Product pricing based on uploaded PDF

[oxident]

Hi!

I'm basically trying to build an online Web2Print shop where customers upload one (or more) PDF files. The actual product price should be calculated by the PDF file's page size (calculated by square feet) and static options (like paper type) selected by the customer.

Maybe there's already an extension available?

Hello @oxident 

Perhaps one of the following extensions from the marketplace will be helpful to you:

• Custom Product Designer - Aitoc Software
• Brush Your Ideas - Appjetty
• Custom Product T-shirt Designer - MageBay

Hope it is helpful

Hello @Meetanshi 

thanks for your suggestions. Maybe I have explained it a little bit wrong:

I'm looking for an extension which allows customers to upload "print ready" pdf files. The product price should be defined by the page size of the uploaded file.

Think about the following:

I define a product called "color drawing" with a price of 5 USD per square meter (100x100 cm). The customer chooses this product and uploads a PDF file containing a page in 50x100 cm. Therefore, the product would cost him 2.50 USD (effectively changing the qty to 0.5 units because it's half of an square meter).

Then this product can be added to the shopping cart...

Are you planning to use the native Product Options to allow the shopper to upload the PDF, and you just need something to charge them the correct $?

I don't know of anything automated for that, but there are extensions that can charge price by volume. I've used these for selling products like tile and flooring. The user needs to input the dimensions, but it can then charge the correct amount. For example:

https://marketplace.magento.com/emipro-pricecalculator.html

https://marketplace.magento.com/emipro-pricecalculator.html

Most print shop sites that I've worked on have set pricing for items since products like business cards and brochures have set sizes, but I can see where having dynamic pricing could be helpful with something like banners that can be made to order in a wide variety of custom sizes.

Best of luck!
