by Vimal Kava

(9 ratings)

Stop calculating jewelry prices by hand. Set your price per gram once, enter each product’s weight, and the plugin does the math.

Price = Metal Rate per Gram × Product Weight

Quick Example

  • Gold rate: $100/g
  • Product weight: 5g
  • Product price: $500

Gold rate goes up to $110/g? The same product automatically becomes $550. No need to edit every product.
