# Common cases
Here are some common cases that many merchants encounter. It can be a simpler way to get you started with the module.
Each feature will have a link to the corresponding documentation page. You can find more detailed information there.
You can also find many product examples in the examples demo (opens new window)
# Examples
# Charge based on a product area
Create a width and height field then configure this price formula for example:
[width] * [height] * 10
But in most cases, the fields are in centimeters, so you need to convert them to meters:
[width] * [height] / 10000 * 10
In this case, you are charging 10€ for each square meter.
TIP
In the docs, Euros are used, but it depends on your shop's default currency.
You can even create a dynamic variable field called * area* and assign the area to it using a field formula.
Then you can use this variable in the price formula:
[area] = [width] * [height] / 10000
Then the price formula becomes:
[area] * 10
# Add extra cost based on a selected option
You can create a dropdown field (opens new window) called * material* with options like:
- Metal
- Wood
- Plastic
Then you can assign a value to each option of the dropdown and use the field directly in the price formula:
[material]
The field value will be replaced by the value of the selected option.
So it will be easy to add many options like this
[material] + [color] + [size] // etc...
You can even charge based on the area and material like this
[area] * [material]
# Charge a minimum price
You can use the max
function to set a minimum price. For example, if
you want to charge at least 10€:
MAX(10, [area] * 10)
The max
function will return the highest value between the two.
