Common Questions
How much does CardCore cost?
We're currently onboarding early partner stores for free. As the platform grows, pricing will be based on store size and features used.
What games do you support?
Seven games are live today: Star Wars: Unlimited, Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Riftbound, and Sorcery: Contested Realm. Because CardCore is game-agnostic, onboarding a new game is data and config - not a rebuild - so we can add the games your community plays.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. We handle all the setup and provide training. If you can use a web browser, you can use CardCore.
Can I import my existing inventory?
Yes. We support imports from spreadsheets and can work with data exports from most existing POS systems.
What if I don't have a physical store?
CardCore works for online sellers too. Check out the CardCore.gg Store in our directory for an example of how the platform works without a physical location.
Do my players need to create accounts?
Players sign in with their existing Discord account. One click, no new passwords. They get access to trading, collections, tournaments, and more.
