How ShowConnect works
Five minutes from now, you'll have a live lead-capture page running at your booth — and a 6-email drip sequence that follows up with every buyer on autopilot.
What is ShowConnect?
ShowConnect is a free lead capture tool built for sports card sellers who do shows. You get a co-branded page with your name and logo that runs on any iPad or phone at your table. Buyers type their email to stay connected — and ShowConnect automatically sends them a 6-email nurture sequence that brings them back to your My Card Post shop.
Set up your page
Head to showconnect.mycardpost.com/setup and fill in four fields. That's it.
Setup form — what each field does
Your MCP shop URL
Your My Card Post seller page URL — e.g. mycardpost.com/joes-cards.
Buyers will be linked here directly from every follow-up email.
Display name
What buyers see on the capture page — your shop name or your own name. Something short and recognisable like "Joe's Cards".
Logo (optional)
Upload your shop logo or a photo. It shows up next to the My Card Post logo on the capture page, giving buyers a co-branded, professional-looking experience. Skip it and your initials are used as a placeholder — looks great either way.
Referral link (optional)
If you're an MCP Ambassador, add your referral link here. Every buyer you capture gets silently attributed to your link — you earn 30% ongoing revenue share when they convert to a paid MCP subscriber.
Go live at your booth
Open your seller dashboard from any device, hit Go Live, and set your iPad on the table. Buyers tap their email into the form — no friction, no app to download.
Kiosk mode
The capture page is designed specifically for iPad — large tap targets, big text, no distractions. After each signup it resets automatically so the next buyer can go.
QR code
Don't want to hand over your iPad? Generate a QR code from your dashboard, print it, and tape it to your table. Buyers scan → go straight to your capture page on their own phone.
Pro tip: Load your kiosk page before the show while you have wifi. ShowConnect works offline — emails are saved locally and sync automatically when you're back online.

Watch your leads grow
Your seller dashboard tracks every lead in real time. The 6-email sequence fires automatically the moment someone signs up — you don't have to do anything.
Live lead counter
Today's signups, all-time total, and converted leads — all on one screen, updating every 10 seconds. You'll know your show is working in real time.
6-email drip — fully automatic
Every buyer gets a carefully timed sequence: a personal welcome (Day 1), MCP intro (Day 2), first look at your inventory (Day 5), seller spotlight (Day 10), want list invitation (Day 14), and a final MCP invite (Day 21). Zero extra work from you.
QR code generator
Generate a scannable QR code for your capture page right from the dashboard. Download it, print it on a card, and tape it to your table.
Export your leads
Download your full lead list as a CSV any time from the Leads tab. Filter by date range or show name to see who came from which event.
New listing alerts
When you add 10 or more new cards to your My Card Post shop, ShowConnect automatically fires a visual email alert to every lead you've captured — bringing them back to browse your freshest inventory.
How it works
- 1 ShowConnect checks your MCP shop for new listings every few days.
- 2 If 10+ cards are new since the last check, it queues an alert.
- 3 Every captured lead gets an email with a direct link back to your shop.
- 4 You sit back while buyers click through to your fresh inventory.
No configuration needed. This runs automatically as long as your MCP shop URL is set correctly.
Common questions
Do I need a My Card Post account?
You don't need one to get started. ShowConnect works as a standalone tool. But pairing it with a My Card Post shop unlocks the full value — every buyer you capture gets a direct link back to your live inventory online. Sign up free at mycardpost.com.
Is ShowConnect really free?
ShowConnect has a free plan that includes kiosk lead capture, the 6-email drip sequence, and basic lead management — no credit card required. Pro ($9.99/mo) and Business ($24.99/mo) plans unlock broadcast emails, Shopify sync, full analytics, and more. See the full comparison at showconnect.mycardpost.com/pricing.
What device should I use at my table?
Any phone, tablet, or laptop with a browser works. The capture page is optimised for iPads — big text, easy tap targets, no accidental zooming. If you don't have an iPad, a phone works just fine, or print the QR code instead.
What emails do buyers receive?
A 6-email drip sequence over 21 days: a personal welcome, an MCP introduction, first look at your inventory, a seller spotlight, a want list invite, and a final MCP sign-up invitation. Each email is sent on their behalf of you — your name, your shop, your links. Buyers can unsubscribe at any time.
Can I use this at multiple shows?
Absolutely. Your page stays live all the time. Each show, just open your dashboard and hit Go Live again. You can also add a show name when you go live — it's saved with each lead so you can filter your list by event later.
How does the referral program work?
If you add your MCP referral link in setup, every lead you capture is attributed to you. When they convert to a paid MCP subscriber, you earn — standard plan gets free months, and MCP Ambassadors earn 30% ongoing revenue share. Learn more about the Ambassador program →
