Real Time Price update tool

[Cyno]

Hello Guys,

I am working on a jewelery shop, and as we all know that Gold prices fluctuate every day so is there any way to address this matter?
Is there any way to update product prices based on gold rate in real time or at least once in a day?

Please help, any suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated,

Thanks & Regards,
CYNO

There is a realtime currency update tool in Prestashop in the Payment > Currency section, but it requires you click the button to update. It reads the feed http://www.prestashop.com/xml/currencies.xml to update. Unfortunately, I don't see XAU (the ISO code for gold in ounces) in the feed, so you can't use it get gold prices. I guess you would need to create a new feed in the same format and then change line 214 in classes/Currencies to point to the new feed. You could then just click the button as usual to update the gold price.

Hi samuelprabhu

 

I am currently working on a jewelery shop and the project is similar as yours. The customer wants the price of each product to be displayed according on the current gold rate.

Have you done anything on that?

Any idea how I could implement that?

 

Thanks in advance.
