This guide will help you make your card shop run smoothly, earn more money, and open packs and also provide tips and tricks in TCG Card Shop Simulator.
Strategies for Card Shop Efficiency
These tips and tricks will help you make your card shop better while you play. Some of these things will naturally happen during the game, but if you prefer a more hands-off approach, this guide is for you! By following these ideas, you can let your shop run efficiently while you spend time opening packs and selling single cards.
Handling the Morning Rush for More Money
If your shop has tables for tournaments, getting customers through the cash register quickly is important. If an employee is slow, the tables won’t fill up, and you’ll miss out on money from tournaments. You can step in and help with the register when it gets busy, but remember that your employee will go back to cashier duty after you’re done.
Speeding Up Sales by Rounding Prices
If you have an employee at the register, rounding prices can make things faster. It helps because you don’t need to count every penny. For example, if your total is $20.50 after a 10% markup, rounding down to $20 might get you more sales. But be careful about rounding up—customers might not buy if it feels too expensive.
When selling single cards, rounding prices can sometimes make them more than 20% above market value. If the price is close to $10, customers might say, “I’ll have to think about it” or “I don’t have enough money.” But as long as they don’t complain about it being “too expensive,” the item will still sell.
Market Pricing: Finding the Right Balance
Usually, your items will sell for more than you bought them for. How much you charge depends on your goals. If you want to level up fast, pricing items below market value can help sell things quicker. But be careful—selling at the unit price won’t cover your bills or shipping costs.
If you want to make more money, pricing items above market value means sales will be slower, but you’ll earn more per sale. A good rule of thumb is to add 10% to your prices—most customers won’t mind, and it’ll help you make a bigger profit.
Keep Your Shop Clean: The Double M100 Trick
To keep your shop smelling fresh, place an open box of cleaning spray near the entrance. As the game goes on, this can get a bit annoying to keep up with. A better way is to set up two M100 cleaners at the entrance and arrange your furniture so all customers pass through. Make sure the cleaners have enough spray, and this setup will handle the cleanliness for you!
Maximize Storage: Go for Full-Sized Racks
It’s a good idea to upgrade your storage racks as soon as you can. Full-sized racks make it easier to stock items and help you keep track of what you need. Early in the game, you’ll need all the space you can get. Smaller racks won’t hold enough, so switch to full racks as soon as possible. Also, don’t be afraid to sell furniture if it’s taking up too much room.
Open packs however you like! This guide is all about making your shop run better, so you can enjoy the fun of opening packs your way.
End of Day Routine
Clearing Out for Late-Night Sales:
At the end of each day, it’s crucial to kick customers out of the store to maximize profits. Head over to the playing tables and press the “Move” key to make everyone get up. While some customers will leave right away, others might head to the register to make last-minute purchases. This simple action not only clears the store but can also lead to unexpected sales, boosting your overall profits before closing up for the night.
Pack Opening Tips
Open packs in whatever way brings you the most joy. This guide is here to help optimize your store, not to dictate how you should have fun in the game.

Mastering Card Shop Hygiene
The Double Auto Scent M100 Strategy:
Tired of spending more time cleaning than enjoying the fun parts of running your card shop? Here’s a game-changing solution: doubling up on the Auto Scent M100 right by the entrance!
Here’s why it works: A single scent machine might miss a few customers as they breeze through, but two machines create an optimal barrier that ensures everyone gets a refreshing spray, keeping your shop odor-free with minimal effort.
How to set it up: Position the register as close to the wall as possible, and place your play tables by the windows. This creates a natural funnel through a single gap, ensuring that customers pass through your “clean zone” every time they enter.
The result? Less time spent spraying down customers and more time for the tasks that matter—like opening card packs and serving your store’s community! With this setup, you’ll keep the shop fresh, increase customer satisfaction, and streamline your daily operations.
Less cleaning = More fun! Make the Double Auto Scent M100 setup your secret weapon for an effortlessly clean card shop.
Upgrading to the G500 Auto Scent? ($1,500)
While the Auto Scent G500 might seem like a tempting upgrade due to its doubled spray reserves, it’s important to note that it does not double its cleaning effectiveness. The increased capacity might mean fewer refills, but it doesn’t translate to better coverage or improved customer cleanliness. The M100 already does an excellent job when strategically placed, making the G500 an unnecessary expense. Instead of investing in this upgrade, focus on optimizing the placement and maintenance of your M100 units for maximum effectiveness and cost efficiency.
