Where Storepass wins
Smoother BinderPOS migration
If you are already on Shopify with BinderPOS, Storepass is a closer drop-in replacement since both layer on Shopify.
Deeper ecommerce integration
Storepass is built directly into Shopify/BigCommerce, so storefront features like themes, checkout flows, and apps work natively.
Mature deckbuilder
Paste-decklist-to-cart functionality starting at Pro ($1,999/mo) and unlimited at Enterprise ($4,999/mo). SortSwift's paste-a-decklist cart builder is part of Storefront, which is still in beta.
Smart page builder
Pro tier and above include a visual page builder for custom storefront pages. SortSwift Storefront's drag-and-drop page builder is still in beta.
Where SortSwift wins
0% SortSwift commission on POS and marketplaces
No SortSwift commission on POS or synced marketplace sales on any tier; Stripe fees pass through at cost and SortSwift storefront orders carry 2%. Storepass Scaling tier charges 2% on top of processing fees.
Independence from Shopify
SortSwift does not require any ecommerce platform. No Shopify subscription, no BigCommerce dependency, no platform lock-in.
44 TCG games
SortSwift supports more than double the TCG game coverage compared to Storepass. Scanning works across all supported games.
Card scanning with 5 entry points
Mobile app, web scanner, file upload, Simple Sifter, and Super Sorter. Storepass has no card scanning.
Hardware integration
Super Sorter for automated physical card sorting and Simple Sifter for desktop scanning. No equivalent exists in Storepass.

Storepass comparison FAQ
Does SortSwift require Shopify or any other ecommerce platform?
No. SortSwift is a standalone platform. You can optionally connect Shopify, eBay, TCGplayer, CardTrader, ManaPool, CardNexus, Square, Misprint, WooCommerce, or Walmart, but none are required. Storepass requires either Shopify or BigCommerce as a dependency.
Can I migrate from Storepass to SortSwift?
Yes. Export your inventory from Storepass/Shopify as a CSV and import it into SortSwift. Marketplace connections (eBay, TCGplayer) can be reconnected directly. Most stores complete migration in 2 to 3 weeks.
Does Storepass have card scanning like SortSwift?
Storepass does not offer card scanning or recognition technology. SortSwift provides 5 scanning entry points: mobile app, web scanner, file upload, Simple Sifter, and Super Sorter, covering 44 TCG games.
What about the Storepass deckbuilder?
Storepass offers a paste-decklist-to-cart deckbuilder starting at their Pro tier ($1,999/mo) with unlimited access at Enterprise ($4,999/mo). SortSwift Storefront, a hosted online store currently in beta, includes a paste-a-decklist cart builder.
Why is Storepass more expensive when you include Shopify fees?
Storepass requires a Shopify subscription ($39+/mo for Basic Shopify) as a prerequisite. That cost stacks on top of the Storepass subscription. Additionally, the Scaling tier ($99/mo) adds a 2% commission. SortSwift has no platform dependency fees and takes 0% commission on POS and synced marketplace sales on every tier.
