Pricing Calculators - Complex Product Pricing

Do you have more complex product pricing requirements? We now offer calculators that can determine manufactured product prices, coverage area and material consumption, spans multiple dimensions, considers wastage, or controls quantity.

You can either build/edit your own calculations, or our team can setup your products for you. No longer do you need to spend thousands on custom development for custom pricing. Now you can achieve a custom pricing outcome that you can tweak and maintain as you like, and duplicate and modify for similar products. Our optional setup fee is $200+gst per calculator, if you require us to do the work. 

Example use cases

Curtain Making

• Instant quote and immediate checkout
• Curtains consume material over 2 dimensions
• Pleat style consumes different amounts of fabric, and may increase the number of drops
• The fabric width determines the number of "drops", after considering options, hems and wastage
• A wide range of fabrics may be associated with 1 making product, with each fabric having different widths
• Patterned fabric may consume more fabric, but lining usage is similar to plain curtains. 
• Fabric and making displayed as 2 separate line items on the order

Blinds

How the Calculator Works

First you will need to enable the custom calculations plugin, then you can create an ordinary product. 

Initially you configure the product with options, to ask the customer to answer as many questions as is required to achieving the solution.

Pricing can be applied to an options per unit basis, or deferred to custom calculator steps. 

The calculation steps are then presented as simple equations that are saved as variables. 

eg

• MaterialDrops = (Width+200) * FullnessFactor / MaterialWidth
• MaterialRequiredMilimeters = MaterialDrops * ( Height + 200 )
• MaterialRequiredMeters = ROUND( LEAST(MaterialRequiredMilimeters / 1000, 1) , 1)
