Price by Surface (Area) / Volume / Linear / Perimeter / Weight Dimension Module

If you are selling your products in dimensions, namely, length units, area (surface) units, perimeter units, volume units, or weight, you'll definitely need that module.

Dimensions are converted to quantity, and total price is automatically calculated.

Some examples:

• You have wallpaper products each of 3 sqm and you want the order quantity will automatically be calculated with the given width and height dimensions. This module will provide you with what you need.
• Or, you have boxes of 10 m2, but sell your products in 1 m2 units. You can use the conversion feature of the module.
• Let's say that you are renting a container and need a number of boxes, as well as the volume required. The module will add a volume applet, and additional piece information fields right with the given maximum and minimum limits you have determined beforehand. That way customers can quickly calculate the order quantity needed.
• You can even sell groceries, meat, vegetables or fruits.
• All the dimension information is carried through the order process and stored in the Backoffice.

Features:

• Slim, simple and elegant design
• Two product page design options are available for the applets: stacked input fields view or multiplication view
• Adding dimension products to cart from product listing pages
• Perimeter, Length (Linear), Surface (Area), Volume or Weight Calculation Option
• Easy to configure with auto-configuration feature using recommended settings
• Detailed readme file with examples is provided in many languages
• Multi-currency support
• Multi-language support
• Multi-shop support
• Metric or Standard (English) unit option
• CSV Export/Import mass update function for products
• Increase/decrease steps can be set per each input field
• Direct input option: With this option enabled, you can cancel out presenting separate dimension fields to calculate the required quantity (say that width and height to calculate the total are cancelled out), and provide your customers a single field to enter the final required total dimension.
• Supports units of millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter, square millimeter, square centimeter, square decimeter, square meter, cubic millimeter, cubic centimeter, cubic decimeter, cubic meter, inch, feet, foot, yard, square inches, square feet, square yard, acre, cubic feet, cubic yard, acre-feet, milligram, centigram, decigram, kilogram, hectogram, ton, libres, pounds, short tons (mm, cm, dm, m, mm2, cm2, dm2, m2, mm3, cm3, dm3, m3, in, ft, yd, sq in, sq ft, sq yd, acre, cu in, cu ft, cu yd, acre-feet, mg, cg, dg, g, dag, hg, kg, ton, lb, pounds, oz, ounces, tn) to price conversions
• Enable/disable the calculation applet only for the selected products
• Each product can have different calculation settings
• Additional piece requirement field can be added to the applet. The dimensions are multiplied with this piece information to find out the overall dimension. This feature is useful for the label printing jobs, box qty in a container placement, logistics, fabric selling, etc.
• The default order Quantity input field can be displayed or hidden. It can be forced to be always 1 even if the dimensions change
• Native price fields can be displayed or hidden.
• Calculated total price before adding the cart can be displayed/hidden, or the total price can be displayed with a button.
• Conversion option: You can determine the conversion rate if the meaning of quantity is different for you. For example, you have a 12 sq ft of wallpaper and if the given dimensions (area) are below 12 sq ft, you don't want the quantity to be passed 1. But if the calculated area is 12.1 sq ft, that should mean 2 units of wallpaper. Order quantity will automatically be increased with the conversion you provided. Details for calculation options are in the readme file. Conversion rate is displayed under the applet.
• If you have more than one conversion option (multiple sizes available), you can use attribute values for the conversion rates.
• Second conversion scheme: This is available to allow conversions in between different measurement units. For example, you sell paints in a box of liters and each liter can cover 10 m2. You can use the second conversion scheme to set calculation this up.
• Minimum and maximum limits can be set for width, height, depth and weight. Customer is not allowed to enter values below/above those limits.
• Minimum unit can be set to 0 if desired
• Summary of dimensions are displayed below the applet simultaneously with the dimension changes
• Dimension display on the product page is optional
• Area/volume/length/perimeter/weight dimension summary is displayed in the cart once it is added, and is carried through all the order processes.
• Order quantity can be updated (increased or decreased) through the order process (optional).
• Multiple instances of the same item with different dimensions can be added to the cart for Prestashop version 1.7.x. For older versions of Prestashop, each item can be added once for the same cart.
• Dimension details can be seen under the order history of the customer account once the order is placed. Also, this information is transmitted through the invoice, order confirmation mail of customer, notification mail of shop owner and return mail.
• A validated order's dimension details can be seen under Backoffice orders tab.

• Unit base price option (if the calculated dimension is not big enough, the unit price is applied)
• Base price option (if the calculated dimension is not big enough, the base price is applied)
• Starting price option: The calculated price will start from the starting price. For example, if 1 m is $5 and the customer orders 2m, and if the starting price is $10, then the calculated total will be 10 + 2 x 5 = $20. If empty, the starting price is ignored.
• Tooltip (hint) image description for applets (smart image, good for explanations how to use the applet)

• Decimal separator type is optional

• Adding waste amount option set with percentage
• Reference product option to have the same module configuration for newly created or duplicated products
• Decimal limit is adjusted on products and orders
• Prestashop webservice API compatibility
• By unit or by dimension cart add functionality from the product page or from product listing pages (optional)
• Shipping weight display on product page (optional)
