Everything a card shop
needs to operate.

Not a generic POS with a TCG plugin bolted on. Built from the ground up for the specific workflow of running a card shop.

Point of Sale

A POS built for the counter. Inventory is reserved the moment a sale opens. Process cash, card, Stripe, or Toast. Print or email receipts. Close transactions fast.

Card Scanning

Point a camera at a card. Auto-detect finds the edges, perspective-warps the image, and runs a dual-engine OCR pass while a visual fingerprint matches against an 82,000-card index. You confirm condition and price; the rest is identified in seconds.

Inventory Management

Track quantity, condition, price, and channel status for every card in your shop. Real-time updates across sales. No spreadsheet needed.

Auto-Publishing

Set price thresholds once. Cards that meet your rules go live on your storefront and queue for eBay automatically. No manual listing required.

Staff Management

Owner, manager, and cashier roles with permission gates that match how real shops run. Staff ring sales. Managers handle refunds. Owners control settings.

Full Audit Trail

Every sale, refund, void, and status change recorded with who did it and when. Full transaction history with inline refund and void controls for managers.

Three things. Done.

The entire workflow from intake to sale to channel, without jumping between apps.

1
Scan the card

Cards come in, you scan them. The camera reads the name and set. You add condition and price. Done in seconds.

2
Rules publish it

Your policy rules run automatically. If the card hits your threshold, it appears on your storefront and queues for eBay without you touching it.

3
Sell from the counter

Open a sale, find the item, take payment. Inventory adjusts in real time. Receipt prints or sends. The loop closes itself.

Built for the counter, not the back office.

Most retail POS systems were designed for general merchandise. CHIcards is designed for a shop where the person behind the counter knows the difference between a LP and a MP, and needs to ring out a trade-in and a sale at the same time.

  • Inventory reserved the moment a sale opens, so nothing oversells during peak hours
  • Cash, Stripe, Toast, and manual payment all flow through the same transaction record
  • Tax configured per region, with quick-fill presets for Illinois and Chicago rates
  • Print or email receipts from any sale. Full refund and void controls for managers
  • Every transaction logged with timestamp, actor, and reason for complete auditability

Set the rules once.
Cards list themselves.

You decide the thresholds. Cards valued over your website floor go live on your storefront. Cards over your eBay floor queue for review and listing. When a card sells, the listing closes. No manual updates.
