Slide the card under the phone
The phone sits on a stand and reads the card while the customer is still at the counter. Nothing is typed twice, and a card you already know can be found by name instead.
For card shops
The boxes behind your counter are money you already spent.
Shops call it the death pile: collections you bought months ago, still in monster boxes, because keying them in costs more staff hours than the cards are worth. We are building the counter software that ends that for an independent shop, where a clerk slides a card, confirms the printing and finish, and it lands priced, addressed and sellable in one ledger that every channel you run reads from. Intake, the ledger and the shelf addresses work today. The rest is being built now, and the shops in this beta are the ones deciding what it becomes. FoilFox never lists or sells your cards and takes no cut of them; you keep selling wherever you sell today.

Confirm the printing and finish
FoilFox offers a card and the finish it read, and your clerk confirms it before anything is saved. Card recognition is still in development, so the person at the counter makes the call.

Give it a cost and a place
Record what you paid and where the card goes, down to the pocket it sits in. A dated market estimate sits beside your own price without replacing it.
What you get back for the effort
The pile turns into rows you can price
Every card comes out of the box as the exact printing and finish your clerk confirmed, rather than one line for the whole set. A reverse holo and an ordinary copy hold their own counts, their own costs and their own prices, which is the difference between selling a box at bulk and selling the cards in it.
One ledger under the systems you already run
A shop runs a register, a Shopify store, maybe eBay, maybe its own site, and the count in each one drifts from the shelf. FoilFox holds the count the shop actually has and connects to Shopify to read what your store thinks it has, so you find the card that sold in the case an hour ago and is still listed online. A counter hold takes copies off the available count until staff put them back.
Cards live at an address
A room holds racks, a rack holds boxes, and a box holds pockets, so every card carries the address of the place it sits. Staff walk a shelf in pick order to count it, and FoilFox reports the differences instead of quietly rewriting your numbers.
