GameSnapPOS vs
ShadowPOS
ShadowPOS is built for card games. It costs $200 a month and takes 2% of every marketplace and website sale — on $10,000 a month online, that’s another $200. Video games, consoles, and repairs aren’t its focus.
Looking for a ShadowPOS alternative?
ShadowPOS charges $200 a month plus 2% of your online sales. GameSnapPOS starts at $69 per store with no cut of your sales, and handles video games, consoles, collectibles, and repairs alongside your trading cards.

Where it falls short
The 2% cut on online sales grows as you do. The platform is centered on card games, so video games, consoles, and collectibles get less attention, and repair management isn’t listed.
