The short version
Both are built for trading card stores. BinderPOS is TCGplayer's point of sale, running on Shopify, with a TCGplayer integration for US stores. SortSwift is a standalone platform built around scanning, autopricing and syncing your inventory to marketplaces, with a POS on its higher bundles.
Pick BinderPOS if
- You already run your store on Shopify.
- You sell through TCGplayer in the US and want that integration.
- You're an existing customer or on its waitlist: new sign-ups are paused.
Pick SortSwift if
- You want card-image scanning and marketplace sync at the centre of your day.
- You'd rather not run Shopify underneath your inventory.
- You want to start on a free plan with a small inventory.
Where Game Store Software fits
If you sell video games and consoles as well as cards, or you're in Canada, neither was built for you. Game Store Software runs the till, trade-ins, stock and your online store in one system. See Game Store Software vs BinderPOS and Game Store Software vs SortSwift.
