Marketplace Connections (eBay, Shopify & more)

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1 Open Marketplace Connections

   In the left sidebar: Ecommerce → Marketplaces (or search “marketplace”). You will see eBay, Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce cards plus how ExtraCoins and CDX Auction fit in.

2. 2 All five APIs + SpotPro channels = up to 7 places

   SpotPro does not replace eBay or Shopify — those stay your public storefronts. SpotPro is the shop system underneath (counter, inventory, prices, packing). Pure marketplace or cart software is not a coin-shop POS. Yes — you can connect all five external marketplaces at once (eBay, Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, BigCommerce). They are real API integrations, not “pick one maybe.” With the same barcode/SKU linked, one inventory item can be listed on: (1) ExtraCoins, (2) CDX Auction, (3) eBay, (4) Shopify, (5) Square, (6) WooCommerce, (7) BigCommerce — more online exposure, one stock count. SpotPro quantity is the source of truth so a sale in one place updates the others. Coin Dealer X wholesale is an optional additional dealer-to-dealer lane.

3. 3 Save credentials and test live

   Expand a platform card. Paste developer / Admin API credentials, then Save & test. SpotPro calls the real API and shows Connected or the error message. Leave blank fields to keep previously saved secrets.

4. 4 Link inventory by SKU

   When Connected, click Link by SKU. SpotPro pulls the marketplace catalog and matches SKUs to SpotPro barcodes / master codes / product keys. Matched rows appear under Linked listings.

5. 5 Sync quantity

   Click Push qty / sync on a platform (or after a POS sale of linked stock). SpotPro on-hand quantity is written to each linked listing so you do not double-sell. Think “keep listings current,” not a one-way dump-and-forget.

6. 6 Update prices (live spot for bullion)

   Click Update prices / Update all prices. SpotPro sell price is used: gold/silver bullion and junk use live metal spot + your premiums; collectibles use fixed / Greysheet sell math. A scheduled job runs about every 5 minutes for connected shops (spot can move a lot in 20 minutes). On many other platforms, multi-channel live price automation is a separate paid module or connector — SpotPro includes this for connected marketplaces (do not invent third-party module dollar prices; shops compare their own quotes).

7. 7 Online metal protection and external listings

   Under Configuration → Online Pricing → Market hours, when Protect online metal sales is on: ExtraCoins checkout and Auction spot Buy Now follow your policy (sell while tape is live or U.S. session only), and always pause if the spot feed is stale or down. On linked eBay/Shopify/Square/Woo/BigCommerce listings, SpotPro sets available qty to 0 for in-scope items while protection is active, then restores SpotPro qty when it clears. SpotPro cannot turn off checkout on those external sites — qty 0 is the purchase block.

8. 8 Import orders (sale on marketplace → SpotPro)

   When a paid order lands on eBay, Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce, SpotPro can import it: create a real SpotPro order (tagged with that marketplace), decrement linked stock, update remaining qty on every other linked channel, and surface it on Ecommerce → Orders (Marketplaces chip) and Ship Desk for packing/labels. Use Sync orders on a platform card or Sync orders now in the hero. A cron job also pulls about every 10 minutes. Optional per-platform webhook URL for near-real-time import. Same external order id is never double-imported.

9. 9 eBay bid safety

   eBay price updates only run when the listing has no bids. Active auctions with bids are skipped so SpotPro never revises a bidding auction.

10. 10 How CDX Auction differs

    CDX Auction is not configured on this page. List from Inventory / auction tools as a SpotPro member ($0 list / $0 CDX sell fee). Auction stock holds start on bid or live show queue and reconcile with the storefront. See CDX Auction overview.

11. 11 CSV import when you have no API

    One-time migrations: Import inventory and Import customers & orders. Live marketplace sales use Sync orders / webhooks above, not CSV.
