Selling gold is not like selling anything else.
You are not selling a piece of jewelry. You are selling value, trust, and an investment.
That is why an online gold store cannot be built with the same tools that work for everything else. It needs more precision, more transparency, and serious control over pricing and stock.
The customers who used to walk into your shop now check the gram price on their phone first. An online gold store is how you meet them there, with the karat, the weight, and the making charge stated as clearly as they would be across the counter. In this guide, you'll learn what a gold store on Salla needs, section by section.
A gold store on Salla needs four things working together: a live gram price on the homepage, product pages that state weight, karat, and making charge transparently, an investment section for bullion, and educational content that answers the questions buyers ask before they spend. Insured shipping and clear policies close the trust gap.

What makes the gold trade different
The market changed, and so did the buyer.
Today's customer:
- Compares the gram price before setting foot in a shop
- Browses designs on a phone
- Wants the karat, the weight, and the making charge stated openly
- Expects a fast, professional experience
If they can't find you online, they will find your competitor.
Before you launch, be clear that the gold trade carries four particular challenges:
- Prices that move constantly
- Trust and credibility that are easily damaged
- The need to state weight, karat, and making charge unambiguously
- Payment and taqabud considerations, where the exchange must be settled immediately
Any platform that doesn't give you full flexibility on these will cap your growth.
Why Salla suits a gold merchant specifically:
- Flexible gold price management
- A design that matches the luxury of what you sell
- Digital trust you can build deliberately
- Easy inventory management for one-of-a-kind pieces
- Selling around the clock with no geographic limit
Untapped opportunities in the online gold market
There are obvious gaps in this market:
1. Weak educational content
You rarely find:
- A guide explaining the difference between 18 and 21 karat
- A page showing how the making charge is calculated
- An investment section explaining how to buy bullion
That is a large opening for you. The merchant who teaches, sells more.
2. Ignoring the investment angle
Gold is not only an ornament. It is a financial asset.
Through your store you can:
- Create a bullion and investment section
- Run campaigns when prices rise
- Send alerts to customers
That is how you move from being a jeweler to being an investment destination.
3. Customization tools left unused
Your store tools let you:
- Add a daily gold price bar
- Build a fully detailed product page
- Manage every piece as its own stock item
- Create variants by weight and karat
Most stores never use any of this to its full extent.
You are not replacing your shop. You are adding a branch that never closes.
What a successful gold store on Salla looks like
One: the homepage
1. Today's gold price bar
The biggest risk in selling gold online is the price.
The gram price can move more than once a day, and your customer is watching the market minute by minute.
If updating that price manually takes 30 minutes, that gap comes straight out of your margin.
The app store carries several apps that connect your Salla store to global gold and silver prices and update your product prices automatically in real time, so your pricing stays accurate and the sale stays safe.
Gold Update - Gold price bar - Auto Gold - Automatic gold price updater - Ayar
2. Clear categories
Sets, bracelets, bullion, rings, or organized by brand.
📖 See how to turn your homepage into a selling tool that lifts orders and gives customers a professional experience from the first moment.
3. A refined design
A gold store should look like gold. Luxury online has to match the luxury in the shop.
- Dark colors (black, navy, burgundy)
- Elegant typography
- Generous white space
- Very high quality photography
📖 Learn how to turn your store into a smooth, professional experience where every visitor feels comfortable enough to finish the purchase.
4. Show your payment methods reassuringly
Making a purchase easy does not mean making it less secure. It means removing friction, which is why we recommend displaying the payment methods you accept.
Adding deferred payment options has a positive effect on the decision to complete the purchase.
5. Add a live price calculator tied to the gram price
Either give customers a price calculator, or explain your pricing method plainly.
6. Publish clear policies
📖 Learn how to make your store clear and trustworthy. Information pages give customers everything they need to buy with confidence.
7. Connect to trusted shipping companies with live tracking
Aramex's valuables delivery service is built for gold and jewelry merchants, offering secure shipping with insurance on the shipment and a discounted waybill, which strengthens customer trust and lowers your shipping risk.
📖 Learn how to protect your high-value products and give customers confidence with Aramex's valuables delivery service.
8. Coupons and offers
Give new customers a coupon when they complete the registration form.
Or add a promotional bar or banner carrying a discount code for everyone.
Or run a free shipping offer.
📖 Learn how to manage discount coupons in your store and special offers.
Every one of these lifts the conversion rate on high-value products.
Two: a complete product page
The customer is not just buying a piece. They are doing the gram-price math in their head.
The more transparent you are, the more likely they buy.
- State the weight and karat clearly
- Separate the gold price from the making charge (where it applies)
- Use 4K photography
- Add a product video
Offer options that suit every budget
📖 Discover the essentials of a product page that sells, and build a digital presence as good as your gold.
Three: an investment section
Gold is an investment asset, not only an ornament, yet most stores market it purely as decoration.
Through your store on Salla you can add:
1. A bullion section
📖 Learn how to give visitors a smooth, professional experience that makes them trust your products and buy without hesitating.
2. Discounted products
Four: an education section
For long-term trust, add a blog to your store. It can cover:
- A beginner's guide to buying gold
- The difference between karats
- Whether gold is a good investment
- A sizing guide for gold pieces
- Luxury gift ideas
- How to care for gold and jewelry
📖 Learn how to turn your store into a source of knowledge customers trust. With the Salla store blog you can publish useful articles, organize them into categories, improve how your store ranks in search, and grow sales.

What has to appear on a gold product page?
The weight and the karat, stated clearly, and where it applies the gold price separated from the making charge. Add high-quality photography and a product video.
How do I ship high-value pieces safely?

No. It is an additional branch that is open 24 hours a day with no geographic limit, and it reaches customers who compare prices online before they ever walk in.
