BinderPOS has a waitlist. VENDR has a sign-up button.
BinderPOS is a full store system — POS, buylist, events, kiosk and a TCGplayer sync — that many shops grew up on. New sellers can't sign up: TCGplayer paused onboarding in February 2025. It also needs Shopify, takes a cut of online sales and updates prices every 12 hours.
