    I am trying to use this plugin. I would like to start by testing a simple calculator where I have a product that vary’s be length. I have a base price, then on top of the base price, there is an increase in price per foot of the product. The weight will also increase per foot of the product.

    I think I may be on the right track for getting this started, but I am unable to test it as I keep getting an error “AWS Price Calculator Error: Unable to select Ajax WooCommerce Price class, read: https://altoswebsolutions.com/documentation/9-the-price-doesn-t-change”…I have followed the guide at the provided link and that does not solve the problem.

    Would would you recommend that I do?

    Thank you,
    ATDAustin

    Okay,
    Firstly, You need to know that you have to create the input fields in our plugin. I mean for free version you can’t use woocommerce variable product with our plugin. So, you have to create your variables as input fields in our plugin. PRO version can works with height, width and weight variables, if you need them.
    Seconly, Can you check if woocomerce works (the price appears) when our plugin is deactivated? If it’s works, it means the cause is our plugin, otherwise probably another plugin or theme is causing the problem. We tell you this because It happened in the past.
    Lastly, The solution you watched in the video can changes because depends on the theme of the website. So the css classes can be different. You need to get the right (unique) css class of your final price.

    Let us know if you need more help.
    See you

    Hey @sefin,

    1. Yes, the price displays correctly with the plugin deactivated.

    2. I am only working with product by length. If I am selling rope of a custom length, I have a base price of $1.00 for any length of rope and then .1 per foot of rope. So I need it to show for the user that the cost of 1 foot of rope is $1.00 + (1 * .1) = $1.10, or for 100 feet of rope $1.00 + (100 * .1) = $11.

    It seems like your plugin is perfect for this, BUT there are also two important things that I need to integrate with this.

    • A. I price shipping by weight, so if my rope weighs .05lbs per foot, then I need to make sure the weight is being updated properly so that 1 foot of rope is (1 * .05) = .05lbs or 100 feet of rope is (100 * .05) = 5lbs. This dynamically generated weight needs to be used by the shipping calculator to calculate the price for shipping.
    • B. I have different types of rope, each with their own price per foot, their own base price and their own weight per foot….From looking through the free version it seems I would have to create unique fields for each of these products. Is that the case, or is there a simple way to store the price per foot & weight per foot so that the formula is as simple as $total_price = $price + (LENGTH * $price_per_foot). $total_weight = (LENGTH * $weight_per_foot).

    3. Yes, I have looked into that, I have followed a pattern that is unique to my theme but it still isn’t working. I think maybe one issue could be that a class is used twice at the deepest level of nesting (woocommerce-Price-amount) is used and then nested within that is the exact same class again. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for all of your help!

    Hello,
    Sorry for our late answer.

    1: Okay, got it.
    2: I think that you can solve this with our PRO version look at here
    You will have to do the calculation in your excel file mapping the weight also.
    3: Probably yes, because the ajax code look for the price class which have to be unique otherwise it doesn’t know which one is correct.
