Sell items at unit prices or allow customers to add their own quantities using the measurement price calculator. The WordPress + WooCommerce plugin „Measurement Price Calculator“ enables flexible calculation of almost unlimited possibilities for your online shop. Attention: Note the July 2024 update with a plugin alternative for a calculator. More information in the article.

Easy Calculation: WooCommerce Price Calculator for unit prices, dimensions, square meters, volume or weight – the plugin for calculating e.g. flooring, wallpaper, fill quantities, volume etc.

While selling normal products in single quantities, such as perfumes, fashion, spare parts or phone cases, is no problem with WooCommerce as a shop system, many of us also sell products that are not sold in quantities of „1“, such as flooring, wallpaper or more. The Measurement Price Calculator for WooCommerce solves the problems you have probably encountered when setting up and pricing these products.

With the paid plugin and the „Measurement Price Calculator“ extension for WooCommerce, you can add and configure a calculator to your products that sells in quantities based on dimensions,square footage,volume or weight. This way, you can easily sell products whose measurements per item are known. For example, let’s say you have tiles that sell for $2.09 per square foot, and you offer a box of tiles that is 35 square feet, or a larger box that is 60 square feet. If you use the same price per square foot, you can simply enter the size of the box and the calculator will display the total price per box.

Would you rather tell your customers how much they need? With the measurement price calculator as an online calculation, you can also sell products based on the price per unit of measure (per square foot, cubic meter, etc.). Perhaps you sell mulch at a price per cubic meter – you can allow the customer to specify the area and depth of the mulch, and the calculator will derive the total cubic meters and the final price. Configure any combination of units and customize the labels to meet your store’s requirements!

One plugin, two calculator modes for e.g. area calculation

With this one plugin, you can configure two different calculator modes: quantity-basedandcustom. For information on setting up products for each mode, please refer to the documentation.. The quantity-based calculator is ideal for selling products with a fixed measure, e.g. The calculator is displayed on the frontend and prompts the customer to enter length and width (for example). You set the label and the units to be used, and your customer can easily buy the minimum number of boxes based on the area of their floor and the coverage of each box:

As shown in the example image, the plugin can be configured to display the price „per unit“, as is common for tile sales. The price for the product (e.g. a box of tiles) is divided by the configured size of the product (e.g. the square footage coverage of the box of tiles) to determine the price per unit. Of course, any of the calculators can be used: dimensions, area, volume or weight, with any combination of units and custom labels.

On the other hand, in custom calculator mode, you can sell products that are available per unit and in custom sizes. This calculator is ideal for selling products that are made to order: for example, fabric sold by the foot, with the length specified by the customer. If the ‚Calculated Price‘ option is enabled, the price is defined as the price per unit and the amount entered by the customer.

On the product page, the customer can specify the desired length and see the final price based on their dimensions:

The measurement specified by the user is displayed on the shopping cart page, order details, emails and order administrator:

Price Calculator Inventory Support (Stock)

In the latest version of the plugin, inventory can now be managed „by units“ for products with custom dimensions (custom mode). When enabled, you can track product stock in the same units it is sold. For example, if your product is a lineal good, you can configure your product stock in terms of available lineal feet. So, if a customer orders two 10-foot lengths, a total of 20 feet will be deducted from your product stock.

Price Calculator Dynamic Weight

You can now configure a „per unit“ weight for your custom calculator products. If you enable this option, you can, for example, set a weight per square foot so that shipping costs for products customized by your customers can be correctly totaled.

Control via a price table

For simple products with prices that depend on the total dimension of the item, we are pleased to introduce the Price Table feature. You are no longer limited to a single price per unit for your price calculation products – simply define one or more price rules consisting of a measurement range, a price per unit, or a sale price per unit, and the measurement price calculator will take care of the rest. The price will be updated instantly on the product page based on the product size configured by the customer.

Display available prices on the frontend with a simple shortcode that can be used on the product page or anywhere shortcodes are accepted. Encourage your customers to buy more and save money. Would you like a suitable place to display this? How about a listing of the pricing plan in a custom tab added by the Premium Tab Manager:

Remember that any of the calculators can be used: dimensions (length, width, height), area (simple area or length x width), area, perimeter, volume (simple volume, area x height or length x width x height) or weight with any combination of units and custom labels. With the measurement price calculator, you can configure product calculators that are as unique as your product line!
