A back office that follows your process, not the other way round
The console runs in your browser. You set up your own packages, prices and status steps, and update submissions in batches. Meanwhile, your collectors automatically see where their cards are, without you explaining a thing.

From intake to grade, without separate lists on the side
The console follows the route you already take. Every step you take shows up on the collector’s side.
A submission comes in
The collector has paid and photographed their cards. You see the submission in your queue, photos and all.
The parcel arrives
You lay the cards next to the submission photos and confirm card by card that they match. If something doesn’t match, you request new photos.
You bundle them into a batch
Several submissions to the same grading company are sent off together. From the batch, you update their statuses in one go.
The grades come back
You enter the final grade for each card and confirm. The collector gets a notification and sees their grades in the app.
Built around how you work, not around one fixed process
No two companies work the same way, and even within one company, express runs differently from economy.
Photo check as a gate
On arrival, you confirm for each card that it matches the submission photo. Only then can the submission move forward. If something doesn’t match, you request new photos and the collector knows straight away.
Your own status process
Express runs differently from economy. Create your own steps and sequences and assign them per package. Without a flow of your own, the grading company’s standard process applies.
Batches and bulk updates
Cards physically leave in batches. Move several submissions forward a step at once, each in its own process, with a separate notification for each collector.
Services you decide on
Packages, prices, turnaround times, delivery addresses, pick-up locations, the pre-grade service and insurance. You set what you offer and on what terms.
Prices are fixed at submission
What the collector saw when they submitted still applies to that submission. You can change your rates without work in progress shifting as a result.
Reviews on three points
Response time, processing time and packaging, each reviewed separately. So you see what you’re good at and what you’re not, instead of one score with nothing to go on.

Which companies you can choose depends on the middleman you submit to. It’s on their profile.
Net, you pay GradeGate nothing
No subscription and no charge per submission for you. The collector pays the service fee, as a line on your invoice.
€0
per month, per submission and per card
The fee is paid by the collector
GradeGate charges a fee on the order value, and the collector pays it at checkout, on top of the amount they spend with you. You receive the full order value of what you offer.
Your money goes straight to you
Payments run through your own Mollie account. The full amount lands in your own balance; GradeGate doesn’t touch your money.
Your prices stay yours
You decide your packages, turnaround times and rates. If you change them, submissions in progress keep their original price.
What companies usually want to know first
Net nothing. The collector pays GradeGate’s service fee at checkout, on top of the amount they spend with you; it appears as a line on the invoice GradeGate issues on your behalf. Mollie transfers that amount to GradeGate and you receive a monthly invoice for it, already paid. If a collector cancels, GradeGate transfers the fee portion back to your Mollie balance. You keep the full order value.
No. The console runs in your browser. You can also use it on your phone through the same app collectors use; it has a separate side for companies.
Yes. You create your own status steps in your own order and assign them per package. Only the start (payment, and receipt with the photo check) and the final step have a fixed position.
Through your own Mollie account. The full amount lands in your own balance; GradeGate doesn’t touch your money. You manage payouts and refunds in your Mollie dashboard.
From the app. In it a collector chooses who to submit to and sees your packages, prices, turnaround times and reviews. That app is coming to the App Store first and to Android after that; until then you set up your profile, so you are there from day one. What does and does not exist today, we would rather tell you in the demo than have you work it out for yourself.
You keep it. Your packages, prices, status steps and shipping process stay yours, and you can start small with a single package. The console only replaces the part that is messy now: one work list instead of scattered notes, and statuses the collector sees for themselves instead of asking the same question fifty times.
You create a business account and set up your profile. As soon as it’s complete and an administrator has approved you, you’re visible to collectors and can receive submissions.
Prefer to look at it together first?
We’ll walk you through the console based on the way you work: your packages, your status steps and how you send a batch out of the door.
