Philippine TCG inventory,
one search.
One search across Philippine card shops. Find the card, see who actually has it in stock right now, and go straight to that store to buy it.
The problem
Players hunt the card. Stores lose the sale.
Finding a single card in the Philippines means checking a dozen storefronts, Facebook groups and marketplace listings — most of them out of date by the time you get there.
TCG Pinas normalises inventory from participating retailers into one index, compares fresh in-stock listings, and hands the buyer to the store to complete checkout. We are not a marketplace and we don't take the order: the customer, the payment and the relationship stay with the retailer.
How it works
Built around
the retailer.
Two ways to get listed, one index, and crawling rules we hold ourselves to.
Authorised feeds
A retailer publishes inventory to a configured endpoint and we sync it directly. The most accurate path — and the one we recommend for stores with real stock systems.
Public storefront reading
For stores without a feed, we read only what they already publish for everyone: a merchant feed, a catalogue endpoint, or the storefront itself.
Search, then live fallback
Queries hit the index first. For stores that publish no catalogue index, search fans out live so results still reflect what's on the shelf.
Referral, not checkout
Every result links out to the retailer's own product page. Stores keep their margin, their customer data and their pricing control.
Good citizenship
We crawl the way we'd want to be crawled.
- robots.txt is enforced on every outbound request, including
Content-Signal: search=no. - Per-origin pacing and crawl-delay, request timeouts and response size caps.
- An identified user agent — you can always tell it's us in your logs.
- Stores that disallow crawling are excluded by default and listed only via an authorised feed.
- A retailer can ask to be removed from the index at any time.
For retailers

Onboarding is free while we build out the index. Send your store name and catalogue URL and we'll take it from there.
