Community Shop
The Community Shop is a Store-tier storefront for your local players. It is not the Card Butler hardware shop at /shop or /webshop.
Buyers browse /s/your-address, hold a unique copy, and pay when they collect it. Nothing is charged online.
The loop
- Trader → Shop → Settings — name, address (URL slug), colors, hold hours, pickup text. Save only stores settings; the shop is not public yet.
- Price copies in Listing, then Publish stock or List on your card shop.
- Go live. Buyers open
/s/your-address. - A player requests a hold. Those copies show as On hold and cannot go into another cart. You get an inbox row plus a take-out pick list.
- Pick from storage, mark picked, complete after they pay at the counter. Unreserve or extend only before you mark picked.
- If they miss the hold window (default 48 hours), the copies go back on the shop.
A hold is not a sale and not a payment.

Save writes fields. Go live makes the storefront public (you need a name first). Pause keeps settings and listed copies but blocks new holds.
What buyers never see
Box, section, and position stay private. The catalog shows the card, condition, language, and price.
Exclusivity
A copy already published to CardTrader or reserved in a marketplace-file export cannot also sit on this shop. Publish to the shop first if that is the channel you want; listing elsewhere takes it off the storefront.
