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 or locations?

Yes. As many stations as you need, all sharing one inventory, with no per-terminal licensing. Multiple locations are supported and included in the price.

How quickly does a till sale reach the website and marketplaces?

Updates sync via webhooks, usually within seconds — allow up to 15 minutes.

Is the POS included in Storefront Pro?

Yes. The POS is included in Enterprise and Storefront Pro. Enterprise starts from $2,499 USD/month with no TCG Sync percentage sales fee; Storefront Pro is $1,000 USD setup plus 2% of TCG singles and sealed sales across POS, Shopify and marketplaces — comics, board games, accessories, drinks, toys and other non-TCG items are excluded. Custom is scoped and priced around your 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.

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 add these as separate pieces. TCG Sync's POS is native — every online feature also works at the till.

Card-aware product search

Search by name, set, number, or scan barcode. Conditions, finishes, and language all handled natively.

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.

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.
