Sell and price Digimon Card Game cards on Shopify

On the shelf

What Digimon shops sell

Digimon players build decks around evolution lines, from Digi-Eggs up to Mega level Digimon, so shops sell full lines of a color as well as the Secret Rares and alternate arts collectors want. Reprints in later sets and starter decks keep many playable cards affordable.

• Booster boxes

  BT and EX displays for each release.

• Starter decks

  ST decks around one color or character.

• Advanced decks and special sets

  Higher-power decks and collector releases.

In Synq, singles and sealed live apart. A single is one Shopify product per card and printing, with a variant for each condition. A sealed product is one product with a single Unopened variant. Each game can send its singles and its sealed product to their own Shopify collections.

Printings and versions

How Digimon printings, foils and versions work

Digimon cards carry a card number like BT1-001 and a rarity such as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare or Secret Rare. Many cards also have alternate art versions with the same number, which TCGplayer usually lists as their own entries with their own price.

In Synq each version is its own Shopify product, so a regular card and its alternate art never share a price. Pick the one on your shelf from its photo when you add it.

Conditions

How condition pricing works for Digimon cards

Every Digimon single can carry five conditions, each its own Shopify variant with its own price and stock. Sealed product has one, Unopened. Your price rule prices each condition in one of two ways.

• Each condition's market price

  The default. Each condition follows its own TCGplayer market price. A played condition with no market price of its own uses Near Mint's, less the percent you set for it.

• Near Mint's, less a percent

  Every condition is priced from Near Mint's market price, less its own percent. Useful where played copies rarely sell.

A worked example

Pricing an alternate art Secret Rare, condition by condition

Say an alternate art Secret Rare has a Near Mint market price of $25.00. Your Digimon rule uses "Near Mint's, less a percent" with the default percents, modifies it by +5%, and rounds up to x.99. Here is what each condition would list at.

Example numbers in US dollars, not live prices. Synq converts market prices to your store's currency and rounds in that currency.

A rule can also set a minimum, a fixed amount or your cost plus a margin, so no condition lists below it. Before anything changes on Shopify, the rule's preview shows the original and updated price of every product and condition.

At the counter

Ring up Digimon cards with Shopify POS

With the Shopify POS app installed, Synq can add new Digimon products to Point of Sale with scannable barcodes. Each single gets its own code per condition, so scanning a Lightly Played copy rings up the Lightly Played price, and sealed product gets the box UPC from the catalog, or a Synq code when there isn't one. Synq doesn't print labels; Shopify's free Retail Barcode Labels app does, if you skip its option to create barcodes.

Moving in

Bring the Digimon cards you already have

A TCGplayer export is recognized on upload and read as exact SKUs, so card, printing and condition match. Your own CSV can have any columns; Synq matches each row by TCGplayer SKU, TCGplayer ID, barcode or name, and you review the matches before anything is created. Products already in Shopify can be linked one at a time, and Synq takes over their price and stock from the next rule run.

A TCGplayer export comes in as exact SKUs. From your own sheet, include a card number column so rows are easier to check in Review, and pick between regular and alternate art when a number fits both. Each import takes up to 5,000 products.
