Personalization proof
Grading Cost Onboarding for serious Pokémon grading decisions.
Settings matter because Kardive calculations depend on user-specific defaults. Preferred grading company, fees, region, email preferences and account security all shape the app experience without forcing users to re-enter assumptions.
Decision example
Preferred grading company changes dashboard context.
When a user prefers CGC or BGS, the app should explain that dashboard grading context follows settings.
Preferred graderDefault feesEmail preferences
Identity
Username
The app uses a unique username for display instead of exposing email in the sidebar.
Email safety
Verification
Email changes and account registration use verification workflows.
Account lifecycle
Delete + reset
Password reset and account deletion follow protected account flows.
Why Kardive is different
Compared with price trackers and spreadsheets
| Decision area | Generic tracker | Spreadsheet | Kardive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defaults | Limited preferences. | Manual template. | Costs and preferred grader feed app workflows. |
| Account changes | Account page. | Not relevant. | Verification-aware email, password and deletion flows. |
| Impact | Mostly display. | Formula setup. | Settings influence calculator and dashboard context. |
Workflow
Settings workflow
- 1Create a username at registration.
- 2Complete onboarding defaults.
- 3Update preferences in settings.
- 4Let calculator and dashboard reuse those choices.
Use cases
Where this helps in the real app
Set grading defaults once
Avoid typing the same fees for every card.
Control emails
Keep marketing preferences separate from required account workflows.
Manage account security
Request password reset by email or delete the account through security checks.
Setup the grading model once
Onboarding asks for preferred grading company, shipping, insurance, selling fee and region so future calculator inputs can be prefilled.
- Preferred company
- Default costs
- Region
- Selling fee
Connected to settings
The same values can be edited later from user settings. Dashboard and calculator views reuse the preferred grading company where relevant.
Auth-aware flow
New email users confirm their account, log in, then complete onboarding. Existing users are routed according to their account status.
Reduces repeated work
Defaults keep users from typing the same grading fee and selling fee assumptions for every card they analyze.
How the pieces connect

FAQ
Common questions.
What is Grading Cost Onboarding used for?
Grading Cost Onboarding helps users move from Pokémon card research to a concrete grading decision. Collect default grading costs and preferred grading company immediately after signup so the first real calculation is faster.
Does Grading Cost Onboarding use real Kardive data?
This page describes how the feature works in Kardive: card metadata, raw value, graded prices, user cost defaults, saved assumptions and plan-aware access where relevant.
How is Grading Cost Onboarding different from a price tracker or spreadsheet?
A tracker usually answers what a card is worth, and a spreadsheet depends on manual formulas. Kardive connects the same context to grading-specific decisions: costs, grade outcomes, expected value, risk, saved workflows and plan-aware actions.
How does Grading Cost Onboarding connect to the ROI calculator?
The feature either feeds the calculator, explains a calculator result, saves a calculator scenario or brings the user back when a card needs a fresh ROI check.
Is Grading Cost Onboarding available on every plan?
Free and Pro access depends on the workflow. The public site sends people to login, while Kardive checks limits and Pro features inside the app.
