For shops

A good card shop.
A great place to belong.

The conversations at the counter. The familiar faces. The card somebody saved to show you. Good shops give collecting a place to happen.

We’re building ways to help you recognise the collectors who keep coming back—and make more informed decisions when a new release is in demand.

Become a Deckmates shop

Keep collecting local.

We want Deckmates to connect people with the shops that make their hobby better. Somewhere to discover cards, meet other collectors and feel welcome enough to come back.

The app should help those connections grow beyond a single visit.

Be discovered.

We’re building a place for participating shops within Deckmates, connecting local collectors with the wider community.

Give visits a connection.

Shop check-ins are part of the experience we’re building, bringing a physical visit into a collector’s Deckmates journey.

Collect towards something.

Shop-linked challenges can give your community a shared interest and a reason to keep the conversation going.

In the shop. In Deckmates.

A visit becomes part of the story.

The check-in concept is simple: a collector visits a participating shop and uses its QR check-in through Deckmates.

Alongside shop and community challenges, it’s a way to bring the local and online parts of collecting together.

We’ll explain availability and participation requirements as shops join. These features are being prepared for launch.

Your regulars. Your next release.

Know the collectors who keep coming back.

When a new release lands, demand alone doesn’t tell you who’s buying. Deckmates aims to help you recognise the collectors who regularly visit and take part in your shop community—giving you more context when deciding how to allocate limited stock.

Reward participation. Make releases fairer.

The aim is to help shops get more cards into their regular collectors’ hands and reduce opportunities for scalping.

Being a Deckmates shop should mean something.

A listing is only useful if collectors can trust the experience behind it. We want shops that treat people fairly and help make collecting welcoming.

Fair with collectors.

Responsible selling, fair behaviour and respect for different budgets and collecting styles.

Care for the community.

Appropriate conduct, respect for boundaries and support for safe, welcoming spaces.

Ready to take part.
