How can I add a calculator to my product page without affecting price?

Topic summary

A user wants to add a flooring calculator to their product page that helps customers determine how many boxes they need, without affecting the actual product price or cart quantity.

Problem: Existing tools like Custom Price Calculator modify the product price and cart behavior, which isn’t desired.

Proposed Solutions:

  • One respondent offers a custom tile cost calculator that works with variants and can add extra costs, providing a demo link for reference.

  • Another suggests using the Easify Product Options app, which allows custom dimension input fields and formula-based calculations. This app can exclude the original product price from calculations, making it potentially suitable for informational-only purposes.

  • A third response provides detailed guidance on configuring an informational-only calculator using form builder or calculator widget apps.

Recommended Calculator Fields:

  • Area width and length (input fields)
  • Coverage per box (fixed value)
  • Total area (width × length formula)
  • Boxes needed (using CEIL/ROUNDUP function)
  • Optional: total coverage and cost estimator for display purposes

Status: The discussion remains open, awaiting the original poster’s response with more specific requirements about their product and desired calculator functionality.

Hi everyone,

Is there a way to add a calculator to my product page and now have it effect any of the product selection and price?

I want to have a small section where my customers can calculate how many boxes they need for their flooring since I will be selling it per box. I have used Custom Price Calculator but that effects the price and how many items are going into the basket.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @AytugEker ,

Could you provide additional details about the specific calculator you’re looking for and the dimensions customers need to input for its use? Additionally, sharing information about your product would be helpful.

I believe the Easify Product Options app could be a solution for your needs. It enables the creation of custom dimension fields for customers to input their specific data, and you have the flexibility to set up a formula for calculating the total price. It’s worth noting that this calculation can exclude the original product price, depending on your preferences.

Once you share more information, I can guide you through the setup process step by step :hugs: .

If you’re setting up a flooring calculator using a Shopify app (like a form builder or calculator widget), and you want it to be informational only (not changing price or quantity), here’s how to configure it (you can set custom fields in most of the apps):

Key Fields to Include

  1. Area Width (ft/m)

    • Input field where customer enters the room width.

  2. Area Length (ft/m)

    • Input field for the room length.

  3. Coverage Per Box (sq ft / sq m)

    • Fixed value based on your product (e.g. 23.77 sqft per box).

  4. Total Area = Width × Length

    • Formula field calculating area size.

  5. Boxes Needed = CEIL(Total Area / Coverage Per Box)

    • Formula field rounding up to the next full box.

    • Use ROUNDUP or CEIL function if supported.

  6. Total Coverage = Boxes Needed × Coverage Per Box

    • Optional field for clarity.

  7. (Optional) Cost Estimator = Boxes Needed × Price Per Box

    • Only if you want to show an approximate price visually.
