How to manage inventory for weight-based products effectively?

Hi there,

We’ve been trying to find any easy way to manage inventory on a website where you can buy items by weight.

Currently every weight option is a variant but it’s a nightmare to manage price updates etc for each product.

There are around 3 different increment sets for different products i.e 50-1000g in increments of 50 and 10-100g in increments of 10.

Ideally, we want a solution that allows us to add a base cost for the minimum incremental price and then have the system calculate the price for the selected quantity on the product page based on the weight option selected. But we’re open to other possible solutions via apps or customisation.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks

We can setup this using custom code in the theme.

We have set-up this similar setup for the below website based on calculation.

Let me know your thoughts…

Ok. Something like this might work. I’ll get in touch.

Hi @Gii ,

I recommend exploring the Easify Product Options app for your needs. This app provides a seamless solution by allowing you to integrate a specific field for customers to input their desired product weight, utilizing its Quantity option type. This feature replaces the default Quantity Selector of Shopify, offering a more tailored experience.

Additionally, you have the flexibility to effortlessly configure a formula that calculates the total price based on the entered weight :hugs: . To give you a clearer picture, here’s an example:
