HI , thank youy for this code .
I used it , but the sale price does not appear

Well @younes-dro, it works for me and a few other people.
I guess you have missed something like changing the role of the "merchant" user or something like that.

Hi @xandl, this was very useful, thank you!
Just a quick observation, in step #2, the fields can be saved only if a value was entered:
$custom_field = $_POST['_custom_field_id'][ $post_id ];
if ( ! empty( $custom_field ) ) {
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_custom_field_id', esc_attr( $custom_field ) );
}
This will preclude deleting existing values, ie, saving blank fields. Perhaps a follow up else statement or something like the below would be a good edit?:
$custom_field_input = '_custom_field_id';
$custom_field_id = $_POST[ $custom_field_input ][ $post_id ];
$custom_field_value = isset( $custom_field_id ) ? $custom_field_id : '';
update_post_meta( $post_id, $custom_field_input, esc_attr( $custom_field_value ) );

Thanks again!

Hi and thank you @vilanov,

yes, that is absolutely true - actually I was aware of that and forgot to mention it.

I changed the code in the gist.

Thank you @xandl for this - I'd managed to get most of the way myself but was stuck with the caching and hash, so you've saved my day!
