Product pricing calculations

[eggeriley]

Hello all, I am pretty new to snipcart and I was hoping that someone could help me!

I am developing a site for a wholesale sign maker who wants to be able to receive designs. The pricing of the designs is based off of the size / square footage. Then there are some variables that change the pricing.

For example

• Sign 1
  2 x 5 = 10 square feet.
  wood $10 per square foot
  simple
  10 x 10 = $100

But if the user changes the material to say polyurethane, then it’s 20 dollars per square foot.

How would I go about creating something like this!

Lastly, is there an upload field available in snipcart so that users can upload their design files?

This should be possible, however because Snipcart relies on scraping HTML to validate orders, it will require some legwork to make it work.

This recent post has information on how you can achieve this:

Donations, dynamic price or "pay what you want" scenarios?

Snipcart does support donations or “pay what you want” scenarios. However, to make our order validation work, you will have to: Set the price of your products dynamically via custom JavaScript code on your page. Set the URL of your product dynamically to a custom backend endpoint including the user-defined price in its route (using a query parameter for example). From this endpoint, dynamically return HTML or JSON markup that generates the correct price. See the order validation documentation …

I don’t believe Snipcart has anything like this. You will likely need to hook up your own database or file upload solution and connect the uploaded asset’s URL to the Snipcart cart item with a custom item attribute.
