Sell and price Riftbound cards on Shopify

On the shelf

What Riftbound shops sell

Riftbound decks are built around a Champion Legend, so the Champions and Legends of popular League of Legends characters are the cards players ask for first, along with Epics and Showcase versions such as alternate arts. Runes move as bulk. For a new game, singles let players finish decks without buying box after box, which keeps them coming back to your store.

• Booster boxes

  The display of each set's packs, the main sealed sale.

• Champion Decks

  Ready-to-play decks built around one champion.

• Starter products

  Boxes like Proving Grounds that teach the game to new players.

• Packs

  Single packs from an opened display, sold at the counter.

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 Riftbound printings, foils and versions work

Riftbound packs mix regular and foil cards, with every Rare and Epic printed as foil, plus Showcase cards: alternate arts, overnumbered and signed versions. TCGplayer tracks a foil and a non-foil copy as separate printings, and lists Showcase versions as their own entries. In Synq each one is its own Shopify product, priced from its own market.

Because the game is new, some cards and conditions have only a thin sales history, and a played condition may have no market price of its own. A Synq rule can price played copies from Near Mint's market less a percent, and when a card has no market price at all, Synq asks you to set your price when you add it.

Conditions

How condition pricing works for Riftbound cards

Every Riftbound 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 Epic, condition by condition

Say a foil Epic has a Near Mint market price of $16.00. Your Riftbound 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 Riftbound cards with Shopify POS

With the Shopify POS app installed, Synq can add new Riftbound 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 Riftbound 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.

If you list Riftbound on TCGplayer, its export comes in as exact SKUs. If you started on a spreadsheet at launch, a name and quantity are enough; add a Printing column so foils go to the right product. Each import takes up to 5,000 products.
