I need to create prices in USD based on prices in XAU or XAG: eg, for a Silver American Eagle Coin, price is the silver spot price plus $5. What would be the simplest way to achieve this?

Then, make sure that the USD currency is the "main currency" of the configuration of HikaShop and the system will convert the prices in XAU/XAG into USD and display the USD prices on the frontend. To do the conversion, it will require that you enter the rate of XAU/XAG when you edit then via the menu System->Currencies. So you simply need to update the rate there when it changes. Then, you can potentially build a script to update that rate value automatically based on the XAU/XAG rates on the markets. In that case you can look at how we coded the currency auto update plugin.

Just one thing... Can you please tell me where to find the auto update currency plugin? I can't find it anywhere in the plugins directory...
