Magic Graders: Online marketplace for collectible cards

Project brief.

Magic Graders is a marketplace where users can buy and sell the collectible cards ‘Magic: The Gathering'. The platform also provides trusted third-party grading service to certify the card’s authenticity and identify its market value. The client hired us to build the entire platform from scratch. The focus was to build a one-of-a-kind marketplace and experience for ‘Magic: The Gathering’ cards lovers and serve the needs of varied parties including collectors, dealers, and auction houses. The platform is running as a fully-fledged marketplace with all necessary features such as buyer-seller registration, card listing and search, payment processing, credit history, product and order management, and more.

Challenges & Solutions

ebay Integration:

The most complex challenge in this platform was integrating all inventory and catalog with eBay. A regular synchronizer checks and monitors each event on eBay products, updating details in Magic Grader. Similarly, any sales updates on Magic Grader reflect on eBay, ensuring seamless synchronization between platforms.
