Thank you in advance !")* Hi, and thank you for your message. So, i just bought this afternoon the business version, but i'm still a bit confused about the use of custom fields for my website : - I understand how to create multiple "item" custom fields to add to my product for customer input, it works fine. - The main process for order, cart or payment is also ok But I still have an issue, and I have to ask first, because I don't want to go the wrong way : I don't want to have a price for my printing product at first, I want it blank, and when the customer uses the form fields, it updates the price, and then when all mandatory information is filled, he can go through the normal ordering process with "add to cart" button. And I can't use only the options, because it's not something like "+10 € for this option", it's some relatively complicated formula based on numbers and choices the customer needs to do. Ajax would be better, but even simple javascript with a calculate button would be ok. For now, the choices the client made is displayed in cart, but it doesn't update the global price, and I need to display it before he goes to that step, on the product page. Sorry if it's not comprehensive, english isn't my native language. Any clue how I should do this ?

That way you can display the price where you want based on your requirements. Then, for the price of the product in the cart/order the best is to create a system plugin and implement the hikashop_product_price_for_quantity_in_cart function in order to set the price of the product based on the values entered in the custom fields that you can access in the $product passed to the function.
