“Did you know that 68% of online shoppers abandon their carts due to unclear pricing? If your store sells products by length, area, or volume, a WooCommerce measurement price calculator could be the game-changer you’re missing.”
A year ago, I struggled with pricing custom-sized products on my WooCommerce store. Customers wanted to order carpets by square footage, ropes by length, or liquids by volume, but my site couldn’t handle dynamic calculations. That’s when I discovered the WooCommerce price calculator by Extendons. Today, I’ll share everything I wish I’d known earlier about this tool—so you don’t have to face the same headaches.
Why Your Store Needs a WooCommerce Measurement Price Calculator
Imagine selling fabric, tiles, or construction materials without letting customers input their required dimensions. You’d either lose sales or drown in manual calculations. A WooCommerce measurement price calculator automates this process, letting buyers enter their measurements (length, weight, area, etc.) and see real-time pricing.
Extendons’ Advanced Pricing Calculator for WooCommerce solves this perfectly. Whether you’re selling by the meter, kilogram, or cubic foot, this plugin turns complex pricing into a seamless experience.
Key Features of Extendons’ WooCommerce Price Calculator
Here’s what makes this plugin a must-have:

Calculate Prices by 9 Measurement Types
From length to surface area, the WooCommerce price calculator supports nine measurement types. Let’s break them down:-
Price by Length (e.g., ropes, wires)
Units: Millimeters, centimeters, inches, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, miles. -
Price by Weight (e.g., grains, oils)
Units: Kilograms, grams, ounces, pounds, tons. -
Price by Area (L*W) (e.g., carpets, blinds)
Units: Square millimeters, centimeters, inches, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, miles. -
Price by Volume (LWH) (e.g., mulch, liquids)

Tiered Discounts & Pricing Tables

How to Use the WooCommerce Price Calculator: Real-World Examples
Let’s see how different businesses benefit from this plugin:
Case 1: Selling Fabric by Length
A clothing store uses the WooCommerce measurement price calculator to sell fabric. Customers enter their required length in meters, and the plugin calculates the price. If they order over 5 meters, a 10% discount kicks in automatically.
Case 2: Flooring Tiles by Area
A hardware store sells tiles priced per square foot. Customers input room dimensions (length × width), and the WooCommerce price calculator shows the total tiles needed and cost. The “price per box” feature simplifies bulk orders.
Case 3: Organic Oils by Volume
A wellness store uses the plugin to sell oils by volume. Shoppers choose between milliliters or ounces, and the plugin adjusts pricing while converting units.

Ignoring Mobile Users
Ensure the calculator’s input fields are easy to use on smartphones. -
