WooCommerce Precious Metals WooCommerce Precious Metals

Need to sell precious metals and automatically adjust metal prices?

Need to price your products based on their content of gold, silver, platinum or palladium?

 

WooCommerce Precious Metals gets the job done fast and efficiently by automatically downloading the current precious metal spot prices and adjusting the retail prices of your metal products. This greatly reduces your store pricing management and helps to protect against underpricing or overpricing your products.

Watch the video demo:

 

The plugin works for gold prices, silver prices, platinum prices, and palladium prices, and can be used with any form of metal sales, including coins, bars, bullion, jewelery, plated items, and more.

Here’s how it works: You create products, set the markup amount for each product, and assign the product to specific metal-related categories. With that done, the plugin automatically sets your retail prices based on the markup amount you define.

For example, lets say you’re selling 1 ounce US Gold Eagles, and you want the price of each coin to be spot price plus $50. Simply set your markup amount to 50 and you’re done. Or maybe you want to mark up the price by 10%. No problem, just set your markup amount to 10% and you’re done.

WooCommerce Precious Metals is absolutely the most powerful and feature rich precious metals solution available for WooCommerce.
