Ways to sell mystery packs online.
Card sellers sell mystery packs online in three main ways: live breaks on a marketplace app, a mystery box app added to an online store, or an oripa store on their own site. Here is how they differ.
The three ways, side by side
Live-stream marketplaces such as Whatnot run breaks on camera. Mystery box apps add a random product to a store built on a platform such as Shopify. An oripa store, like one built on OripaOS, sells packs on the seller’s own site around the clock.
| Live breaks on a marketplace | Mystery box app on your store | Your own oripa store (OripaOS) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where players buy | In the marketplace’s app, during your stream | On a product page in your store | On a pack page on your own domain |
| When you sell | While you’re live | Any time | Any time |
| What players see before buying | What you show on stream | Depends on the app | Every prize tier, the cards left in each and the odds |
| How the odds change | Set by the break format | Depends on the app | Worked out again after every pull, from the cards left |
| How the card reaches the player | You ship after the break | You ship the order | The pull waits in the player’s vault until they ask you to ship |
| Who players pay | The marketplace, which pays you out | Your store’s checkout | Your own payment account |
| What it costs | Set by the marketplace | Set by the app and the store platform | A one-time setup fee, then 3.99% of sales: $99 minimum, $3,999 maximum a month |

When each one fits
An oripa store fits when
- You have cards to sell and want packs open around the clock, not only while you’re live.
- You want players buying on your own site, under your brand.
- You want players to see the cards left and the odds before every pull.
Something else fits better when
- You want to open product on camera for a live audience. A live-break marketplace does that, and you can run both.
- You already run a store and only want one mystery box product. A mystery box app may be enough.
- Your players are outside the United States. OripaOS is launching in the US; other countries open after legal review.
- You don’t have cards ready to ship. Pulls ship by default, so stock comes first.
What OripaOS includes
- A store on your domain, with your logo and colors.
- A pack builder that shows your estimated margin and return rate before you publish.
- Odds, prize lists and cards left on every pack, updated with every pull.
- Player vaults and shipping requests.
- Age checks and state blocking built in.
