Running a local game store means processing buylist submissions, pricing singles cases, and managing an ever-changing MTG inventory that can include thousands of unique cards across dozens of sets. Lotus Scan gives store owners a fast, reliable scanning tool that works at the counter when a customer brings in cards to sell and in the back when you are inventorying new product. Real-time pricing from multiple marketplaces ensures you are always working with current market values when making buy and sell decisions. The app pays for itself by preventing pricing mistakes and reducing the time your staff spends on manual card lookups.

Why Store Owners Needs a Specialized Scanner

For store owners, every minute spent manually looking up card prices is a minute not spent helping customers, organizing events, or growing the business. Processing a buylist submission of 200 cards can take hours without a reliable scanner, and pricing errors on high-value cards directly impact your margins. Stores also need to quickly update their singles pricing when market shifts occur after major tournaments or ban announcements. A purpose-built scanning tool transforms these labor-intensive tasks into quick, accurate processes that free up staff time for higher-value work.
