If you've bought from APMEX, JM Bullion, or Kitco over the years, your purchase history already exists — here's how to bring it into a tracker instead of re-entering everything by hand.
Short answer: major dealers like APMEX, JM Bullion, and Kitco let you export your order history, and a tracker built to accept those exports can map metal type, weight, purity, purchase price, and purchase date automatically — turning years of scattered orders into a complete, accurate portfolio in minutes rather than requiring manual re-entry of every single purchase.
If you've been buying from a major dealer for any length of time, your purchase history — dates, prices, item descriptions — already exists in your account's order history. Re-typing years of that data by hand into a spreadsheet or tracker is slow and introduces transcription errors that a direct import avoids entirely.
Each major dealer's export format differs slightly — APMEX typically identifies metal type through the product name with weight parsed from there; JM Bullion's exports follow a similar item-name-based structure; Kitco's exports tend to separate metal, weight in troy ounces, fineness, and date into more explicit fields. See our dedicated import guides for APMEX, JM Bullion, and Kitco for the exact field mapping each one uses.
Even a good automated import benefits from a quick review afterward — spot-check a handful of imported holdings against the original order confirmations to confirm weight, purity, and price came through correctly, especially for any order with an unusual product name the parser might not have handled perfectly.
If you have years of purchase history, importing it is almost always worth the one-time setup effort — it gives you an accurate historical cost basis and complete collection record from day one, rather than starting your tracked history from today and treating everything bought before as untracked.
