## Description

Dynamic Metal Price Calculator provides live market-rate pricing for WooCommerce
jewellery and precious metals. It automatically computes product prices based on
daily gold and silver rates, metal purity (karat), product weight, and store pricing
rules.

#### Core Highlights

 * **Daily Metal Rates**: Set daily 24K Gold and Silver base prices per gram from
   your admin dashboard.
 * **Metals & Purities**: Complete catalog management for 24K, 22K, 18K, 14K, Silver,
   Platinum, and custom formulas or fixed rates.
 * **Deterministic Pricing**: (Metal Rate * Purity % * Weight) + Base Price + Making
   Charges + Wastage + Markup + Tax + Shipping.
 * **Authoritative Price Rounding**: Clean up odd price totals into shopper-friendly
   figures (None, Nearest 10, 50, 100, or Custom) across cart and checkout.
 * **Product Whitelists**: Restrict metal selections per product.
 * **Variable Products**: Set custom weights, metals, and charges per variation.
 * **Automatic Sale Pricing**: Displays dynamic metal prices as sale prices with
   strikethrough regular prices.
 * **100% Private**: Fully self-contained on your server with zero external calls
   and zero tracking.

## Installation

 1. Log in to your WordPress administrator dashboard.
 2. Navigate to **Plugins** -> **Add New**.
 3. Click **Upload Plugin** and select the `dynamic-metal-price-calculator.zip` package,
    or search for `Dynamic Metal Price Calculator`.
 4. Click **Install Now**, then click **Activate**.
 5. Open **Metal Prices** -> **Metal Rates** in your admin menu.
 6. Enter current 24K Gold and Silver rates per gram and save.
 7. Open any WooCommerce product to assign metal type, weight, and pricing rules.

## FAQ

### How does the pricing calculation work?

The pricing engine computes the product price deterministically:
 1. Resolves base
metal rate (e.g. Gold Rate * Purity % / 100). 2. Multiplies rate by item weight 
in grams. 3. Adds fixed base price (e.g. stones, diamonds, packaging). 4. Adds percentage
making/labour charge. 5. Adds percentage wastage allowance. 6. Adds percentage retail
markup. 7. Adds percentage GST / sales tax. 8. Adds flat shipping fees. 9. Applies
authoritative price rounding (Nearest 10, 50, 100, or Custom increment).

### What is the difference between Active and Show in Dropdown?

 * **Active (On/Off)**: Master switch. Inactive metals cannot be used in calculations
   for new items.
 * **Show in Dropdown (On/Off)**: Visibility switch. Turning this OFF hides the 
   metal from new product selectors while allowing existing products using this 
   metal to continue calculating prices accurately.

### How do I restrict available metals for a specific product?

On the product edit screen, use the **Allowed Metals for this Product** checklist.
Leaving all unchecked allows all globally active metals. Checking one or more metals
restricts that product and its variations to only the checked options.

### How does Price Rounding work?

Price rounding is applied once to the final calculated price using standard half-
up arithmetic:
 * **None**: Exact calculated price. * **Nearest 10**: e.g. 2,254-
> 2,250; 2,256 -> 2,260. * **Nearest 50**: e.g. 2,201 -> 2,200; 2,249 -> 2,250; 
2,276 -> 2,300. * **Nearest 100**: e.g. 2,249 -> 2,200; 2,250 -> 2,300. * **Custom
Increment**: Any numeric increment (e.g. 25, 5, or 0.50). Rounding is authoritative
and carries through into the cart, checkout, payment gateway, and placed orders.

### How do I configure Variable Products?

 1. In a Variable Product, go to the **Variations** tab and expand a variation.
 2. Check the box: **« Use Dynamic Metal Price Calculator for this variation »**.
 3. Select the metal type and enter the variation’s weight in grams.
 4. Leave charge fields blank to inherit parent product or global defaults.
 5. Save variations.

### Can I use custom formulas or fixed rates?

Yes. In the Metals & Purities Manager, choose the **Custom** group:
 * Enter a mathematical
formula referencing variables `gold_rate` or `silver_rate` with `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`,`(`,`)`(
e.g. `gold_rate * 1.25`). * Or simply enter a fixed rate (e.g. `500`) without any
formula. All formulas are parsed using a safe Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) stack
with zero arbitrary code execution.

### What if a metal option does not appear in the product dropdown?

 1. Verify that the metal is **Active** and **Show in Dropdown** is enabled in the 
    Metals & Purities Manager.
 2. Check if the product has an **Allowed Metals** whitelist that excludes this metal.
 3. Save settings and refresh the product editor page.

### Does this plugin fetch live rates from an external API?

No. Store owners enter manual daily rates in **Metal Prices** -> **Metal Rates**.
This gives merchants absolute control over pricing without relying on third-party
API keys or rate limits.

### Can I hide certain charge details from shoppers on the product page?

Yes. In **Metal Prices** -> **Frontend Display Controls**, toggle individual components
on or off. Hidden components remain active in the background calculation.

### Does this plugin send data outside my server?

No. Dynamic Metal Price Calculator is 100% self-contained. It makes zero external
HTTP requests, contains zero tracking, and does not collect or transmit store or
customer data.

### Is the plugin compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?

Yes. The plugin declares official compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS (`custom_order_tables`)
and WooCommerce Cart & Checkout Blocks.
