Sell and price Weiss Schwarz cards on Shopify

On the shelf

What Weiss Schwarz shops sell

Weiss Schwarz decks are usually built from one series, so shops stock by series and sell playable cards to players and high rarities, such as signed SP cards and other special rarities, to fans of each title.

• Booster boxes

  One series per set.

• Trial decks

  A ready deck for one series.

• 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 Weiss Schwarz printings, foils and versions work

Each Weiss Schwarz card number carries its series and set code. The same character often appears at several rarities, from Common up to special and signed rarities, each listed apart. TCGplayer gives each its own market price, so each becomes its own Shopify product in Synq.

High-rarity versions can sell for many times the regular card. Since Synq prices each from its own market, a signed version never sells at the price of its regular copy.

Conditions

How condition pricing works for Weiss Schwarz cards

Every Weiss Schwarz 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 SP signed card, condition by condition

Say an SP signed card has a Near Mint market price of $45.00. Your Weiss Schwarz rule uses "Near Mint's, less a percent" with the default percents, keeps the market price (Modify by 0%), 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 Weiss Schwarz cards with Shopify POS

With the Shopify POS app installed, Synq can add new Weiss Schwarz 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 Weiss Schwarz 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 card number column is the clearest way to check each row in Review. Each import takes up to 5,000 products.
