drops.
Migration and support
Ask how products, conditions, customers, credit balances, orders, redirects, and staff training are checked before cutover.
Built into the till
Two shop-floor workflows worth seeing next
The POS is not just a checkout screen. It is where store credit, trade-ins, kiosk queues, events, and customer accounts meet the person standing at the counter.
Store credit at the till
Issue credit from a buylist trade-in, see the customer's balance, split cash and credit payments, and keep outstanding credit visible as a liability report line.
In-store kiosk units
Let customers price-check, start buylist submissions, look up decklists, or sign into events while staff keep serving the Friday-night queue.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What hardware do I need?
- Any modern tablet (iPad, Android) or desktop browser works. Standard USB/Bluetooth barcode scanners, thermal receipt printers, and cash drawers are all supported.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. The POS queues transactions locally if connectivity drops and syncs automatically when it returns.
- Can I use multiple terminals?
- Yes. As many stations as you need, all sharing one inventory in real time. No per-terminal licensing.
- Is the POS included in Storefront Pro?
- Yes. The POS is included on every plan. Two standard pricing options: Storefront Pro at $1,000 USD setup + 2% only on TCG item sales (most stores), or Enterprise starting from $2,499 USD/month, with 0% sales fees. Custom packages are also available for tailored requirements.
- What should I compare when choosing a game store POS?
- Test inventory sharing across the till, storefront, and marketplaces; condition and finish handling; buylist and store credit; event check-in; hardware support; offline behaviour; data migration; and how the provider handles failed syncs. A short feature list is less useful than walking through those workflows end to end.
