This plugin is designed for variable products where each variation represents a different metal type or weight. Simple products are not supported.
The plugin fetches rates in your WooCommerce store currency. If the API does not support your currency directly, set a Manual USD Exchange Rate on the settings page and the plugin converts automatically.
The free version updates rates once daily. Pro supports hourly and twice-daily updates for more accurate pricing throughout the trading day.
A Pro feature that replaces standard WooCommerce dropdowns with styled buttons. They detect metal types, apply metallic gradient styles, normalize names, and disable out-of-stock options automatically.
