Sell and price Star Wars: Unlimited cards on Shopify

On the shelf

What Star Wars: Unlimited shops sell

Star Wars: Unlimited decks are built around a Leader and a Base, so Leaders and the playable units of each aspect are what players ask for. Collectors chase Hyperspace versions, foils and Showcase Leaders. One card name can exist in four or more versions at very different prices.

• Booster boxes

  The display for each set.

• Two-Player Starters

  A ready way into the game for two players.

• Prerelease kits

  Sold around each release for prerelease events.

• 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 Star Wars: Unlimited printings, foils and versions work

A Star Wars: Unlimited card can come as a normal copy, a foil, a Hyperspace version with full-bleed art, a Hyperspace foil, and for Leaders a Showcase version. TCGplayer lists Hyperspace and Showcase as their own entries, with their own printings and market price.

In Synq each card and printing is its own Shopify product, so a Showcase Leader is never priced from its normal copy, and each condition is its own variant with its own stock.

Conditions

How condition pricing works for Star Wars: Unlimited cards

Every Star Wars: Unlimited 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 Hyperspace foil Leader, condition by condition

Say a Hyperspace foil Leader has a Near Mint market price of $28.00. Your Star Wars: Unlimited 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 Star Wars: Unlimited cards with Shopify POS

With the Shopify POS app installed, Synq can add new Star Wars: Unlimited 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 Star Wars: Unlimited 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, version included. From your own sheet, a name alone fits several versions of a card, so add a Printing or TCGplayer ID column when you can, or pick the version in Review. Each import takes up to 5,000 products.
