Built for UK jewellers and gold buyers

Most British cash-for-gold shops, pawnbrokers and jewellers talk to customers in pounds per gram. A live sterling price on your "we buy gold" page shows that your offer is anchored to the real market, which builds trust before a customer walks in or posts their items.

Sterling quoted natively

The GBP price comes directly from MetalflowAPI in pounds, not converted in the visitor's browser. Per-gram and per-kilogram values are calculated from the troy ounce price using the standard conversion, and figures above £1,000 are rounded to whole pounds for readability.

Pair it with the purity compare line

UK hallmarks run from 9ct to 24ct. Tick the compare option in the builder to add a line with the gold value for 24k, 22k, 18k and 14k, or switch to the calculator style so visitors can enter the weight and carat of their own jewellery and see an approximate value.

Works on any UK website builder

Paste the iframe code into WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace or a hand-built site. The widget is framable everywhere, loads lazily, has a transparent background and adapts to light or dark themes, so it blends into your existing design.
