  • Upselling Opportunities: Increase revenue by offering optional services or upgrades.

  • Customer-Friendly: Provide an intuitive shopping experience tailored to individual needs.

  1. Purpose of the Example

    • Demonstrates how to add and charge for optional add-ons.

    • Example: Adding an installation fee to a tile product.

  2. Steps to Create a Calculator

    • Set up a product with a base price in Shopify.

    • Add a checkbox element to the calculator:

      • Checkbox named Installation Fee.

      • Assign values (0 for unchecked, 100 for checked).

  3. Configuring the Formula

    • Combine the base product price with the installation fee in the formula.

    • Example formula: Base Price + Installation Fee.

  4. Previewing the Calculator

    • Preview to ensure functionality:

      • Display base price.

      • Update the price when the checkbox is selected.

    • Example: $100 base price becomes $200 with the add-on.

  5. Embedding the Calculator

    • Attach the calculator to the product in Shopify.

    • Refresh the product page to see the embedded calculator.

    • Test the functionality on the product page (e.g., select/deselect add-on, add to cart).
