Set your rates
Today's 24K gold, silver and platinum. Your touch per karat, your making charges, your diamond and gemstone rates. Entered once, changed in seconds.
Weigh one piece in one metal, tell us the stone carats — MetalIQ works out every metal, every stone size and every length on that product, from today's rate.
Gold moves every morning, and every price on that piece moves with it.
The same pendant in six metals, at four centre-stone sizes, on three chain lengths is seventy-two prices — for one product. Re-keying them by hand is not a job anyone finishes before the rate moves again.
So the prices sit still. When gold rises you sell at yesterday's rate and lose the margin. When it falls you sit above the market and lose the sale.
Illustrative — one pendant you sell
One move in the gold rate changes all seventy-two. You entered one weight and one carat figure. This arithmetic is an example, not a measurement of your store.
Five example pieces, priced from one 24K rate. Change the rate, the making charge or the safety limit and see what MetalIQ would put in front of you before anything is written.
Today's 24K gold, silver and platinum. Your touch per karat, your making charges, your diamond and gemstone rates. Entered once, changed in seconds.
Weigh one piece in one metal and the rest are derived. Melee carats, centre stones by size, chain length, sold as a pair. Once per product, not once per day.
Every new price beside the old one. Jumps past your safety limit are held. Update everything in the run, or only the products you pick.
MetalIQ prices every size for you. You build the size choice in Shopify the way you always have — one variant per size — and MetalIQ finds it by name and prices each size from its own carat band on your rate sheet. It even adds the extra gold a larger centre needs, once you have told it which centre was in the piece when you weighed it.
Your customers keep using your theme's normal selector. MetalIQ makes sure the price behind every option is right, every morning.
Set up once: two things must be true for MetalIQ to see your centre-size option. The option name must contain Carat, Diamond Weight or Diamond Size, and each value must start with the carat number — 1.00 ct, not 6.5 mm and not “Half carat”.
Five ways jewellery is actually sold. Find yours, and you can see what you would have to tell the app.
Ring-size variants are handled as-is: each size takes the price MetalIQ works out for its metal. See all five in full
Letting software touch your prices is the hardest part of this idea. So the app is built the other way round: it calculates freely, and it writes only on your word.
Old price and new price, side by side, for every variant in the run. You read the list before it exists in your store.
You choose the limit — 10%, 25%, 50%, or no holds at all. Anything past it is set aside for your approval instead of written.
Every run is recorded. Roll one back and your prices return to precisely what they were before it ran.
Generic pricing tools ask for a percentage. Jewellery does not work that way, and the difference is where the money is.
If you switch on the storefront display, your shoppers see finished figures — metal, making, stones, total. That is all the storefront ever receives.
Your rate sheet, your touch percentages, your markups and your stone rates stay inside the app. They are never sent to the theme, so they cannot be read from a browser.
Leaves the app
Metal value, making charge, stones, total — the same numbers a customer can already add up from your product page.
Never leaves the app
Rate sheet, touch per karat, making percentages, stone rates, grade adjustments, category markups, price floors.
MetalIQ is not on the Shopify App Store yet. Tell us about your store and we will get you on early access.
Step one and two you do once. Step three you do whenever the rate moves — and it always shows you the whole list before it writes a single price.
One screen holds your whole cost model. The 24K gold rate you paid today, and the purity you actually work to at each karat — your 18K, not karat divided by 24. Making charge as a percentage on gold; on silver and platinum, flat per gram or a percentage, whichever your books use.
Enter rates per gram or per troy ounce, in any of several currencies. What gets stored never changes — only what you type and what you read.
Stones sit beside them: lab-grown, moissanite and natural priced separately, the centre stone by carat size band, melee on a flat per-carat rate, and coloured gemstones on their own rate. Clarity, cut and colour grades can add or subtract a percentage — on the centre and large stones only, never on melee.
Before you save, preview impact tells you how many prices would move and which products move most.
This is the work, and you only do it once per product. Weigh one piece in one metal. MetalIQ derives the weight in every other metal you offer, and you can correct any of them by hand when the bench tells you otherwise.
Then the stones: melee total carats, coloured gemstone carats, and large stones priced individually by size — each able to carry its own clarity, cut and colour. For chains, record the length the weight was taken at and the chain's own weight; other lengths scale from it, and “pendant only” leaves the chain out. Earrings sold as a pair are entered once and priced for both.
Exceptions are per product too: a markup override, and a was-price percentage. If you would rather work in a spreadsheet, export the answers as CSV, fill them in, and import them back.
This is the moment that matters. Every new price is shown next to the old one — the whole run, on one screen, before anything reaches your store. You read it the way you would read a costing sheet, and then you decide.
Anything that jumps past the safety limit you chose — 10%, 25%, 50%, or no holds — is held for your approval instead of written. Update everything in the run, or tick only the products you want.
Change a product's weight or its stones and the price follows within about half a minute. Your safety limit still applies, so a large jump is still held.
Run it over everything the run covers when the rate moves, or select a handful of products — a new collection, one supplier's pieces, the window display.
If a rate was mistyped or a stone rate was out of date, you do not need to remember what the prices were. Open the run history, roll the run back, and every price returns to exactly what it was before it ran.
Four groups: the rate sheet, the answers you give per product, how the store gets updated, and what your shoppers can see.
Asked once per piece, in the language you already use on the bench.
The five shapes jewellery is actually sold in, and what each one needs from you. All five are built.
| What you sell | What you tell MetalIQ | What MetalIQ prices |
|---|---|---|
| Set stone, one sizeA pendant or ring with one fixed centre stone. | The metal weight, the centre carats, any melee. | Every metal, from one weighing. |
| Centre stone the customer choosesThe same design in 0.50 / 1.00 / 1.50 ct. | The metal weight, and which centre was in the piece when you weighed it. | Each size from its own carat band — and the extra gold a bigger centre needs. |
| Bracelet sold in several lengths6.5″, 7″, 7.5″. | The weight, and which length you weighed. | Every other length scaled from it — metal and stones together. |
| Pendant on its ownPendant only, no chain. | The pendant's weight and stones. | Every metal. A “Pendant Only” option correctly leaves the chain out. |
| Pendant with a chain, in several chain lengthsPendant + 16″ / 18″ / 20″ chain. | The pendant weight, the chain's own weight, and the length each was measured at. | The pendant plus the chain, with the chain scaling by its own length — gold chains add their grams as-is, silver and platinum convert. |
For the second shape, set up your option once: the option name must contain Carat, Diamond Weight or Diamond Size, and each value must start with the carat number (1.00 ct — not 6.5 mm, not “Half carat”). MetalIQ does not add a size picker to your product page; it prices the option you already have, and your theme's own selector does the rest.
Ring-size variants are handled as-is: each size takes the price MetalIQ works out for its metal. Necklaces and bracelets are the ones that scale — tell MetalIQ which length you weighed and every other length prices itself from it.
Separate markups for rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces and pendants.
A floor no calculated price may fall below, whatever the rate does.
Set how the “was” price is calculated, per store or per product.
A regional setting for stores that need it. Leave it off if you do not.
We would rather answer a question about touch or stone bands now than have you find out after installing.
A customer who can see metal, making and stones separately is not guessing at your margin — they are reading a costing sheet. It answers the “why so expensive?” email before it is written, and it explains why the price is different from last week without anyone having to apologise for it.
Today's rates in a slim strip, in dark, champagne or light — matched to your theme, not to ours. Choose which metals appear.
The strip shows the rates you entered, in your store's currency and unit. Pick the theme and the metals in your theme editor — this is the same control you get there.
Under the price on the product page: metal value, making charge, stones, total. You set the heading and the accent colour so it reads as part of your theme.
Example figures on an example product.
This is worth saying plainly, because it is the part a competitor could read if it were built carelessly. The storefront only ever receives finished display figures — the four numbers a shopper sees. Your rate sheet, your touch percentages, your making charges, your stone rates and your markups are never sent to the theme, so they cannot be read from a browser, a page source, or a network tab.
And while the extension is off, nothing renders at all — your storefront looks exactly as it does today.
Every plan carries the whole pricing engine, the preview, your safety limit and undo. What the price changes is scale, automation, the storefront widget and how you reach us — never whether a price comes out right.
MetalIQ prices up to 250 products, and every variant on each of them — a 250-product catalogue in eleven metals and six lengths is over 16,000 prices. Larger store? Write to us; we’re extending this.

Preview, safety limits and undo are in every plan — including the free one. We do not charge you to be careful with your own prices.
A jeweller's first question is never whether the app is cheap. It is whether software is going to change prices without asking. The answer has to be the same on every plan, so it is: anything that decides whether a price is correct sits in all four. Only scale, automation, the storefront display and how you reach us are gated.
The full engine and the whole safety net. This is not a trimmed version of the app.
No jeweller counts their variants, so here is the arithmetic. A variant is every option combination on a product — each metal, each centre size, each length.
11 metals × 6 chain lengths = 66 variants
That is one pendant. About 150 products like it comes to roughly 10,000 variants.
Starter
900 single-metal pieces, a few sizes each
Mostly plain stock with one or two options reaches about 10,000 variants too.

40 pieces × 11 metals = 440 variants

Shopify shows your variant count on the Products page. If you are close to a limit, we will tell you rather than let you guess.
Only four things: how many variants a run covers, automation, the storefront display, and how you reach us. Everything that decides whether a price is correct is in all four plans.

MetalIQ prices up to 100 variants per product. If a product has more, we tell you which ones rather than pricing part of it silently.
Setting up means entering weights for real pieces, and a week is not enough to finish that and then watch a rate move through it. The trial runs 14 days on every paid plan.
Shopify does. The charge appears on your normal Shopify invoice, with the rest of your apps.
Any time, from inside the app. No call, no email, no notice period.
Nothing breaks, and no price is ever written wrong. We tell you, and ask you to move up a plan.
Your prices stay exactly as they are. Nothing is reverted or changed.
No. Update your rates as often as you like — plans are sized by catalogue, not by how often you use it.
If yours is not here, write to us — info@dcpltechnology.com.
No. Nothing is written to your store until you press update. You see every new price beside its old one first, and jumps past your safety limit are held for approval rather than written.
There is one automatic case, and it is worth knowing about: if you edit a product's weight or stones, its price follows within about half a minute — because you have just changed the piece. Your safety limit still applies there too.
Every run is recorded and can be rolled back. Roll it back and your prices return to exactly what they were before that run — you do not need to have written the old numbers down.
Then correct the rate or the product answer that caused it, and run the preview again.
No. If you switch on the storefront display, it receives finished display figures only — metal value, making charge, stones, total.
Your rate sheet, touch percentages, making percentages, stone rates, grade adjustments and markups are never sent to the theme, so they cannot be read from a browser. And with the display switched off, nothing renders at all.
You do not have to. Grades are recorded against the product, not as Shopify variants, and they are optional. Leave them empty and the stone prices from your carat rate alone.
If you do use them, the adjustment applies to the centre and large stones only — never to melee.
Enter rates in any of several supported currencies, per gram or per troy ounce — whichever way your supplier quotes them. What MetalIQ stores does not change; only what you type and what you read on screen.
Stores in India, the UK, the US and the Gulf all work the same way.
Lab-grown, moissanite and natural are priced separately, each with its own rates, because they differ by roughly tenfold. One rate for all three would be wrong for all three.
Mark the product as sold as a pair and enter one earring. Both are priced. It is the one place where doubling by hand causes the most mistakes, so the app does it.
No. Only the rate. The per-piece answers — weight, stones, length, pair — are entered once and stay. Your daily routine is: type the rate, read the preview, press update.
Your prices stay exactly as they are. Nothing is reverted, nothing is changed, and the storefront display stops rendering. Uninstalling is not a price event.
No, and we would rather say so plainly. Ring-size variants are handled as-is: each size takes the price MetalIQ works out for its metal.
Length is the measurement that does scale. Tell MetalIQ which length you weighed a necklace or bracelet at, and every other length prices itself from it.
Keep building the size choice in Shopify the way you already do — one variant per size. MetalIQ finds that option and prices each size from its own carat band, adding the extra gold a larger centre needs, once you have told it which centre was in the piece when you weighed it.
Two things must be true for it to see the option: the option name must contain Carat, Diamond Weight or Diamond Size, and each value must start with the carat number — 1.00 ct, not 6.5 mm and not “Half carat”.
MetalIQ does not add a size picker or a ring builder to your product page. Your theme's own selector keeps doing that; MetalIQ makes sure the price behind each option is right.
Send us your karats, the stone types you carry and roughly how many products you have. We will tell you honestly whether MetalIQ fits your store.
Get early accessNone of this is difficult, but it is much easier gathered in one sitting than hunted down field by field. Tick as you go — the list is kept in this browser, so you can come back to it. Nothing is sent anywhere.
The cost model you already work to. Entered once, and then only the rate changes day to day.
Three things on the store side. The first one is the most common cause of a wrong price, so it is worth checking before you start.
Rather than guess, send us what you have — even half of it. We will tell you what is missing and what your first run would look like.
We build one thing: software that prices metal-based jewellery correctly. MetalIQ is that work, made for Shopify stores.
A jewellery price is not a number someone chose. It is metal weight times purity times today's rate, plus making, plus stones, plus your markup — and it changes every morning. MetalIQ does that arithmetic across every combination of a piece and then stops, so that a person decides what reaches the store.
We work in the trade's own terms — touch, making, melee, centre stone, hallmark — because a tool that renames them is a tool you have to translate before you can trust it.
MetalIQ is not yet listed on the Shopify App Store. Stores are being onboarded through early access, one at a time, so that setup gets a real conversation rather than a help article.
Karats you carry, stone types, roughly how many products. That is enough for us to tell you whether MetalIQ fits and what setting it up would involve. If you would rather prepare first, there is a short list of what to have ready.
We read every message ourselves.

MetalIQ is operated by DCPL TECHNOLOGY PRIVATE LIMITED, 1011, Silver Trade Center, Nr. VIP Circle, Utran, Mota Varachha, Surat — 394105, Gujarat, India. DCPL Technology Private Limited is the data controller for the information described here. Write to info@dcpltechnology.com with any privacy question or request.
When you install MetalIQ on a Shopify store, it reads and writes the product and pricing information it needs to do its job: products, variants, prices, compare-at prices, collections, tags, and the store's currency and locale settings. It also stores the figures you enter yourself — your rate sheet, touch percentages, making charges, stone rates, category markups, price floors, per-product answers, and the history of pricing runs.
MetalIQ does not need and does not request your customers' personal information, orders, or payment details.
If you switch on the optional storefront display, the theme receives finished display figures only — metal value, making charge, stones, total, and the rates you have chosen to show. Your cost model is never sent to the storefront. While the display is switched off, nothing is rendered and nothing is sent.
To calculate prices, to show you a preview before anything is written, to write the prices you approve, to keep a run history so a run can be rolled back, and to answer your support messages.
Your rate sheet, product answers and run history are kept while the app is installed so that rollback remains possible. Retention period after uninstall — to be confirmed by the owner. Uninstalling MetalIQ does not change your prices; they remain exactly as they were.
MetalIQ runs on Shopify's platform and on hosting and infrastructure services engaged by DCPL Technology Private Limited. Hosting provider, region and any sub-processors — to be listed by the owner before launch.
This website stores one preference in your browser: the light or dark theme you selected. There is no advertising or third-party analytics script on this site. If analytics is added later, this section must be updated.
You may ask us what data we hold about your store, ask for a copy, ask for corrections, or ask us to delete it. Email info@dcpltechnology.com from an address associated with the store and we will respond. Statutory response window — to be confirmed by the owner for the jurisdictions served.

These terms are between you, the merchant, and DCPL TECHNOLOGY PRIVATE LIMITED, 1011, Silver Trade Center, Nr. VIP Circle, Utran, Mota Varachha, Surat — 394105, Gujarat, India (“we”, “us”). By installing or using MetalIQ you accept them.
MetalIQ calculates prices for products in your Shopify store from the rates and cost figures you enter, shows you those prices for review, and writes them to your store when you instruct it to. It also offers an optional storefront display that you enable in your own theme.
You are responsible for the rates, touch percentages, making charges, stone rates and markups you enter, and for reviewing the preview before instructing an update. MetalIQ performs arithmetic on the figures you supply; it does not set your prices for you, and it does not source or verify market rates on your behalf.
The safety limit, held approvals and rollback exist to reduce the cost of a mistake. They are not a guarantee that no incorrect price can ever be published.
Use MetalIQ only on stores you are authorised to administer. Do not attempt to interfere with the service, circumvent its limits, or resell access to it without our written agreement.
Fees, billing cycle, taxes, refund terms and the billing mechanism are to be confirmed by the owner before launch. No charge applies to a store unless it has been told the amount in advance and has agreed to it.
We work to keep MetalIQ available and correct, but it is provided as it is, without warranties beyond those that cannot be excluded by law. Shopify's platform, your theme and your internet connection are outside our control. Any uptime or support commitment — to be confirmed by the owner.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit or lost margin arising from a price that was published. Liability cap — to be set by the owner with legal advice.
MetalIQ, its name and its interface belong to DCPL Technology Private Limited. Your store data, product information and cost model remain yours.
You may uninstall MetalIQ at any time from your Shopify admin. When you do, your prices stay exactly as they are — nothing is reverted or changed — and the storefront display stops rendering. We may suspend the service for non-payment, once fees exist, or for use that breaches these terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Surat, Gujarat have jurisdiction. Confirm this clause with legal advice for the jurisdictions you sell into.
