Updating Product Price based on Market Price

Does anyone have an idea how to change the price based on market conditions? For example, let's say that I want to sell gold jewelry at $100 based on the gold spot price of $50. If the spot price increases to $55 then I want the price to automatically adjust by $5.

Any thoughts?

thx,

Re: Updating Product Price based on Market Price

To achieve this automatically would take quite a bit of sophisticated programming.

To do it manually is easier.

You could use Easy Populate to update prices - a good route if your product set has items that do NOT need price updates.

If ALL your products need to be adjusted, then look at this solution:
