Question 1

How does receipt scanning work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI-powered scanning technology extracts transaction details from your precious metals receipts. Simply upload a photo or PDF of your receipt, and we'll automatically identify the metal type, weight, purity, and purchase details. To preserve your privacy, personal details, if present (such as name, address, and phone number), are never extracted from the receipts.

Question 2

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data storage and transmission. You can choose to use an anonymous username for maximum privacy, and you have the option to opt out of storing your receipts on our server. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

Question 3

What metals do you support?

Accepted Answer

StackerScan supports all major precious metals: Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Copper, and Nickel. We track various forms including coins, bars, rounds, and other bullion products from recognized mints and refiners. Numismatic coins are valued at their precious metal content only, not collector premiums.

Question 4

How are prices updated?

Accepted Answer

We update precious metals prices every ten minutes using data from MetalpriceAPI. Your portfolio value reflects current spot prices, allowing you to track your investment performance accurately throughout the trading day.

Question 5

Where can I access StackerScan?

Accepted Answer

StackerScan can be accessed from one login account on the web (https://stackerscan.com/login), Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stackerscan/id6754351177), or Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stackerscan.www.twa).

Question 6

Why does my iPhone photo upload as an HEIC with a random name?

Accepted Answer

iPhones use HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) as the default format for photos. StackerScan supports HEIC but a generic filename is assigned. To preserve a filename of your choice, convert your photo to a standard JPEG before uploading using Quick Actions in Finder (Mac) or the Files app (iPhone).
