Installation

Upload plugin files to your plugins folder, or install using WordPress’ built-in Add New Plugin installer
Activate the plugin
Insert/Edit a simple product in WooCommerce
Mark it as Gold Product and select its ‘karat’ value of 24, 22, 18 or 14 to indicate the purity of the gold
Add a Spread % and/or a fee to be added
Fill in its weight value
Update the gold price at WooCommerce -> Gold Price and all products with ‘karat’ field will have their prices updated
Price is calculated as ( ( Karat value * weight ) + spread % ) + fee, e.g. $11 * 1g (= $11) + $2.20 (20% of $11) (= $13.20) + $5.00 = $18.20

FAQ

How many karats can be used?

Only 24k, 22k, 18k and 14k.

Do I need to calculate/inform the price when adding a new gold product?

No, unless you are not going to update the gold prices after adding the product.

Can I have a sale price for gold products?

Yes, but the sale price will be removed when the gold price is updated.

I see no products under “Gold priced products” ( WooCommerce -> Gold Price )

This is because you have no gold products, e.g. products marked as Gold product. See edit product page.

What “Product was on sale, can’t calculate sale price” means?

Means that the product no longer is on sale, as the plugin can’t calculate sale prices and just removed it.
There is a handy link to edit the product, if one whishes to put it on sale again.
