The problem we needed to solve.
Trading cards create an ecommerce problem that generic store templates do not handle particularly well: many individual cards, with different sets, numbers, rarities, languages, conditions and grading. The store needed to help collectors find the exact card they wanted while also giving the business practical tools to manage a constantly changing catalogue.
Helping collectors find cards and the business manage stock.
Here is what the work covered.
Search and filters for names, sets, numbers, language, condition, rarity, finish, grading and price.
Basket logic and clear discount tiers encourage collectors to combine eligible singles without manual calculation.
Clear condition information, real stock, secure checkout and straightforward product details throughout the buying journey.
Tools for products, stock, orders and fulfilment that suit an independent card seller.
Faster product discovery
Collectors can search the catalogue the way collectors think, rather than scrolling generic categories.
A stronger independent channel
The business has a direct storefront that can complement marketplace sales and build its own customer relationship.
Operations that match the stock
The admin area handles individual cards and frequent catalogue changes instead of forcing a standard retail workflow.
Support continues after launch.
Professor Cards is the kind of ecommerce project that benefits from constant iteration: search improvements, promotions, stock workflows, order tools, email, performance and new ways to make the catalogue easier to shop.
