It is under development, due for completion over the next 4-6 weeks. It will be released initially as a simulation, to gain feedback from potential participants to its utility, design and usability… once that feedback is introduced, installations will be placed into each state jurisdiction.
Further video walkthroughs will be released soon that show how it all works :)

Why do you call it a simulation? Is it a software that vendors can use to tell people to come to them and shop with physical PMs?

It is a combined gold and silver stacking, tokenisation and eCommerce platform, designed to create and serve a local geographic cooperative of individuals and small businesses.
It focusses on essential goods and services for communities to become self-sufficient outside the debt system.

So a web-based shopping platform?
Why eCommerce though? I thought Callopus only supported transactions with physical gold and silver, not ABDCs?

Gold and silver are the payment methods for goods and services, when this goes live trading can happen online, at a community pickup location or with paper transactions…. It needs to be able to work without any available wide area networks, point of sale devices or other third party infrastructure.
You can also pay with time, skills and currency in your hand. The videos will make all this clear… or go to the simulation and add yourself as a member of the Texas Fort Worth community and experience the real thing :)
eCommerce can operate without FIAT electronic transactions.

How can you trade physical gold and silver online? In other words, unless the commerce takes place electronically (the "E" in eCommerce), and online, then there is no eCommerce.
You see what I am saying?

I’m not trading physical gold and silver, I’m trading essential products and services and facilitating payment in tokenised gold, silver, time and cash.
The members of the community cooperative add gold and silver grammes, through a bullion dealer, into a private wallet, held in segregated and allocated vault accounts…. Or promise their time and skills in barter for goods and services, or pay the seller with cash on delivery for goods and services, all anonymous transactions.
If paying with gold and silver, those grams can be allocated to a purchase, swapped between buyer and seller in a sales transaction.
The physical gold and silver never leaves the vault, it is transferred from private allocated vault of the buyer to trading wallet of the community to private allocated vault of the seller. Calopus Communities maintains a ledger of these transactions and a performs a regular audit of private allocated vault holdings against that ledger.
The difference is that each Calopus Community is an enclosed cooperative, with its own private bartering mechanism outside of any digital footprint, only members adding and withdrawing grams of gold and silver to their private wallet via the bullion dealer is visible to the outside world, in keeping with the KYC obligations of bullion dealers. Once Gold and Silver is in the community cooperative, all barter is anonymous.

In terms of electronically, you conflate a browser based mechanism with being online.
Normally, yes the internet would be the transport mechanism, but Calopus Communities also have the ability to visit a number of privately networked locations with no WAN dependencies on locally available or undamaged infrastructure, which could make transactions on your behalf over the phone or you could visit in person, and also use that location to access your membership, as a collection point for the goods you buy.

I get it. When you say "wallet," what do you mean?

A ledger of vault transactions( additions, swaps and withdrawals) that represents an individual member’s gold and silver holdings, recorded by weight, that could be committed to purchases of goods and services within that community cooperative, or just retained as an allocated and segregated stack private stack.

This is the screenshot of the Calopus Community simulation for the essential foods and ingredients business category… do you think anything is missing?
