Dynamic Gold Pricing Shopify App
Realtime gold market pricing wired into every product variant.
What we needed to solve.
- Merchant was manually updating hundreds of SKUs whenever the gold spot price moved.
- Pricing formulas varied by karat, weight, and making charge — needed to stay configurable.
- Pricing changes had to reflect on storefront, checkout, and order confirmations consistently.
How it was built.
Embedded Remix app
Built an embedded admin app using Remix and Polaris to manage formulas, margins, and karat tiers in a familiar Shopify UI.
Live market polling
Scheduled jobs poll the gold market feed and recalc affected variants via the Admin GraphQL API in a single batched mutation.
Audit & rollback
Every price change writes a snapshot so merchants can audit history and roll back if a feed publishes a bad value.
The toolkit.
What's live.
The outcome.
Zero manual variant updates after launch.
Batched GraphQL mutations keep updates fast.
Audit log and rollback caught feed anomalies.
Merchandising team freed from manual updates.
The merchant moved from spreadsheet-driven updates to a live, auditable pricing engine — protecting margin on every order while removing operational drag.
