Cardex
Built for card-show vendors

Turn your card table into a shoppable QR code.

Cardex lets card-show vendors publish a live, searchable view of their table, so the boxes underneath it can sell too. Buyers scan, browse, and find the card they came for. No app, no login.

Every card above is a real printing from the catalog Cardex builds your inventory from. Yours is in a box behind the table right now, not selling.

the bottleneck

You brought thousands. They can see a couple of hundred.

The table is the fraction that fits. Everything else is in a box behind you, and the only way anyone finds out what is in it is to ask you, one at a time.

on the tablein the boxes behind youillustrative
  1. They never know you had it

    The buyer hunting the exact card sitting in your third box asks, hears “let me look”, and moves on before you find it.

  2. One conversation at a time

    While you dig, the three people behind them are looking at somebody else's table. You cannot answer them and you cannot see them leave.

  3. The box goes home full

    Whatever nobody thought to ask about comes back out to the car, and you pay for the table again next month to not sell it again.

what your buyer does

What happens when someone walks up.

Your buyer is on a phone, in a loud hall, hunting one card. Cardex gets them to it without costing you a minute of selling time.

  1. They scan

    A code on your table, opened by a phone camera. Nothing to install and no account to make, which is the only reason a stranger in a loud hall will bother.

    They search

    By name, set, rarity, card type, condition, language, graded or raw, and price. Every card you brought is in reach, not just the ones that fit.

    They buy

    They already know the card, the condition and what you are asking. The conversation starts at the sale instead of at the question.

what you see

Your side of the table.

One page that answers what your inventory is worth and what still needs doing, and one table where you price, hide and reprice it.

Every warning on the overview links straight to the filtered list that fixes it, because a count you cannot act on is half a feature. Anything you hide stops appearing to buyers straight away, and anything you list starts selling on the next scan.

what you get

Everything it takes to run the table.

Cardex works around the show you already run. It is not a marketplace, it does not take a cut, and it does not put another checkout between you and your buyer.

Get it in

before the show

EN + JA

Search the catalog

Pokémon English and Japanese, kept in sync from TCGplayer. Filter by set, rarity or card type and add with a market price already attached, or add something the catalog does not have by hand.

Import an export

Drop a TCGplayer CSV and Cardex shows you exactly which rows will land and which were skipped, and why, before a single one is written.

Put it out

on the table

/your-handle

A storefront that is yours

Pick a handle and your shop lives at that address for as long as you keep it. Add your logo and the contact links you want buyers to reach you on.

A QR code built for print

Dot and corner shapes, five print-safe colors, your logo in the middle, downloaded at print resolution. The code stays the same while the inventory behind it changes.

Keep it right

all show, and after

on your phone

Run it from the table

Change price, quantity, visibility and status mid-show. Reprice a whole selection to market in one go. Anything you hide stops appearing to buyers straight away.

before you open

Know where you stand

What the inventory is worth and how far above or below market you have it priced, how much sits in each price band, and what still needs attention: items hidden from the shop, stock that has sat over 90 days, a storefront still switched off.

pricing

One plan, and no cut of your sales.

Cardex never touches the transaction, so there is nothing for it to take a percentage of. The price is the same whether you bring one box or twenty.

who it is for

Is this you?

Cardex earns its place if the thing standing between you and more sales is that buyers cannot see what you brought.

Cardex is for you if

  • You bring far more cards than the table can physically hold.
  • You spend the show answering “do you have…” instead of closing sales.
  • Your dollar box never gets dug through, because nobody knows what is in it.
  • You carry slabs and high-end raw that only sell when the right buyer sees them.
  • You lose the people waiting behind whoever you are currently helping.

Skip it if

  • Everything you own already fits on the table in front of you.
  • You bring one case to a show and it sells itself.
  • You do not work show floors, and buyers only ever find you online.

A table a buyer can take in at a glance is already doing the job. We would rather you kept your fifty dollars.

Sell more of what you already own.

Set it up once at home, print the code, and let every buyer who walks past shop the whole box at the same time.
