What needed to improve

Start with what needed to work better.

Trading cards create an ecommerce problem that generic store templates do not handle particularly well: many one off items, set names, card numbers, rarities, languages, conditions and graded stock. The store needed to help collectors find the exact card they wanted while also giving the business practical tools to manage a constantly changing catalogue.

What we delivered

Built for collectors, live stock and day to day operations.

Four parts of the project that made the biggest difference.

Card discovery

Search and filters built around names, sets, numbers, language, condition, rarity, finish, grading and price.

Multi-buy experience

Basket logic and clear discount tiers encourage collectors to combine eligible singles without manual calculation.

Trust & checkout

Clear condition information, real stock, secure checkout and collector-focused reassurance throughout the buying journey.

Operational workflow

Product, stock, order and fulfilment tooling designed around the day to day realities of an independent card seller.

Faster product discovery

Collectors can search the catalogue the way collectors think, rather than scrolling generic categories.

A stronger independent channel

The business has a direct storefront that can complement marketplace sales and build its own customer relationship.

Operations that match the stock

The back office reflects one off inventory and frequent catalogue changes instead of forcing a standard retail workflow.

Support after launch

The relationship does not end at launch.

Professor Cards is the kind of ecommerce project that benefits from constant iteration: search improvements, promotions, stock workflows, order tools, email, performance and new ways to make the catalogue easier to shop.

How the project is supported

Built for the job now.
Ready for what comes next.

We choose the technology around the workflow, the people using it and how the project will be maintained. The point is not to use the most fashionable stack. It is to leave the client with something dependable and understandable.
