What is PokeSwift?
PokeSwift is a point of sale app for trading card show vendors. It combines camera card scanning, a built-in Pokémon card catalog with price history, live comps, and a cart that handles sales and trade-ins together, so you can price and close deals without a calculator or a dozen browser tabs.
Which devices does PokeSwift run on?
PokeSwift runs on iPhone and iPad (App Store), Android (Google Play), and in any web browser at app.pokeswift.com. One account works everywhere, and transactions sync live between your devices.
How do I sign in?
You can sign in with an email and password, Continue with Apple, or Continue with Google. Use the same sign-in method on every device to see the same account and transactions.
How do I scan a card?
Point your camera at the card and tap to capture it. PokeSwift analyzes the photo, identifies the card, and adds it to your queue, where you can review the match, adjust the price, and tap Add To Cart.
For the best results, keep the card flat and well lit, with the name and card number clearly visible. You can also search the catalog or add items manually for sealed product and accessories.
What is the difference between Outgoing and Incoming?
Every deal has two sides, shown as tabs at the top of the items pane:
- Outgoing is for items leaving your table, cards and products you are selling to the customer.
- Incoming is for items you are taking in from the customer as a trade-in, paid out in store credit or cash.
Tap a tab to switch sides. If an item ends up on the wrong side, open it and use Move to send it to the other one. Both sides live in the same cart, so the deal always comes out to one total.
How does AI card identification work?
When you capture an Incoming card, PokeSwift sends the photo to an AI model that reads the card name, set, number, and any grading details (grading company, grade, and cert number). It then checks our catalog prices and live eBay listings before suggesting a market price.
For Outgoing items, the AI focuses on identifying the card and reading the sticker price you've put on it.
The AI can get things wrong, especially with blurry or glare-covered photos, so always double-check the match. To dig deeper, open the item and tap AI Chat to ask follow-up questions or attach more photos.
How are prices determined?
- Catalog prices come from TCGplayer market prices and are updated daily.
- eBay active listings are pulled live for the item you're looking at.
- Comps lets you check TCGplayer, eBay, PriceCharting, Collectr, and your own custom sites from inside the app.
For trade-ins, your payout percentages are applied to the item's value to calculate what you offer. Outgoing items use the sale price you set.
Can I edit a price?
Yes. Select an item in the queue and tap the Price to edit it. In the cart, tap any row to open its details, where you can edit the price (or value, for trade-ins), change the quantity, and, for Incoming items, adjust that item's credit and cash percentages.
How do trade-in payouts work?
Set your defaults in Settings → Payout Defaults on mobile, or Settings → Trade-in payouts on the web:
- Store credit (default 80%) is applied when a customer trades toward a purchase.
- Cash payout (default 70%) is used when the customer sells cards for cash.
Store credit is applied first to offset whatever the customer is buying. Any trade-in value that's left over is converted to cash at your cash payout percentage. For example, a $100 card is worth $80 in credit; if $50 of that credit goes unused, it pays out as $35 cash.
You can override the percentages for any individual item in the cart.
What is Comps?
Comps opens an in-app browser so you can check prices on TCGplayer, eBay, PriceCharting, and Collectr without leaving PokeSwift. Open it from the menu, or tap View live comps on an item to search for that card directly. You can turn sources on or off and add your own sites.
Comps is available in the iPhone, iPad, and Android apps.
How do I complete a transaction?
When the cart is ready, review the totals in the Checkout panel. If the deal includes trade-ins, the Trade-In Summary shows the credit and cash breakdown.
- Add the customer's name, plus an optional phone number and email.
- Under Paid With, choose how the customer paid: Cash, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, Card, or Other. You can also split the payment.
- Tap Complete Transaction.
If you entered an email, the customer receives a transaction confirmation.
How do I import my inventory?
PokeSwift imports CSV exports from Collectr and TCGplayer and detects the format automatically.
- Web: go to Inventory and click Import.
- Mobile: open Inventory from the menu and tap Import. You can upload a CSV file or email the export to your personal PokeSwift import address.
To bring a customer's list straight into the current deal, use the Import tab in Comps on mobile, or Import items on the web point of sale.
Can I export my transaction history?
Yes. On mobile, open Transaction history and tap CSV to share a spreadsheet, or PDF to have a report emailed to you. On the web, open Transactions and click Export CSV.
What happens if the show Wi-Fi is bad?
Every change is saved on your device first and synced in the background, so nothing is lost when the connection drops. It catches up automatically once you're back online. Catalog cards you have already viewed are cached too. AI scanning and live comps need a connection.
Which cards are in the catalog?
The catalog covers English Pokémon cards and sealed product. For anything else, you can add items manually.
How much does PokeSwift cost?
PokeSwift is $4.99 per week or $129.99 per year, with every feature included. New accounts start with a 3-day free trial.
How do I cancel or manage my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by whichever store you purchased through:
- iPhone / iPad: iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Use Restore Purchases on the subscription screen if you reinstall or switch devices.
- Android: Google Play Store → profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- Web: Settings → Manage subscription.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Settings → Delete account and confirm by typing DELETE. You can also delete your account on the web at app.pokeswift.com/delete-account. Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription, so cancel that separately.
