The Card Shop Owner's Guide to CardShows.io

Your shop's CardShows.io listing helps collectors near you find your store — hours, specialties, and directions, right when they're searching. Here's how to get listed, claim your listing, and keep it up to date. Everything below is free.

Is Your Shop Already Listed?

Search our card shop directory for your shop's name. Two paths from here:

• Listed? Skip to Claiming Your Shop below.
• Not listed? Add it in two minutes.

Adding Your Shop

1. Go to cardshows.io/shops/submit — you'll sign in first (free, via email magic link or Google).
2. Fill in the essentials: shop name, website, city, and state. Add as much as you can — address, phone, store type, what you specialize in, services you offer, and store hours. The more complete your listing, the better it performs.
3. Submit. Our team reviews new listings before they go live. You'll get an email confirmation right away and another when it's published.

Pro tip: sign up with an email at your shop's own domain (like you@yourshop.com). If it matches the website you enter, you'll automatically own the listing the moment it's published — no separate claiming step.

Claiming Your Shop

If your shop is already listed, claim it to get a verified badge and control of the listing:

1. Open your shop's page and click "Claim this shop" in the "Is this your shop?" box.
2. Enter an email address on the same domain as your shop's website — this is how we verify you actually represent the shop (e.g. owner@yourshop.com for yourshop.com).
3. Enter the 6-digit code we email you. Codes expire after 10 minutes; you can resend after 60 seconds.

That's it — your listing now shows a verified badge, and a "Manage this shop" button appears for you.

No website on your listing, or no matching email? Domain verification won't work in that case — contact us and we'll verify you manually.
