Wizards of the Coast and TCGPlayer are teaming up in support of WPN local game stores.
In the pilot program, which begins this spring, select WPN stores that also have TCGPlayer storefronts will be given the option to display a “WPN” badge.
“By displaying this badge, retailers gain greater marketplace visibility and are recognized as trusted retail partners of Wizards of the Coast, instilling buyer confidence by signaling to customers they are purchasing from a Wizards-verified local game store,” WotC says.
The company further says that TCGplayer shoppers will also be able to filter their search results to include Magic: The Gathering products that are only sold by verified WPN retailers.
