User guide
A step-by-step guide to installing the app, importing your catalog, setting up rules, running your first sync, and managing ongoing autopricing for your Shopify card store.
Sleeved is installed directly through the Shopify App Store. You'll need to be logged in to the Shopify admin for the store you want to connect.
Step 2
Sleeved requests permission to read and write your Shopify product catalog. This is required to import your existing inventory and update prices. No other store data is accessed.
Step 3
Shopify handles the OAuth handshake and redirects you to the Sleeved app inside your admin. You'll land on the welcome screen to begin setup.
Sleeved prices in USD — the same market data used by TCGPlayer. If your Shopify store's default currency is not USD, set up Shopify Markets before running your first sync: set your base currency to USD and enable local currency display for your region. Shopify will handle the conversion for your customers at checkout, while Sleeved writes accurate USD values. See the FAQ for more detail.
After install, you'll be shown the plan selection screen. The Free plan is pre-selected — you can continue on Free and upgrade at any time.
If you have more than 250 active singles SKUs, or you want scheduled auto-sync, choose Starter or above before continuing. Plan billing is handled through Shopify's billing system.
| Plan | Price | SKU limit | Auto-sync |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 / mo | 250 | Manual only |
| Starter | $29 / mo | 2,500 | Every 6 hours |
| Growth | $69 / mo | 15,000 | Faster cadence |
| Pro | $129 / mo | 50,000 | Fastest cadence |
Choose which TCGs you sell. Sleeved uses your selection to activate the right matching logic and pricing data feeds for your catalog. You can select multiple games.
Available at launch: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, One Piece Card Game.
You can update your game selection at any time from the Settings screen.
Sleeved imports your existing Shopify singles inventory directly. There are two ways to get your catalog in:
Option A — Shopify import (recommended)
Sleeved reads your current Shopify products and pulls singles into the matching queue. No CSV needed. Sleeved respects your existing product structure and won't modify anything during import.
Option B — CSV import
Export your catalog from your existing tool (spreadsheet, BinderPOS export, or Shopify product CSV) and upload it. Sleeved parses the file and queues matches for review. Useful if you're migrating from another platform or want to import a subset of your inventory.
After import, Sleeved attempts to match each product to a card in the database using name, set, and collector number. You review every match before anything is priced.
The mapping screen shows each product with its proposed card match and a confidence level. Most standard named products will match automatically. If a match is wrong or missing, you can search for the correct card manually and reassign it.
Tip
Products named in standard format (e.g. "Black Lotus [Alpha]" or "Charizard - Base Set - Holo Rare") match more reliably than abbreviated or custom-format names.
Pricing rules are the safeguards that make autopricing usable. Before your first sync, set a store default rule. You can also set per-product overrides and bulk-assign rules to sets or collections.
Set a minimum price for a product or category. Sleeved will never price below this threshold regardless of market data. Useful for protecting margin on low-value bulk and ensuring you're never giving cards away.
Define a minimum margin percentage. Enter your cost and the margin you want to maintain — Sleeved calculates the effective floor automatically and blocks pricing that would fall below it.
Limit how much a price can move in a single sync — expressed as a percentage. A 20% cap means Sleeved won't change any price by more than 20% in one run, even if market data suggests a larger move. Good for volatile cards.
Choose which market price reference to use — mid market, low, or high. Mid is the default and recommended starting point. Low is useful for staying competitive on high-demand singles. High protects margin on lower-volume items.
Some cards you want to price yourself — reserved stock, consignment, or items where your cost basis is unusual. Lock those SKUs and Sleeved will skip them in every sync, regardless of market movement.
To lock a SKU, open the product detail view from the Inventory screen and toggle the lock. Locked products are shown with a lock icon in the inventory list and are excluded from all dry-run previews and applied syncs.
Every sync in Sleeved begins as a dry-run. This is not optional — it's the core safety mechanism. The dry-run fetches current market data, applies your rules, and shows you a full table of proposed changes before anything is written to your Shopify store.
Step 1
From the dashboard or the Sync screen, click Run pricing preview. Sleeved fetches fresh market data for all matched products in your catalog.
Step 2
The preview shows each product, its current price, the proposed new price, the change amount and direction, and which rule (if any) was applied. Products blocked by a floor or cap are shown with the reason.
Step 3
If anything looks wrong, you can exclude individual products from this run without changing their rules. Exclusions apply to this sync only — the product will appear again in the next run.
Step 4
When you're satisfied, click Apply changes. Sleeved writes the approved prices to Shopify and records the full run in the audit log.
After you approve the dry-run, Sleeved applies the changes in the background. Prices are written to Shopify in batches. You can continue using the app while a sync is in progress.
When the sync completes, you'll see a summary screen showing how many products were updated, how many were skipped (locked, blocked by rule, or excluded), and a link to the full run detail in the audit log.
On Starter and above, Sleeved runs on a schedule so you don't have to trigger syncs manually. Configure your schedule from Settings → Schedule.
Scheduled syncs still go through dry-run logic and respect all your rules. If you have auto-apply enabled, Sleeved will apply the changes automatically when the preview passes your rule checks. If you prefer to review first, scheduled runs will queue a preview for your approval.
The audit log is under History in the app navigation. It shows every sync run — scheduled or manual — with a summary of what happened.
Click any run to open the detail view, which shows a full line-by-line record of every product in that sync: the old price, the new price, the rule applied, and the market reference used. If a price was blocked or skipped, the reason is shown.
Use the audit log to:
At any time, you can trigger a manual pricing run from the dashboard — regardless of your plan or schedule setting. This is useful when you know the market has moved and don't want to wait for the next scheduled sync.
Manual refreshes follow the same dry-run → review → apply flow as scheduled syncs. Your rules and locks all apply normally.
Your plan and billing are managed through Shopify's billing system. You can view your current plan, upgrade, or cancel from Settings → Plan & Billing inside the app.
All plans are billed monthly. There are no annual lock-ins, no transaction commissions, and no hidden fees. Cancelling removes the app from your Shopify store and stops all future syncs.
