What are calculating variations

In article we'll provide a brief overview of what calculating variations are.

Calculating variations enable you to adjust the price of an item by multiplying two values. This type of variation is particularly useful for products like frames or rugs available in different sizes where the price is determined by area.

In practice, when you add a calculating variation, two dropdown menus will be available. You enter a description and a value in each dropdown menu option, the customer will be able to choose an option from column A, which will be multiplied by the value in column B to determine the final price.

If you wish to you can adjust the initial price of the product. This will adjust the product's price before adding the new value of the selected product variation.

For example, if you sell frames in different sizes:

  • In column A, you will add the available heights along with a value.
  • In column B, you will do the same, but this time with the widths.

When the customer selects a frame, they will choose the height from column A and the width from column B. The price will then be calculated by multiplying the value from column A by the value from column B and adding the initial price with the initial price adjustment if relevant.
