BEFORE WE TALK
Good questions.
Will it identify every comic correctly?
No identification tool gets every edition right. Similar covers, reprints and books missing from the reference library can need review. VaultIndex includes catalog search and manual correction; a demo is a chance to test the books that matter to your shop.
Can I bring in my existing inventory?
Yes, through a CSV import workflow. I’ll review your columns and a small sample first. The file may need cleanup or mapping before a full import, particularly for a large inventory.
Do I have to use Shopify?
No. Inventory and Price Review can be used without Shopify. The optional Shopify connection is being tested separately.
Does Price Review change my prices automatically?
No. Running a report gives you information to review. A selling price changes only after you approve the update.
Can I use it on a Mac?
Windows is available for demonstrations. Mac builds are being tested on Apple Silicon and Intel. I’ll confirm compatibility and the available workflow with you before arranging a Mac pilot.
What does it cost?
Plans are being shaped around initial inventory size, monthly scanning and the tools your store needs. A large initial import may have a separate setup quote. I’ll provide the price and what’s included before you commit.
LOOKING AHEAD
Comics today.
More collectibles ahead.
TCGs, sports cards and other collectibles are planned for the future.
VaultIndex is focused on comic shops today. Support for additional collectible categories is not yet available; timing and features will be shared as development progresses.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR WORKFLOW
