Hoard exports your full TCGplayer inventory as a CSV and uploads it to the Hoard server on a schedule you control.

​
What gets synced

Every sync captures your complete seller inventory:
  • Card name, set, condition, printing (foil/non-foil)
  • Your current listed price
  • TCG Market Price and TCG Low Price
  • Quantity in stock
  • Card catalog identifiers (for matching images and market data)

​
How syncing works

TCGplayer browser windows opened by Hoard while export and report steps run
During a sync, Hoard may open one or more TCGplayer browser windows. Hoard uses them for the steps that need a real browser (initial login and the Move-to-Live price upload). Most other steps now run in quiet mode, talking to TCGplayer directly without opening a window — so most of a sync should pass without taking over your screen. When a window does open, leave it visible until that step finishes.

​
Sync schedule

Configure in Settings > Sync: You can also control when those syncs are allowed to fire:
  • Preferred Sync Hour pins the cadence to a wall-clock hour in your timezone. For example, a 4-hour cadence pinned to 3 AM runs at 3 AM, 7 AM, 11 AM, 3 PM, 7 PM, and 11 PM local time.
  • Quiet Window prevents scheduled syncs during a window like 6 PM to 10 PM. If a scheduled slot lands inside the window, Hoard waits until the window ends instead of running in the middle of your busiest buying hours.
  • Days of Week limits syncs to specific days. Leave every day checked for normal daily operation.
Settings and the dashboard both show the next eligible sync time. If the timestamp is being recomputed after a settings change, you may briefly see “Computing…” until the scheduler refreshes it.

​
Multi-product-line sync

If you sell across multiple product lines, Hoard handles each one separately. Go to Settings to choose which games appear on your dashboard and which ones Hoard is allowed to reprice. Inventory-detected games are pinned first, and less common TCGplayer games are available through search.

​
Cooldown after failures

When a sync fails on a critical step (login, export, or upload), Hoard pauses before retrying. This keeps it from hitting TCGplayer over and over while something is down. The cooldown clears on its own once things are working again.

​
Manual sync

Click Sync Now on the Dashboard to trigger an immediate sync. Hoard picks it up within 30 seconds.

If you use Hoard Desktop, you can also click Sync Now from the local page. The button requests a sync; Hoard starts it on the next check-in.

​
Sync history

The Dashboard’s Sync Log tab shows every sync with:
  • Date and time
  • Cards repriced
  • Cards sold since last sync
  • Market movers detected
  • Revenue impact of price changes
