For your card game shop to succeed, you must attract new customers. The front of your store should have a revolving door with new customers coming and going, buying cards, and playing games at the Play Tables. Well, that’s all easier said than done. It’s totally possible to make money fast in TCG Card Shop Simulator! Here’s how to grow your little empire and expand your shop and selection!
How to Earn Money Quickly in TCG Card Shop Simulator
The progression loop in TCG Card Shop Simulator is immensely satisfying. As you bring in more customers, you expand your shop and sell additional products and services, thereby earning more money to continue growing and selling more. It’s simple, effective, and enthralling. On paper, it seems easy to scale your card shop business and earn more money in the game, but it’s easier said than done. Here are a few tips to help you earn more money in TCG Card Shop Simulator:
- Round up or down the prices on card packs and individual cards. While you may lose a little money by rounding down, you’ll save time as you won’t need to waste precious seconds counting out exact change for customers. That means you can fly through the line and sell more volume. It also helps when you have an employee manning the cash register, as they’ll move quickly, too.
- Speaking of pricing your products appropriately, don’t get too greedy. A good rule of thumb in TCG Card Shop Simulator is to add 10% when setting prices. It’s a safe, effective means to make money without pushing too many customers away. Sure, you’ll still have some that refuse to buy your products, but most won’t mind a 10% markup.
- Invest in full-size racks with space for more card packs, accessories, and figurines. This allows you to stock more per shelf in less space than if you vary your shelving in the shop. While a variety may look aesthetically pleasing to some, it cuts down on available product space per square foot.
- At the end of the day, go ahead and close the shop. Even if you have customers inside the store, they’ll finish their business and leave. If you have customers playing at the Play Tables, they’ll immediately get up and pay for the time spent playing, but some may also buy a few packs of cards before leaving. It’s a win-win!

What to Buy First in TCG Card Shop Simulator
When first starting, I recommend you invest in your shop in a few different ways: a few Play Tables—two or three against the rear wall will suffice—and an additional shelf or two to stock more card packs. The more you have available to sell, the more customers you’ll attract to your store. You’ll also run out of stock less, as you’ll immediately notice what’s in front of you and how much each stock has.
Once you start to level up your shop, invest in unlocking more product licenses to sell better card packs that earn you more money per sale!
