What is Custom Price Calculator

Apippa Custom Price Calculator is a Shopify app that lets you charge dynamic, custom prices based on what your customer chooses or enters — instead of being limited to fixed variant prices.


What it does


With Apippa, you add a calculator to your product page where customers enter dimensions, pick options, choose quantities, or upload files, and the price updates live based on a formula you define. When they add to cart, the calculated price carries through to checkout.


What you can build


  • Dimension-based pricing — charge by width × height, area (sqm/sqft), length, or weight (blinds, banners, fabric, flooring, signage).
  • Add-on and options pricing — add surcharges for materials, finishes, extras, or personalization.
  • Quantity and tiered pricing — price per unit, bulk discounts, or per-box calculations.
  • File uploads and custom inputs — let customers attach artwork or enter custom text that flows onto the order.
  • And many many more use cases


Who it's for


Any Shopify merchant selling made-to-order, custom-sized, or configurable products where a single fixed price doesn't work — print shops, window treatments, upholstery, signage, packaging, and more.


How to get started


  1. Install the app from the Shopify App Store.
  2. Build your first calculator (see Building a Calculator).
  3. Assign it to a product and publish.
  4. Preview on your storefront to see live pricing in action.
