Where this widget fits
Use this focused ticker where readers need the gold benchmark without a full calculator. For both metals in one iframe, use the widget hub.
Install in plain HTML
- Choose the options above.
- Copy the iframe and paste it into an HTML or code block.
- Preview the page at narrow and wide widths, then publish it.
If your site sends a Content Security Policy, allow https://meltoffer.com in frame-src. Increase the iframe height if your layout or text zoom clips its contents.
Install on WordPress
Download the MeltOffer plugin ZIP, install and activate it, then paste the shortcode above into a Shortcode block. WordPress.com users can instead paste the iframe into a supported Custom HTML block.
Install on Shopify
Add a Custom liquid section to the intended page template, paste the iframe, preview the page, and save. Theme section availability varies.
Troubleshooting
- If nothing appears, use an HTML or code block; visual editors can remove iframes.
- If the widget is cut off, increase only the iframe height.
- If it says Delayed, the fallback remains visible and the feed retries automatically every 60 seconds.
- If a strict Content Security Policy blocks it, allow
https://meltoffer.cominframe-src.
Privacy and data
MeltOffer sets no widget cookies or analytics and does not store calculator inputs. The visitor's browser loads the iframe from MeltOffer and requests current precious-metal prices from Gold API, which receives standard request data including the visitor's IP address. See the privacy policy.
