Description

Magento's custom product options can add a fixed price or a percentage to the total cost of a product. With this module you get a third one: a price Per Character. This means the option price is multiplied by the length of the text entered into the input field. This is useful for custom engravable products, where customers need to pay a surcharge per character they want engraved.

The product price is calculated on-the-fly by the JavaScript while the customer enters the text, and once more by the PHP code when the product is added to the cart.

Because the calculation itself hooks into Magento's core JavaScript code, multiple custom options can easily be combined. The module should be compatible with most custom front-end themes without any need for modifications.

Usage

1. Login to the Magento Admin Panel and create or edit a product.
2. Create or edit a custom option with input type Text Field or Text Area.
3. Under price, enter the cost of one character, and select Per Character as price type.
4. Save the product and try it out on the front-end.
