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

   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. SpotPro quantity is the source of truth so a sale in one place can protect 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 Market-hours pause and external listings

   Under Configuration → Online Pricing → U.S. market hours, when Pause online metal sales when US market is closed is on: ExtraCoins checkout and Auction spot Buy Now quiet as usual. On linked eBay/Shopify/Square/Woo/BigCommerce listings, SpotPro sets available qty to 0 for in-scope items so they cannot be bought at a stale spot price, then restores SpotPro qty when the market reopens. 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.
