Free Gold & Silver Price Widget

In the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), click the + button to add a new block and search for "Custom HTML." Paste the embed code into the block and click Preview to verify it loads correctly. You can add the widget to any post, page, or sidebar widget area.

If you're using the Classic Editor, switch to the Text tab (not Visual) and paste the iframe code where you want the widget to appear. For sidebar placement, go to Appearance → Widgets, add a Custom HTML widget, and paste the code there.

In Shopify, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize. Add a Custom Liquid section (or a Custom HTML block if your theme supports it) and paste the embed code. The widget works in any Shopify theme and can be placed in the header, footer, sidebar, or product pages.

For blog posts, use Shopify's rich text editor and switch to the HTML view to paste the iframe code directly into the content.

The MeltValue widget is designed for anyone who wants to display live gold and silver prices on their website. Common use cases include:

• Coin dealers — Show current spot prices alongside your inventory so buyers can compare melt value to your asking price. Builds trust and reduces tire-kicker inquiries.
• Pawn shops — Display today's gold and silver prices in your sidebar or footer. Customers appreciate transparency, and it saves staff from answering "what's gold at today?" ten times a day.
• Jewelry stores — Help customers understand why gold jewelry prices fluctuate. A live ticker next to your product listings adds context and professionalism.
• Precious metals blogs — Complement your market commentary with a real-time price widget. Readers stay on your site instead of leaving to check prices elsewhere.
• Numismatic forums — Give community members instant price context when discussing coin values, without cluttering threads with outdated quotes.
• Financial advisors — Add commodity prices to your client-facing portal or newsletter landing page. The widget updates automatically, so your content never looks stale.

Whether you run a coin shop, a precious metals blog, a jewelry store, or a financial news site, displaying live gold and silver prices adds real value for your visitors. Real-time pricing helps build trust and keeps users on your page longer — both of which improve engagement and SEO performance.

Most precious metals widgets require an API key, a paid subscription, or complex JavaScript integration. The MeltValue widget is different: it's a single iframe tag that loads in milliseconds and updates automatically. No sign-up, no API key, no dependencies. Choose between light and dark themes to match your site design, and pick standard or compact sizing to fit your layout.

Built for Performance

The widget is under 3KB and uses lazy loading, so it won't affect your Core Web Vitals or page speed scores. It's fully responsive, working seamlessly on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Prices are sourced from global commodity markets and displayed in US dollars per troy ounce.
