Introduction
You're on Shopify, a versatile e-commerce platform powering numerous online stores. There's an intriguing problem you and many other store owners might face: How can you offer custom pricing based on the length of a name? Maybe you sell personalized items where the pricing depends on how many characters are engraved. Maybe you want to offer a dynamic pricing system that provides a personal touch and stands out. This feature could greatly benefit businesses that revolve around custom products. Think jewelry, engravings, or even custom print shirts. Today, we'll walk you through setting this up using a simple formula.
Solution
Step 1: INSTALL the App and Complete the Onboarding Process. Dive in. First, grab our recommended app: live product options. It's as intuitive as setting up your favorite social media profile.
Step 2: Select Your Product: Once installed, go to the 'New Product' option marked with a '+' sign. Whether you're offering one product or a range, select what suits your needs, then hit 'Select Product'.
Step 3: Add Product Options: You'll be prompted to add options. Sounds easy? It is! Just click on 'Add Options'.
Step 4: Time to detail those options. You're gunning for number-based pricing, so pick 'number' as your type. This ensures customers can only input numerals. Rename this option to 'Number' and label it similarly. Making it mandatory for customers ensures clarity in order customization. In advanced settings, set a minimum value (e.g., three) and a max (e.g., 50). For a clearer understanding for customers, set a placeholder text, like "length of the name, e.g. David = 5".
Step 5: Add a checkbox option for those wanting their names engraved. Label this option 'Engraving'. Making this field required ensures every customer makes a choice. The initial value? Leave it blank. Just add a value indicating the engraving option.
Step 6: Price calculations. For each character to be engraved, let's assume a charge of $10. How's this added? In the price section or checkbox which is “engraved”, input $10. You'll notice a section with curly brackets. Input the formula: “price * options.value('Number')”. This simple JavaScript snippet will multiply the per-character price with the number of characters.
Step 7: It's basic math! Using the formula, a name like 'David' with 5 characters would total $50.
Step 8: All set? Click on 'Enable' and save your settings.
Step 9: Feeling adventurous? There's a plethora of advanced options to explore and tailor to your needs.
Step 10: Let's talk aesthetics. Design plays a pivotal role in user experience. Customize the design as you see fit. If you're CSS-savvy, add your touch. If not, the default settings work wonders too.
Step 11: Stuck? Fear not! The app's support is always ready to assist. Additionally, comprehensive documentation is available to guide you through.
