Live drops for card shops
Claim the drop.
TCG Drop runs live stock drops for trading card shops, so nobody has to queue outside from first light. Members claim from their phone the moment stock goes live, pay online or at the counter, and collect in store when it suits them.
Drop day
The queue is over.
Drop day used to mean a queue outside from first light and a phone that wouldn't stop. On TCG Drop, your members claim from their phone the moment stock goes live, and collect in store when it suits them.
Drop day, the old way
- A queue round the block from first light
- Phones and DMs going off all morning
- A spreadsheet of who wants what
- Hours in the queue, then sold out before you reach the front
- Regulars who work days missing out
Drop day on TCG Drop
- Members claim from their phone the moment stock goes live
- Live stock and countdowns on your page, so nobody needs to ring or DM
- Every claim in one dashboard, ready to scan at the counter
- Sold out? Members know in seconds, and stock can't oversell

Your storefront
Your shop. Your storefront.
Every shop gets its own page for drops, singles and pre-orders, with live stock that updates as members claim. Members can add it to their home screen like an app.
How a drop works
From drop to deck
How a drop plays out, from the first alert to the counter.
Get the call
Shops can announce each drop in their Discord as it goes live, and scheduled drops count down on the shop's storefront.
Claim it
Tap claim when the drop goes live. Your item is held for you straight away, and per-person limits keep it fair.
Pay your way
Pay by card online, or pay at the counter when you collect, depending on how your shop takes payment.
Collect
Show your collection code at the counter. The shop scans it, sees what you've claimed and hands it over.
For shops
Built for drop night
Everything a card shop needs to run fair, busy drops without the spreadsheet chaos.
Drops that hold up
Stock can't oversell, even when everyone hits claim at once, and per-person limits stop one buyer taking the lot.
Scheduled and announced
Set a go-live time and your storefront counts down to it. Connect your Discord and each drop is announced there as it opens.
Sealed and singles
Run sealed drops and pre-orders, and list singles with their condition and grade, all from one inventory.
Your community
Open your storefront to anyone or approve each member. Memberships can add early access, and your shop earns a share.
Paid into your Stripe
Online payments go straight to your own Stripe account, or take payment at the counter when buyers collect.
Counter-ready
Scan a buyer's code to see what they've claimed and paid for, then mark it collected.
Bulk import
Upload a CSV or Excel sheet, check the preview, and add or update hundreds of products in one go.
Know your numbers
Sales by month, drop performance and top collectors, with statements and Excel exports.
For collectors
Your claims, sorted
Every claim in one place
Your claims at every shop, what's paid and what's waiting to be collected.
One code, every shop
Your collection code works at every shop you buy from, so there's nothing to dig out of your emails.
Your shop, on your phone
Add your shop to your home screen and open it like an app.
Drop Rush
Kill time before a drop with your shop's arcade game, and climb its leaderboard.
