Which trading card games are supported?

Synq supports Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Pokémon TCG Japan, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Flesh and Blood, Riftbound, Sorcery: Contested Realm, Digimon, Grand Archive, and the Gundam Card Game, all with TCGPlayer market pricing. We add games by demand, so let us know what you need.

How does automatic price syncing work?

Synq checks TCGPlayer market prices once a day. Your dashboard shows which listings have drifted from the market, and you can apply updates with one click on any plan. On the Pro and Scale plans, Synq can apply them automatically at an hour you choose.

Can I use my own prices instead of market prices?

Yes, you are always in control. Price at market, at market plus a percentage, or at market minus a percentage, set a specific price for any listing when you add it, or add store-wide floor and ceiling rules to protect your margins.

How does condition-based pricing work?

When you add a card, Synq creates a Shopify variant for each condition you stock (NM, LP, MP, HP, DMG), each with its own price and stock. Each condition uses a sensible default percentage adjustment that you can change in settings.

Does Synq change my existing Shopify products?

No. Synq only manages products you create through the app, and it does not scan, import, or remap your existing listings. To have Synq manage an existing product, recreate it through the app.

How many cards can I manage?

Starter handles up to 2,000 cards, Pro up to 15,000, and Scale up to 50,000. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial so you can see the value before you commit.

Can I use it across multiple stores?

Yes. Each Shopify store gets its own Synq installation with independent settings, which is great if you run separate stores for different games or regions.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancel any time from your Shopify admin under Apps, then Synq. Your products stay in Shopify and price syncing simply stops. There are no cancellation fees.

Does Synq publish products automatically?

You choose. With auto-publish on, new products are set to active and go live on your selected sales channels. With it off, products are created as drafts so you can review them before publishing.

Which sales channels will my products appear on?

The default sales channels you select in Synq under Settings, then Publishing, such as Online Store and POS. New products are published to those channels when created.

Do trading card products need a GTIN for Google Shopping?

Sealed product like booster boxes usually has a UPC or GTIN, and providing it improves eligibility in Google Shopping. Synq can write the catalog UPC or GTIN to the product barcode for sealed items via the template's barcode option.

Do single cards have a barcode?

No. Individual cards do not have a UPC or GTIN, so the barcode option applies only to sealed product. For singles, focus on a product category, a clear title, and a unique description.

Control where Synq publishes card products and reach Google Shopping

Publishing settings decide where new products appear and whether they go live the moment Synq creates them. You can ship cards to your store instantly, or hold them as drafts for a quick review first. The same settings control how sealed products reach Google Shopping.

Auto-publish: live or draft

Auto-publish controls the status Synq gives a new product:

On: products are created active and go live on your selected channels immediately.
Off: products are created as drafts, so you can review and publish them yourself.

Turn it off if you like to check listings before they are visible. Turn it on if you trust your product templates and want speed. These settings apply to products created through adding products to your store.

Choosing default sales channels

Pick the default sales channels that new products should publish to, such as Online Store and POS. When Synq creates a product, it publishes the product to those channels. If auto-publish is off, the product is held as a draft and is not visible on any channel until you publish it.

Where to set this

In Synq, go to Settings, then Publishing. There you will find:

The auto-publish toggle (active versus draft).
The default sales channels selection (Online Store, POS, and any other channels you have on Shopify).

Set these once and every new product follows them.

Getting sealed products into Google Shopping

Google Shopping rewards products it can clearly identify. For sealed trading card product, that means a GTIN (the global trade item number behind a UPC barcode), plus a clear product category and title. A GTIN lets Google match your product to a known item, which improves eligibility and how well sealed products perform in Shopping. Most sealed trading card product, such as booster boxes, has one.

To provide it, open your product template and turn on the Barcode (UPC/GTIN) option. For sealed products, Synq writes the catalog's UPC or GTIN to the product's barcode in Shopify. This option appears only for templates that cover sealed products.

Singles and barcodes

Single cards do not have a UPC or GTIN, so the barcode option does not apply to them and you cannot expect a barcode on a single. Instead, help Google identify singles with:

A product category, set from your template, so Google understands the item type.
A clear title and a unique description. See storefront formatting and theme issues if listings look off once they are live.

Google Shopping checklist

Sealed: the Barcode (UPC/GTIN) option turned on in the template.
A product category set in the template.
Descriptive titles and unique descriptions.

Set these once in your product template and every matching product follows them. If a product does not appear where you expect, see prices or products not updating.
