A marketplace connection lets TCG STATS publish listings, receive orders or update stock for that sales channel.

Before publishing cards
After connecting a marketplace:
- check that the connection shows as active;
- review marketplace-specific settings;
- publish one test card;
- confirm the title, price and quantity on the marketplace;
- only then publish a larger batch.
One inventory, several marketplaces
The same physical card can be listed on more than one marketplace. TCG STATS keeps the available quantity centrally so a sale can update the other channels.
Never increase a marketplace quantity directly unless the same physical quantity also exists in TCG STATS.
