Sell and price Final Fantasy TCG cards on Shopify

On the shelf

What Final Fantasy TCG shops sell

FFTCG players build decks from the game's elements, with Forwards, Backups and Summons from across the Final Fantasy series. Shops sell Legend and Hero rarity cards to players, and foils and full arts to collectors.

• Booster boxes

  The display for each Opus or named set.

• Starter sets

  Ready decks themed on one Final Fantasy game.

• Packs

  Single packs from an opened display.

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 Final Fantasy TCG printings, foils and versions work

FFTCG card numbers combine the set, the card and its rarity letter, where the closing letter is the rarity, such as H for Hero or L for Legend. Cards come in normal and foil copies, and TCGplayer tracks a price for each. In Synq each card and printing is its own Shopify product.

One thing to watch: Magic: The Gathering also has a Final Fantasy set. Those cards are Magic cards and live under Magic in Synq. The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game is its own game with its own catalog, so the two never get mixed up.

Conditions

How condition pricing works for Final Fantasy TCG cards

Every Final Fantasy TCG 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 a foil Legend, condition by condition

Say a foil Legend has a Near Mint market price of $10.00. Your Final Fantasy TCG 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 Final Fantasy TCG cards with Shopify POS

With the Shopify POS app installed, Synq can add new Final Fantasy TCG 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 Final Fantasy TCG 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, a Game column helps keep FFTCG rows apart from Magic's Final Fantasy set, and in Review you pick the right card whenever a name fits more than one. Each import takes up to 5,000 products.
