Three cards.
One still to drop.

Being on DiscoverTCG is free — the listing for a shop, the app for a collector. The card in the middle turns a collector looking at their phone into one standing at your counter. The third is still being printed.

More than one shop

Every branch, a bit cheaper.

Each shop keeps its own shelf, its own inbox and its own events, because each one holds different stock. What falls is the price per shop — on one subscription, and one invoice for the company.

Side by side

The whole list, nothing hidden.

The two shop cards, row by row. The Collector tier is not in this table because its list is not real yet — and we do not put things in tables before they are.

The demand board needs collectors near you

It is the reason most shops will subscribe, so here is the catch in writing: it counts real activity from collectors near your shop, and it shows a card only once at least five different people have looked for it. Early on, yours may say “fewer than 5” — that is the truth, not a fault. Paying does not change the number; collectors near you do.

The free limits are not switched on yet

Shops already on DiscoverTCG currently have more than the Listed column shows — we built the shelf before we built the tiers. Nothing will be taken away without notice first, which is a promise in our store terms, not just on this page.

No surprises

What happens if…

The three questions every shop owner actually wants answered before they type a card number in, answered before you do.

…a payment fails

Nothing changes for a week. Everything stays switched on for seven days while you sort the card out, and Stripe emails you rather than us chasing you. That grace is available once in any twelve months — a second failure inside the year moves you back to the free listing the same day, and twelve months after your last one the week is yours again.

…you cancel

You keep everything until the month you have already paid for runs out — we never cut you off mid-month for money you have handed over. Cancel from your own billing page, no email to write, no retention call.

…you come back

Stock above the free allowance is hidden, never deleted. Your shelf, your chat history and your past events are exactly where you left them, so returning is one payment rather than an evening of re-typing.

For collectors

The app is the free part.

Scanning, your collection, its value and the map cost nothing today. A Collector tier is on the way — and this is everything we can honestly tell you about it.

Free today

The camera scanner and its 20,089 cards, named bulk boxes, binders and shelves, a GBP estimate for the lot, the trip planner and the map of 15,757 places — free on Google Play, and nobody is asked for a card number to file their first Charizard.

The tier, being designed

£4.99 a month is the price we are building to, and nothing collectors use today has moved behind it. We are deliberately not publishing a feature list until the features are real — a promise list for an unbuilt product is how you end up lying to collectors. The full list lands on this page before anyone can pay.

Earn it before you can buy it

Shelf reports the community verifies earn coins in the app today, and 25 coins buys a premium day. There is no checkout for the Collector tier yet, so the first collectors to hold premium will not have paid a penny for it — they will have stood in a shop and told the truth about a shelf.

Money questions

The billing small print, in plain English.

Anything about the product rather than the bill is answered over on the shops page. Still stuck? Email support@discovertcg.com and a founder replies.

Is there VAT on top of the £39.99?

No. £39.99 is the whole of it — nothing is added at checkout, and that is the figure that hits your books. Stockulate Ltd is not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT. Payment is taken by Stripe, who act as merchant of record for the subscription and account for any tax due on it themselves, out of that £39.99.

How do I get an invoice for my accountant?

Every payment produces one automatically. Open Manage billing in your store console and you can view or download the PDF for any month, back to your first payment. You will never have to email us asking for one.

One thing worth telling your accountant up front: the invoice is issued by Stripe, who act as merchant of record for this subscription and account for any tax on it. Stripe is the supplier that appears on the paperwork, not us.

Is there a contract or a minimum term?

No. It is month to month. Cancel from your own billing page whenever you like, without emailing anyone, and you keep every feature until the month you have already paid for runs out.

What happens if a payment fails?

Nothing changes for a week. The first time a payment fails, your shop keeps everything for seven days while you sort the card out. That grace is available once in any twelve months. A second failure inside the year moves you back to the free listing straight away — your shop stays on the map and your stock is hidden, never deleted.

Do you take a commission on what I sell?

No. DiscoverTCG never handles your money, never processes a customer payment and never takes a percentage of a sale. Collectors buy from you, in your shop, on your terms. The subscription is the only thing we will ever charge you for.

Do you store my card details?

No. Payment is handled entirely by Stripe, who are the merchant of record. Your card number never touches DiscoverTCG's systems, and we could not see it if we wanted to.

I run more than one shop. Do I pay full price for each?

No. Each branch keeps its own shelf, inbox and events, but the price per shop falls as you add them — £34.99 each for two to four, £29.99 each for five to nine, £24.99 each at ten or more. One subscription, one invoice for the company. Try the slider above.

What do I need before I can subscribe?

You need to have claimed your shop, which is free and takes a couple of minutes. Find your shop in the directory, confirm it is yours, and once it is approved the billing page appears in your store console.

What will the Collector tier cost, and when can I buy it?

£4.99 a month is the price we are building to, and there is no launch date. Nothing is on sale — the checkout does not exist yet. When the feature list is final it will be published on this page before anyone can pay a penny.

What happens to the free app when the Collector tier arrives?

The app is free today — the scanner, your collection, its estimated value and the map — and nothing collectors use today has moved behind the tier. The tier is being designed as an addition, and we are deliberately not publishing a feature list for it until the features are real. Verified shelf reports already earn coins in the app, and 25 coins buys a premium day, so the first collectors to hold premium will not have paid for it.

Claiming your shop costs nothing and asks for no card. Have a look round the console, put six items on your shelf, and subscribe if and when it earns it. Collecting rather than selling? The app is free too.
