Bulk Actions & Pro Tips

Work faster with batch operations and power-user features

Bulk Actions

Confirm All Links

  • In batch review, click the double-check icon in the header
  • Accepts all suggestions with 80%+ confidence in one click
  • Shows a summary toast: "12 links confirmed (8 purchases, 3 sales, 1 grading)"
  • Then use the "Needs Linking" filter to handle the remaining cards manually

Batch-Level Auto-Link Sweep

  • When you open a batch for review, CardZen automatically runs fuzzy matching across all cards
  • Click the refresh links button (chain icon) to re-run if you've imported new purchases or sales since the last sweep
  • No need to click into each card — suggestions generate for the whole batch at once

CSV Bulk Import

  • Purchases and sales both support CSV import for importing months of history at once
  • Download the template first to see the expected format
  • Preview mode lets you verify data before it's imported

Filters & Organization

Batch Review Filters

  • Review status: Pending | Flagged | Approved | All
  • Link status: Linked | Has Suggestions | Needs Linking
  • Combine filters — e.g., "Flagged + Needs Linking" to find cards that need the most attention

Purchase Filters

  • All | Needs Action | Open | Unlinked | Archived
  • "Unlinked" finds purchases with no cards connected — great for finding gaps

Sales Filters

  • All | Needs Linking | Pending | Completed | Returned | eBay
  • "Needs Linking" highlights sales without a card connected

Pro Tips

The optimal onboarding order for maximum auto-linking

  1. 1
    Connect eBay and sync purchases + sales (free, takes 30 seconds)
  2. 2
    Upload CSV for historical data older than eBay's API limits
  3. 3
    Start capturing cards — they'll auto-link to your imported data
  4. 4
    Open batch review → check the link summary bar → Confirm All → done

Naming batches for better matching

  • Include the seller name: "stevebcards March haul"
  • Include the source: "eBay lot 2024 Topps Chrome"
  • The auto-link engine scores seller name matches in batch names as a bonus

Working both directions

  • After capturing: check batch review for card → purchase/sale suggestions
  • After importing: check purchase workspace for purchase → card suggestions
  • Both views show suggestions — confirm from whichever side you prefer

Token management

  • AI Quick Add (receipts, invoices, documents) costs 1 token each
  • Card capture is free — AI OCR doesn't consume tokens
  • eBay sync and CSV import are free
  • Manual entry is free
  • Prioritize free methods for bulk onboarding, save tokens for receipts and invoices
