How Metal Weight Is Calculated
Products have metal weight stored in custom fields (via ACF and WooCommerce product meta):
_metal_type—gold,silver,platinum,palladium,other_metal_weight_troy_oz— Weight in troy ounces (decimal)_metal_purity— Purity fraction (e.g.,0.999for .999 fine)
When an order is completed, the plugin sums _metal_weight_troy_oz × quantity for each ordered item, grouped by _metal_type.
