Hey! Thanks for reaching out. Getting started is a really exciting step for your business, so I'm happy to help. I've merged your post with an existing thread in which sellers also have a variable priced set for their items (or services, even though they are selling chocolate), but what you do need to consider is creating a few separate items.

 

1: Create a variable priced item (possibly titled "Word Count") that will change depending on your flat rate for that word count.

2: If you have a set of normal prices/popular word counts that you use, you can create them as items. For example, create a "100 Word Count" item and add the price for that flat rate. 

3: If you're prorated price is the same, then you will create that as a separate item as well. If the price changes per book, then you will also leave that as a variable priced item.

 

I truly hope this all makes sense, but I would think of your services as "items" for now, and work through the inventory as such. @cmusicshop and @Dan1 are great resources for advice on this as well, so feel free to tag them in any questions you have! 

 

Also, @brucescandy can also say if his workarounds help him too.

Is there a way to have these variable priced items in the Online Store? Omnichannel is really important.
