I am fairly new to Shopify, but have a technical background. My products prices are calculated based on weight, the price of gold and a few other factors related to product themselves. Is there a way to have their price be calculated live constantly on the site. Either have the price be recalculated at the backend and re-fetched or have the price be displayed programmatically as a function of the live price of gold then calculated at the time of check out. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
Shopify does not host executable or networked code like this.
You have to build an app, or use a service/app to import the price data.
For lowcode see zapier,make.com etc
For apps scripting see https://tasks.mechanic.dev/demonstration-fetch-an-external-configuration-file, https://tasks.mechanic.dev/demonstration-fetch-data-from-a-shared-google-sheet
To make an app research the shopify .dev docs
