Gold Price Live

Gold Price Live puts precious metals prices anywhere on your WordPress site — as simple shortcodes, polished widgets, or Gutenberg blocks. Built for bullion dealers, coin shops, jewellers, gold buyers, pawn brokers and anyone whose visitors care what gold is worth right now.

Prices work the moment you activate the plugin — no account, no API key, no configuration. Free prices update at the daily close; connect a free Gold Feed account and upgrade any time for real-time prices that update every 20 seconds across your whole site, automatically.

Nine widgets, ready to drop in

Every widget is a Gutenberg block, a shortcode, and a saved preset — pick whichever fits your workflow:

• Price Ticker — a scrolling strip of live spot prices
• Spot Price Table — bid, ask and daily change for each metal
• Price Chart — interactive history with 1D to 10Y ranges and 17+ currencies
• Price Cards — clean per-metal tiles
• Melt Value Calculator — visitors price their own gold by weight and purity; the strongest engagement tool a gold buyer’s site can have
• Metal Spotlight — one metal, hero-sized
• Performance — change over multiple periods
• Gold/Silver Ratio — the classic, live
• Multi-Unit Prices — troy ounce, gram, kilo and pennyweight side by side

Style them in the built-in widget studio: light and dark themes or full custom colours, your fonts, text scale, corner radius — with a live preview that is the real widget, exactly as visitors will see it. Save any design as a preset and reuse it everywhere with one shortcode.

Shortcodes for every value

Show the gold price in a sentence, a table, a sidebar — anywhere shortcodes work:

[gold_bid] `[gold_ask]` `[gold_high]` `[gold_low]` `[gold_dollar_change]` `[gold_percent_change]` — and the same six for silver, platinum and palladium.

Real dealer math, built in:

[gold_bid currency="cad" unit="g" weight="10" purity="0.750" payout="0.85"]

That is the CAD gold price per gram × 10 grams × 18k fineness × an 85% payout — the exact number you would quote across the counter, updating with the market. Parameters: currency, unit (toz/pw/g), weight, purity, payout, multiplyby, fixedamount, decimals, exchange, and animation for live colour-flash updates in the visitor’s browser.

Fast and reliable by design

• One cached price request feeds every shortcode on the page — not a request per shortcode
• Widgets load lazily in iframes and never block your page
• If the feed is briefly unreachable, the last good prices keep rendering — never blanks, never zeros
• Per-metal decimals and round-to-nearest so displayed prices land on the steps you actually quote

Free vs real-time

• Free: every widget and every shortcode, prices at the daily close, Gold Feed attribution on widgets
• Gold Feed plan: prices update every 20 seconds on everything, attribution optional, full REST API access at gold-feed.com — and upgrading requires zero changes to your pages: subscribe from inside wp-admin and the whole site switches to live automatically
