TCG Importer
The reviews for the TCG Importer Shopify App are mixed, with some users expressing frustration over the pricing inaccuracies, lack of dedicated images for certain card types, and outdated SEO features. However, other users appreciate the time-saving aspect of the app, the responsiveness of the owner to feedback, and the ease of use. The app allows for assigning SKUs and barcodes, but users have to generate barcodes themselves. Overall, there is a sense of improvement and responsiveness from the developers, making it a valuable tool for managing TCG products on Shopify.

At the moment I'm giving this a 1* It's expensive It doesn't work I've uploaded one Pokemon set, it's taken me all day to list about 300 cards. The only images are of commons, there are NO dedicated images for HOLO or Reverse Holo, or Cosmos Holo, you have to upload them yourself. The pricing is not up to date, most of my cards are set at the default .99p even though they are showing a higher price on Pulse TCG. There are some benefits to this App, it allows you to assign an SKU and Barcode. but, (there is always a but) Shopify will not generate barcodes, neither will the APP, so you have to generate them yourself and enter them. This APP basically sits on top of the Shopify product file system. The SEO is another bug bear, what it gives you is old SEO, about ten years old, Google will hate it, so you you have to edit every SEO Meta Title and Description, with over 3000 cards, I'm not looking forward to that.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. I'm really sorry to hear your first experience hasn't been what you expected. I'd like to address a few of the points you've raised. Import speed: Importing a large Pokémon set shouldn't take anywhere near all day. We'd really like to investigate why this happened as that isn't typical behaviour. Images: At the moment we rely on the official images available from our data providers. Unfortunately alternate printings such as Reverse Holo, Cosmos Holo and some promotional variants don't always have dedicated images available. We're actively working on improving our image matching and adding support for more variants. Pricing: Prices should not be defaulting incorrectly if pricing data exists. We'd like to investigate your specific store as this sounds like something isn't working correctly. Barcodes: Shopify doesn't automatically generate barcodes through its API, so this is currently a platform limitation rather than something specific to our app. That said, we've had similar feedback and automatic barcode generation is something we're considering adding directly into TCG Importer. SEO: Our SEO fields are automatically generated to give merchants a starting point rather than requiring every field to be written manually. We're also working on significantly improving this with AI-generated SEO, including better titles, descriptions and richer metadata. If you'd like, I'd be happy to schedule a call with you to see how we can make the experience much better. If you can email me at [email protected] I'd be more than happy to assist you edit: I've just sent you an email :)
Earle days but they seems determined to improve which is great. Owner is very responsive and open to suggestions. Highly recommend
10/10 I would highly recommend TCG Importer to anyone running a TCG store. Whether you’re uploading small amounts of cards or thousands this app can save you hours of time. Manually adding TCG products to Shopify can be incredibly time-consuming, but TCG Importer makes the process much faster and easier. The app itself is very straightforward to use, and the developers have been extremely responsive to questions and feedback. They’ve also recently released an update roadmap with plenty of new features and improvements planned, which is great to see. For any TCG store looking to upload and manage singles more efficiently, this is definitely an app worth checking out.
Time saving +++ Owner is answering all my questions on discord too, highly recommend it!
