Help & FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about Lumex.

Dashboard

What does the dashboard show me?: Your collection at a glance — total value, card count, and the portfolio performance chart over time.
How often is the collection value updated?: Prices are refreshed automatically on a regular schedule; the portfolio chart captures the value once per day.

How do I add cards to my collection?: Pick a card from search and add it, or scan cards in the Lumex mobile app — they show up here automatically too.
Can I change condition, language, or foil for several cards at once?: Yes, via bulk edit: select cards and change condition/language/foil for all selected cards at once.
How do I export my collection?: As a CSV file or a Moxfield list — both options are in the export menu of the Collection view.
Why don't I see more than 1000 cards right away?: The view loads pages incrementally; export and "select all" always account for your entire collection regardless.

What can I build decks from?: Your own collection or the full card catalog, even for cards you don't own yet.
What does the Analyzer show me?: Mana curve, color devotion, and which cards in your deck are still missing from your collection.
Can I add missing deck cards directly to my wishlist?: Yes, one click adds every missing card of a deck to your wishlist.

What is the wishlist for?: Cards you want to buy — whether they came from a deck or were added directly.
How do I export my wishlist for shopping?: As a Cardmarket wantlist — the export is right in the wishlist view.

Where do I scan cards?: Scanning happens in the Lumex mobile app (Android/iOS) using the camera — this web app has no scanning feature of its own.
How does card recognition work?: The app recognizes cards via on-device image matching, no internet connection needed. If recognition isn't confident, the card is flagged for manual confirmation instead of being added automatically.
Do scanned cards show up here on the web too?: Yes. The web app and the mobile app share the same account and collection, always in sync.

Do I need to sync my collection manually?: No, sync runs automatically in the background as soon as you're signed in to the same account on both the web app and the mobile app.
What happens if I edit a card while offline?: Changes are saved locally and synced automatically once you're back online.

What can I configure here?: Currently your display language and tag management. More preferences are on the way.

What's the difference between Lumex and Lumex Pro?: Lumex (the app and this web app) is built for collectors managing their own collection. Lumex Pro is a separate product for dealers, available at pro.lumex-tcg.de.
Do I need a Lumex Pro account to use Lumex?: No, both products work independently and each requires its own account.
