For example: Custom banner and printing stores who offer various stock and finishing options, art suppliers and framing stores that require pricing related to dimensions and material type, and carpet wholesalers who estimate prices based on overall square footage and/or length, etc.

How does it work?

In short, this Advanced Variation Pricing module multiplies custom options (e.g. width x height, length, depth, etc.) by the price of the product. However, this module takes it a bit further by allowing the user to create other custom options (e.g. Stock Type, Frame Type, Finish, etc.) that will offset the product base price before the dimension or length calculation. This allows for total dynamic product pricing for products that have multiple variations.

Out-of-the-box, all that is required is that a product has one or many custom options defined. For example:

1. Create a product.
2. Add a custom drop-down option with the title: Stock Type
3. Add a custom option(s) text field with title(s): Length or Width or Height, etc.
4. Done! It’s that easy.

What are the options?

Length and area calculations can use: Text field and Drop-down menus (Width, height, length, etc.)
Variation control can use check-box, drop-down menu, and radio-button custom option types (E.g Stock Type, Frame Type, etc.)
The demo really explains it best. See for yourself.

Who is it for?

Everyone! Developers and non-developers. This module is so simple that even the newest Magento users can figure it out. It is excellent for Magento driven stores that offer products that need to be priced out using square feet, square meter, length or even volume pricing. For example: Web-to-print, Banner Wholesale, Carpet and Flooring Resellers, Material Vendors and more.
