 * I have a theme which has a “PRICE” custom field which only accepts text or numerical
   values. Is there a way I can parse shortcodes in that custom field? Thank you!

 * I think you would need to modify the template which displays the custom field
   to run the [do_shortcode() function](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode)
   on the value.

 *     ```
       <?php
       if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'PRICE', true) )
       echo do_shortcode(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'PRICE', $single = true));
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Similar codes will work but not fully tested.
