Replace ComicSuite

It’s time to replace your aging infrastructure, and that old ComicSuite account should be the first to go.

“ComicSuite just doesn’t meet our needs anymore.”

We’ve heard it from many stores. ComicSuite was a good offline tool when Diamond was the only game in town, but now that there’s other vendors, other distributors, and other considerations, ComicSuite can’t do everything.  This page will help you explore alternatives to ComicSuite, and show you how Manage Comics can be part of that change.

We’ve helped a number of stores break out of the ComicSuite infrastructure, porting their subscription customers over to Manage Comics and providing a better customer experience, not to mention a better store experience.

AND we’ll help you make more money too.

A Modern POS System

Your store needs a POS system that syncs up with your website, and also allows you to track your sales in ways that gets you more information.

Modern POS systems have those features built in. Shopify’s POS system works hand in hand with an online website to create a hybrid retail environment that allows you to continue making sales even when your store is closed. Imagine being open 24/7 and not having to staff the store all the time. That’s the power of hybrid retail.

If you sell Collectable Card Games singles like Magic The Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and others, we recommend our partners at BinderPOS who combine a state of the art POS system with an incredible Shopify powered webstore to create a super-powered solution.

We can export your customers quickly and painlessly

We’ve done several exports from ComicSuite to Manage Comics, and we’ve got it down to a science.

Once we get your export from ComicSuite (don’t worry, we’ve got step-by-step instructions on how to export your customers and their subscriptions), we match them up with what’s in our system, identify all of the dead subscriptions…and there will be lots of them…and import only the active subscriptions for your customers.

You’ll get an accurate, clean view of what your customers are subscribed to, and know immediately what you need to order, and from which distributor (we generate initial order and Final Order Cutoff reports for you).

Best of all, your customers get a massive upgrade in their user experience, and they will reward you with new subscriptions and more comics ordered!
