Live Pricing Updates
Product prices for gold, silver, and platinum are automatically updated every 2 minutes, ensuring accurate and up-to-date values powered by a reliable metal price API. This functionality was custom-built using advanced code and ACF fields tailored for each WooCommerce product. Key fields include metal type, currency, weight unit (oz/gram), weight, and markup—enabling precise calculations for dynamic pricing.
To automate the updates seamlessly, I implemented a custom scheduler event cron that triggers the price update every 2 minutes. The process is closely monitored using the WP Crontrol plugin, which ensures the cron jobs are executed as expected.
Additionally, I incorporated price validation security conditions to guarantee reliability. These conditions prevent prices from being set to 0 or null and ensure that only valid numeric float values are accepted, maintaining accuracy and stability for live pricing.

Custom Checkout
Once you reach checkout, prices are locked for 5 minutes to ensure stability, even with frequent updates. This feature was implemented because product prices are updated every 2 minutes, which could otherwise disrupt the checkout experience. To address this, we created a custom solution that saves the current checkout price in cache for 5 minutes. During this time, the total remains fixed, providing you with a consistent and stable price.
After the 5-minute window expires, the checkout total will automatically refresh to reflect the latest live prices, and a new 5-minute price lock will begin. This ensures a smooth and predictable checkout process while maintaining the accuracy of dynamically updated prices.
