Getting started

From install to your first buy in four steps.

1. Pick a plan

After installing from the Shopify App Store, the plan picker is the first screen. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with Shop-tier features unlocked, so you can feel the whole workflow before choosing.

2. Sync your Shopify snapshot

Card Vendor works from a snapshot of your store's products. Open Settings → Shopify sync. The first sync starts on its own when the snapshot is empty or stale, and pages that need a fresh snapshot show a banner that links you here.

Open Settings → Shopify sync.
Wait for the walk to finish. The counts update live.
Re-sync after big changes made outside Card Vendor.

The Shopify sync screen with cached counts and the last-synced time — Settings → Shopify sync: the snapshot every price screen reads.

3. Set your buy rates

Rates decide what you offer. Open Settings → Rates and set cash and trade percentages per intake type, flat or tiered by price so bulk commons and chase cards get different treatment.

The rates screen with cash and trade percentages per intake type — Settings → Rates: cash 0.66 / trade 0.83 means $66 cash or $83 trade on a $100 card.

4. Run your first intake

Open Intake. Opening it once also finishes setup. It records your store's vendor name, which other screens rely on.
Search a card, click a result to stage it, and adjust condition, printing, or quantity on the staged row.
Review the cash / trade / market totals, then Create in Shopify.

The intake screen with staged cards, offers, and totals — The counter flow: search, stage, create.

Products are created with the right variant for each condition and printing, price, cost, quantity, tags, and collection. Check the first few in Shopify admin to confirm your rate setup feels right.
