# StreamIQ

Learn how StreamIQ connects live-shopping activity to the operational workflows that happen before, during, and after a collectibles stream.

## Overview

StreamIQ is CardsIQ's operating layer for collectibles live shopping.

Live marketplaces provide the audience and transaction environment. StreamIQ helps the business manage what happens around that live event.

It connects the show to the operational data and workflows that need to continue after the stream ends.

## Before the Stream

Partners can prepare the operational structure around a live event, including the stream, products, breaks, assignments, and other information needed to connect the show to CardsIQ.

## During the Stream

As the event runs, StreamIQ helps maintain the relationship between the live activity, participating buyers, and collectible outcomes.

This gives the business a structured operational record without changing the customer-facing live-shopping experience.

## After the Stream

The most important part of StreamIQ is what it unlocks next.

Once an outcome is known, CardsIQ can help move the collectible into the appropriate next workflow, including:

* Instant Buybacks
* Reconciliation
* Inventory
* Fulfillment
* Reporting and history

## Connecting Live Commerce to the Business

Without an operating layer, the data created during a live stream often becomes disconnected from the systems used after the show.

StreamIQ is designed to close that gap.

It gives CardsIQ a live-commerce context that can carry into the rest of the platform, allowing businesses to treat a stream as part of their broader operation instead of an isolated event.

## Live Studio

CardsIQ can also support live-production workflows for enabled partners, including StreamIQ-related studio and broadcast tooling.

These capabilities are designed to extend the operating platform into the production side of live commerce where appropriate.
