Your first import

The fastest way to feel out the vault is to import a batch. You can do this with raw photos straight off your phone, a CSV from another tool, or both at once.

Option 1 — Photo import

1. Go to Batches → New batch from the sidebar.
2. Give the batch a name (e.g. "2025-05-10 Pokemon stack"). Optional fields like sport, set, and price floor live behind the "Optional details" toggle.
3. Drag-and-drop your card photos into the uploader. Front-only is fine; front + back pairs improve AI identification accuracy.
4. Hit Start identifying. The vault queues each photo through CardSight, falls back to Gemini Flash if confidence is low, and writes the results into the batch.

You can keep adding photos to an open batch until you mark it complete.

Option 2 — CSV import

Already have inventory in a spreadsheet? Use the CSV importer:

1. Batches → New batch → Import CSV.
2. Download our sample CSV from the sidebar link (one click, no signup gate) and match your columns to ours.
3. Required columns: title, quantity. Everything else (set, year, grade, asking price, SKU, location) is optional.
4. Upload the file. The vault parses it, flags any rows it can't make sense of, and lets you fix them inline before committing.

What happens after import

Each card lands in Inventory with a status of imported. From there you can:

• Review the AI-suggested identification and accept or correct it.
• Pull live pricing (PriceCharting + eBay sold comps).
• Print a label (if you have PrintNode connected) so the physical card matches the digital row.
• Move it through the workflow: imported → identified → priced → photographed → listed → sold.

The next stop is usually Connecting eBay so you can publish your first listing.
