The challenge

Build a vertical platform dedicated to French Pokémon TCG collectors: centralized digital album, automatic identification via AI scan, real-time value tracking through reference marketplaces (Cardmarket, TCGPlayer), geolocated directory to facilitate in-person exchanges between collectors in the same department. The challenge: integrate multiple external APIs, handle AI visual recognition, and build a national local network across 101 departments.

Our solution

WordPress architecture with custom CPTs (carte_pokemon, pokemon, ec_annonce) and Pokeboard system (pb_departement, pb_region, pb_ville) for geolocation. Cardmarket + TCGPlayer API integrations for real-time prices with 7-day/30-day/unlimited history. AI image recognition for scanning physical cards. Internal messaging between users for in-person exchanges. Configurable price-variation alerts. Catalog base of 20,000+ Pokémon cards + 1,000+ referenced Pokémon.

Clear is a vertical platform dedicated to French Pokémon TCG card collectors. Digital album, AI scan, real-time pricing (Cardmarket + TCGPlayer), geolocated departmental directory, and internal messaging for in-person trades.

Project context

The French Pokémon TCG collecting market lacks a unified tool: collectors juggle Excel files for inventory, foreign sites for valuations, and Facebook groups for trades. EurêCard centralizes everything: collection organization, value tracking, visual card identification, and local matchmaking between enthusiasts.

Features delivered

  • Catalog of 20,000+ Pokémon cards — detailed listings with rich metadata (set, rarity, illustrator, dates).
  • La Capite business zone — species profiles with links to all their official maps.
  • Centralized digital album — each user manages their own collection (cards owned, duplicates, wanted items).
  • AI scan to identify a card from a photo — image recognition, automatic addition to album.
  • Real-time pricing via Cardmarket + TCGPlayer API — aggregation of the two leading Pokémon market marketplaces.
  • Valuation history — curves over 7 days, 30 days, or unlimited per map.
  • Configurable alert system — notifications on price variations for a targeted menu.
  • Departmental geolocalized directory — 101 departments + 18 regions, to find nearby collectors.
  • Internal messaging — discussions among users to organize in-person exchanges.
  • Listing system (ec_annonce) — buy/sell and trade listings between users.
  • Full legal compliance — legal notices, GDPR, cookies, T&Cs.

PHP + OAuth 2.0

WordPress + custom CPTs (carte_pokemon, pokemon, pb_departement, pb_region, pb_ville, ec_annonce). REST API integrations (Cardmarket + TCGPlayer) with cache for real-time prices. AI-powered image recognition for scanning. Pokeboard system for fine-grained departmental geolocation management. Scalable SEO templates for thousands of indexable pages.

What makes this project unique

A vertical platform that brings together in a single tool what French collectors had to piece together themselves: album + real-time valuation + AI recognition + local directory + messaging. The departmental SEO network (101 zones) captures local searches such as “buy Pokémon cards + department”. Current status: imminent launch, 54 pre-registrations, infrastructure ready to scale.
