PL Custom Price Calculator
Measurement price calculator for size, area, volume and more
Sell products priced by size, length, area, volume, weight or coverage. Customers enter measurements and see accurate prices in real time.
What PL Custom Price Calculator does
Price by any measurement
Weight, length, area, volume, surface area or tile coverage, each with the right inputs and maths.
Unit conversion built in
Customers enter feet or inches while you price in metres. Conversion happens before pricing, so your rates stay in one unit.
Tiered and bulk pricing
Quantity bands with their own rates, so per-unit prices fall automatically as the order grows.
Wastage and overage
Add a percentage on top of the entered measurement for cuts and breakage, applied before the tier lookup.
Minimum and maximum limits
A floor that protects you on tiny orders, and a ceiling that stops a typo becoming an unfulfillable order.
Unlimited add-on options
Lamination, underlay, rush handling and more as flat or per-unit charges, optional or required.
Live preview in the admin
Build rules against the same pricing engine your storefront uses, so you can test before publishing.
Target products or collections
One rule across a collection, with per-product overrides taking precedence.
Shopify prices variants, not measurements. PL Custom Price Calculator lets your customers enter their own size, area, volume or weight on the product page, see an accurate price update instantly, and add exactly that amount to the cart.
Prices are recalculated on our server every time an item is added to the cart, so the figure charged is never supplied by the browser and cannot be tampered with. Each cart line is a real Shopify line item, which means tax, shipping, discount codes, receipts and order exports all behave exactly as they do for any other product.
Built for measured goods
Flooring and tiles, fabric and wallpaper, blinds and glass, worktops and timber, bulk materials, print and signage: anything cut, rolled, poured or measured rather than boxed.
Rules that scale
Apply a pricing rule to an entire collection and override individual products where they differ, rather than configuring products one at a time. A live preview in the admin runs the same pricing engine as your storefront, so you can check an awkward case before publishing it.

Frequently asked questions
Can Shopify calculate prices by size without an app?
Not reliably. Shopify charges the variant price at checkout, so a calculated figure shown on the page can differ from the amount actually taken. Charging the calculated amount needs an app.
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. The storefront widget installs as a theme app extension, so there is no Liquid to paste and it survives a theme change.
Will tax and shipping still work?
Yes. Each cart line is a real Shopify line item at a real price, so tax, shipping rates, discounts and order exports behave normally.
Can customers order a decimal amount?
Yes. That is the point: someone needing 3.7 square metres can buy exactly that instead of rounding to a fixed variant.
Does it support bulk discounts?
Yes, through tiered pricing. Define quantity bands with their own rates and the correct band is chosen automatically.
