Table rate pricing software for selling made to measure products

[nikalsystems]

Hi,

I am looking to develop a website selling made to measure products and am looking for some software to handle the pricing requirements.

The pricing for the products is based on width and height or length.

The pricing structures look like tables, for example:
Table 100cm 150cm 175cm and so on.. (width)
100cm £10 £20 £30
180cm £25 £40 £65
200cm £45 £55 £80
and so on..
(length)

I need the customer to be able to enter their required width and height/length measurements and the software will cross reference against the pricing table to determine the appropriate price.

I have found similar functionality to what I need on this website for reference:
cheapestblindsuk.com

Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of how this can be achieved?

Thanks very much.

Short answer - you would do it using JavaScript or PHP, or a combination of both.

Realistically, it is unlikely that you will find a ready-made software off the shelf, and it is more likely that you will require a custom written script. Values/sizes could be stored in a MySQL database (or a PHP or JaVaScript array) and calculations could be performed via PHP or JavaScript further to completion of a form.

As it stands, you probably have 3 options;
1- Learn how to code JavaScript/PHP/MySQL in order to do the work yourself.
2- Hire a web developer to do the job for you.
3- Provide as much information as possible here and hope that somebody who already has scripting knowledge does the work for you for free.

If you are aiming for option 3, try preparing a spreadsheet with all the values and calculations and make it available as an attachment.

Other than that you should tell us what your expectations are.

Ok understood, thanks.

I think options 1 & 3 are long shots and I'm quite happy to pay for help when I need it.

I guess the first thing to decide the ecommerce platform to use then search out a developer in that field. I was hoping maybe someone had previous experience with this requirement and could provide some recommendations in terms of the easiest/best route to take.
