SpotPro is purpose-built cloud software for **U.S. coin and bullion dealers** — not a generic retail POS adapted for coins. It combines counter point-of-sale, professional buying tools, live metal pricing displays, inventory, labels, ecommerce, dealer-to-dealer wholesale, public auction, optional AI phone/chat, and network listings in one subscription.

Built by operators of **The Coin Shop** (Brighton, Michigan), who run SpotPro in a live shop every day.

**Company:** SpotPRO · 9937 E Grand River Ave, Brighton, MI 48116 · +1 248-446-1445 · info@spotpro.us

- Dealers who buy and sell Morgans, American Silver Eagles, junk silver, scrap gold, slabs, bullion, and show inventory

## Three sales channels, one inventory

| Channel | URL | Buyers | Price style |
|---------|-----|--------|-------------|
| ExtraCoins retail | yourname.extracoins.com | Collectors | Fixed retail |
| Coin Dealer X wholesale | coindealerx.com | Vetted dealers | Fixed wholesale |
| CDX Auction | cdxauction.com | Collectors + dealers | Timed bids / live shows |

**How stock works:**
- SpotPro POS quantity is the source of truth
- The same SKU can list on ExtraCoins, Coin Dealer X, and CDX Auction without retyping titles and photos
- Auction: listing alone does **not** hold quantity; hold starts on **first bid** or **live-show queue**
- ExtraCoins product pages can show when a piece is selling on CDX Auction and block buy while held
- If the last unit sells elsewhere before any auction bid, open no-bid lots can end

---

## Separate products / third-party costs (not the core plan)

1. **AI Call Attendant** — premium add-on (phone AI + website chat with live shop prices/inventory). Packages roughly: Chat ~$29/mo; Starter ~$59; Pro ~$129; Unlimited ~$299. Page: https://spotpro.us/ai-call-attendant
2. **CoinWebHosting** — optional real cPanel hosting on the dealer’s domain (email, WordPress). Separate product; member pricing often from about $10/mo. https://coinwebhosting.com · https://spotpro.us/web-hosting
3. **Greysheet Dealer+ API** — dealer’s subscription; SpotPro integrates it
4. **Twilio** — dealer’s account for SMS when used
5. **Card processors** — Authorize.Net, CARDZ3N, PayPal are dealer merchant relationships

**Spot** is SpotPro’s in-app dealer assistant (product help inside members). It is part of the SpotPro experience — not a third-party support widget.

## Value for a coin shop (why shops use it)

- **One system** instead of generic POS + spreadsheets + eBay + text-message wholesale
- **Live money decisions** — Kitco-linked spot, purchase presets, Greysheet with shop margins
- **Speed at the counter** — NumisNexus buy tickets, barcodes, labels, staff PINs
- **Customer-facing credibility** — Display Screen and Buy Sheet look professional
- **After-hours sales** — ExtraCoins store; optional AI Call Attendant
- **Lower marketplace tax for members on auction** — $0 list / $0 platform FVF on CDX Auction vs double-digit final-value fees on major consumer marketplaces
- **Dealer network** — wholesale, auction, directories, shows — not a lonely POS silo

Example fee contrast (illustrative education only): on a $500 sold lot, marketplace models near ~13% can take roughly $60–$70; SpotPro members on CDX Auction pay **$0 platform FVF**. Card processor fees on the dealer’s own rails remain separate.

## How SpotPro differs from common alternatives (high level)

SpotPro is **not** a drop-in replacement for every tool in every shop. It is the **vertical operating system** for coin/bullion retail:

- Versus **generic POS** (Square, Clover, Shopify POS, etc.): those excel at cards and simple retail; SpotPro adds numismatic buy desk, Greysheet-in-flow, melt boards, show venues, and coin-specific multi-channel inventory.
- Versus **consumer marketplaces** (eBay, Whatnot, major auction houses): those bring traffic and charge meaningful take rates or premiums; SpotPro channels settle on **dealer rails**, with **$0 SpotPro commission** on ExtraCoins and **$0 platform FVF for SpotPro members** on CDX Auction, and shared stock with the floor.
- Versus **data-only tools** (guide books / Greysheet alone): SpotPro *uses* guide data inside buy/sell/inventory workflows rather than tab-switching.
- Versus **“status quo”** (spreadsheets + Facebook groups + retyping listings): SpotPro’s advantage is **one inventory ledger** across counter, web, wholesale, and auction.

There is no widely known full clone that ships POS + NumisNexus-style buying + ExtraCoins + Coin Dealer X + CDX Auction live shows under one subscription. Competition is usually **a stack of partial tools**.
