How Do I Set Up My Pro Website?
As a Pro Seller, you automatically qualify for a Pro Website, which allows you to set up an exclusive channel for your customers to purchase directly from your site! After enabling your “My Store” channel on your channel settings, you can then set your channel prices and quantities for both your TCGplayer Marketplace and My Store on your pricing tab!
You can create your Pro Website in a few simple steps:
- Navigate to TCGplayer Pro Settings in the Seller Portal
- Go to Pro Website: Dashboard
- Click Activate under the Website Status
Pro Website Section
This section has an option to let you activate or deactivate your website. It also has a link to your site, if you ever needed to turn it off for some reason.
Customize Section
Here you can customize and update your site content. Personalizing your site is key to establishing your brand and should be one of the first things you do after you sign up for Pro Seller by TCGplayer.

Custom Domains
TCGplayer does not have the ability to manage custom domains nor SSL certification for custom domains for your Pro Website. However, you can work directly with your domain provider to forward or redirect your custom domain to your new Pro Website.
We recommend reaching out to your domain provider for step-by-step instructions on how to set this up. Make sure you have your Pro Website URL handy, which can be located right on your Pro Website: Dashboard. Please remember to use the entire URL starting with the “https://” to make sure your site is redirected correctly!
The Content Section
Here you can set up the content of your website by setting these items. You will have a couple of items already created for you but you can add more by clicking the + Create New button in the upper right corner of the interface. You also edit or delete items by clicking on those icons. Note: Home is a root-level item and can’t be deleted.
