Personalization proof
User Settings and Grading Defaults 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.

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. |

Where this helps in the real app

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.
Defaults feed the calculator
User settings provide preferred grading company, default shipping, insurance, selling fee and region so new calculations start closer to reality.

- Insurance default
- Selling fee default
Account controls
The account section handles username, email changes, marketing email preference, password reset by email and account deletion with protected confirmation steps.
- Username
- Email preference
- Reset password email
- Delete account
Registration support
The register form checks username availability in real time, shows a loader in the input and offers clickable suggestions when a username is already taken.
Security-sensitive workflows
Email changes require verification, password changes follow the reset-password flow, and account deletion is coordinated with Stripe subscription state.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is User Settings and Grading Defaults used for?
User Settings and Grading Defaults helps users move from Pokémon card research to a concrete grading decision. Configure default grading company, shipping, insurance, selling fee, region and email preferences so calculations start with realistic assumptions.
Does User Settings and Grading Defaults 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 User Settings and Grading Defaults 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 User Settings and Grading Defaults 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 User Settings and Grading Defaults 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.
