Made for hobby game stores.
Not for every shop with a website.
We're built for independent, community-oriented hobby game stores, the ones who run leagues, host events, take consignment, and want their software to actually understand what any of that means.
Already run a website or a POS? See what works with itThe community store
Multiple game lines · weekly play · a Discord that runs hot
You run leagues, demo days, and tournaments across Magic, Warhammer, Pokémon, and a board game club. Your Discord is where everyone hangs out. Your website is the thing you keep meaning to fix.
Start with the website + events. Get all your communities onto one calendar people actually check, and stop typing the same announcement into three places.
The credit-and-trade store
Singles · trade-ins · tournament prizes
You pay tournament prizes in store credit. You buy back collections. You run trade-ins. It all lives on gift cards or a spreadsheet, and the mistakes cost you real money.
Start with store credit. Get the ledger off the spreadsheet without touching your POS, then let customers file their own want lists instead of leaving sticky notes, and take pre-orders for the next set without a sheet taped to the counter.
The miniatures-and-consignment store
Painted armies · used board games · long memories
You consign painted armies, used board games, and the occasional rare collectible. The records are in your head, your notebook, and a stack of POS receipts.
Start with consignment. A real list of who brought what in, what sold, and what you owe.
What you already run decides what works on day one.
Most of GameStoreOS needs nothing connected at all. The parts that read your sales, store credit at the register and consignment, need a storefront we talk to, which today means Wix or Square. Find your row.
No real website yet
A Facebook page and a Google listing
The full website: starter pages already written for the games you sell, an events calendar, announcements, customer accounts, on your own domain. Something good up by the weekend.
Your POS, your Discord, your Facebook page. Announcements can still go out to Discord and email from here.
Nothing. If you later add a Wix or Square storefront, store credit and sales connect to it.
A website you like
Squarespace, WordPress, a friend built it
Portal mode. We serve just the customer pages, events, pre-orders, store credit, the cards customers are hunting, in your branding at an address like play.yourshop.com. You paste a few links into your own menu.
Your site, untouched. We never need access to it, and you can switch to the full website later without losing anything.
Nothing. Checkout redemption codes and automatic sales need a Wix or Square storefront, if you have one.
Wix or Square
An online store, a counter POS, or both
Everything. Orders sync in, store credit redeems at checkout or the register, consignment sales land on the right consignor, paid event seats go through your checkout, and the customers you already have come across in one import.
Your storefront keeps doing checkout, tax and inventory. We never touch your catalogue or your order history.
Nothing.
Something else
Shopify, Crystal Commerce, Lightspeed, Clover, BinderPOS
The website or the portal, events, pre-orders, bounties, announcements, customer accounts, and a store-credit ledger your staff redeem by hand at the register.
Your POS and your web store exactly as they are.
Redemption codes at checkout, sales syncing in, and consignment, which is worked out from those sales. Shopify and Crystal Commerce are on the roadmap. Tell us which one you run; that is how we pick the next one.
Opening soon
Lease signed, shelves on order
A website with the starter pages, an events calendar, and store credit ready before the doors open, with a guided setup checklist instead of an empty admin.
Whatever POS you pick. Wix or Square connects on day one; anything else works as under “Something else”.
Nothing you would need before opening.

- You want us to replace your POS
- Run organized play, leagues, or hobby communities
- Carry multiple categories: TCG, miniatures, board games, RPGs
- Don't have time or interest in being a webmaster
- Want your tools to reflect how your store actually runs

Want a hand with one of these?
We're working with a handful of stores right now to get this right. If there's one part of running your store that always seems to eat your weekend, tell us about it.
