Hello,

1) My client wants to sell floor tiles in Hikashop. Most of them will be sold by m2, but some of them will be in "running meters" and some of them also by pieces (units). Is it possible to set it somehow, so that the unit type will be shown in checkout properly, throughout the whole process?

2) Selling floor tiles by m2 is complicated, because they are packed in packages with let's say 1,08 m2.
So the shop customer can buy 1.08, or 2.16, od 3.24 and so on m2. Can I set it in Hikashop in this way? I know I can add an extra field with m2 in Custom field, but the shop owner wants to put price only for 1m2.
Example: 1,08 costs 10 euro. Client buys 2,16, so the price is 20 euros. We don't want to use price per package.

Thanks

Hi,

1. Yes. You can use the plugins available here www.hikashop.com/marketplace/category/39-products.html along with custom fields of the table "item" (Business edition) for that. That way, the customers will be able to enter the value they want in the custom fields and then the plugin will calculate the price of the product taking into account these values once the product is added to the cart.

2. I must be missing something because I don't see why that is a problem. If you create a product costing 10 EUR, and you say in the name that it's 1.08m², then the customer can change the quantity to 2 and add the product to the cart and the price will be 20 EUR for 2.16.
Or maybe you want to have a custom item field where the customer can enter the value he wants and the quantity in the quantity field is then automatically calculated for him ? In that case, it would require some development to handle that calculation.
However, maybe this extension www.moonsoft.es/joomla/product/4-calc-builder-extended would allow you to build something like that ? You would have to check with them.
