How to calculate price per meter for selling fabrics.

[kalaivanio3d6e]

Hi,

Is there any extension or method to calculate the price per meter for selling fabrics online? For example: For Product “Fabrics”, the quantity should be 1/1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5 meters. Minimum purchase is a meter. Pls help

Hello @kalaivanio3d6e 

There is no default setting to calculate the price based n the meter. you can use the below extension for that.

While there are some extensions if you to help shoppers calculate pricing by area (ex. Sq. Ft.), if you're selling by the meter off of a roll with a fixed width, you may not need that. 

Let's say that you're selling by the meter, so the shopper is adding 1 meter, 1.5 meters, 2 meters, 2 meters... to the cart. 

First, enable the feature for Qty Uses Decimals. You can learn more about this at https://docs.magento.com/user-guide/catalog/inventory-configure-inventory-management.html

Then, set a Minimum Qty Allowed in the shopping cart so that the user must buy at least "1.0" meter.

Finally, you can Enable Qty Increments, and set the increment to allow you to sell in qty's of 0.5.

I haven't done this in a while, but I have helped merchants sell similar items this way in the past, and it's worked well.

Best of luck!
