Two Tools for Local Precious Metals Pros: Live Price Widgets & Instant Buyback Calculator

If you run a local gold buyer, jewelry store, pawn shop, or refiner, you need two things: visitors who already know today’s prices, and a fast, transparent way to make buyback offers. We’ve built exactly that: an embeddable live price widget for your website and a buyback calculator for your counter. Both use the same real-time precious metals data — so your customers see one consistent story from screen to store.

Live prices on your website

Your website is often the first touchpoint. When someone searches for “gold price near me” or “what are silver prices today,” you want your business to show up — and you want your page to answer the question. Our embed widget displays current gold, silver, platinum, and palladium prices directly on your site. No coding required: create a widget in your dashboard, copy the embed code or shortcode, and drop it into your WordPress or HTML page. Your API key stays on the server, so it’s secure and safe. Prices refresh automatically, so your site always shows up-to-date rates. The result? Visitors arrive already informed—and more likely to trust you when they walk in.

Instant buyback prices at your counter

When a customer stands in front of you with jewelry to sell, they want a fair offer — and they want to see how you got there. The buyback calculator gives you exactly that. Enter metal, alloy, and weight; get an offer based on real-time market bid prices and your own markdown. You can run multiple calculators (e.g. one per location or product type),  use it on a tablet at the counter. Support for all common alloys—gold, silver, platinum, palladium — and 161 currencies makes it suitable for local buyers, jewelers, pawn shops, and small refiners alike.

One platform, two ways to win

Use the widget to attract and educate visitors before they step through your door. Use the buyback calculator to close the deal with clear, defensible numbers when they do. Both tools run on the same FreeGoldPrice API — so the prices on your website and the prices in your calculator stay in sync. Less confusion, more trust, and a smoother path from “what’s the price?” to “here’s my offer.”
