Selling Product by the Foot/Inch

BTopper — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:57:13 GMT

I have a product that I sell by the foot. How can I set it up in my point of sale. I know the price per foot and price per inch. But how can I set it up so when I select the item, I have a way of inputting the length I need?

e.g. 10ft 9"

Thanks,

Not really sure I fully understand how to do this. I sell steel panels by the length. So I need to enter a "foot" price but also a "inch" price. When I enter it in to my pos system I want to be able to sell e.g. 10ft 6inches.?

Stepping in for Nika, @BrianTopper -

There is a way to do this whenever you create the item in your Dashboard.

Once you start create the item, you will select unit price per foot as the first option, then you will add a variation to add your price per inch. Click save.

To add this to a transaction, select the product enter the quantity per foot, and add to your transaction. Next add the same item, but select the quantity per inch.

This would be the best way to accomplish what you're looking for.
