Hello,
An easy solution would be to use characteristics but if you really don't want to use them for the number of page, the solution will but to create custom item fields via "Hikashop-&gt;Display-&gt;Custom fields" for these fields :

> \- how many pages (not with a dropdown please, they have to type their quantity. Is this possible???)
> \- the paper they want
> \- the cover they want
> \- the binding they want

"how many books they want" : Note that the quantity field will do the job.

Also, if you want your product price to dynamically change regarding these 4 custom item fields, you'll have to develop a plugin which will change the price of your product regarding the value of these custom item fields.

You'll find attached a plugin which change the price/quantity of your product regarding an "ordered_length" custom item field.

I checked your plugin , it is not something I want. I gave you an example above. I want the client to write down the width and height, and the price calcutated on the fly. I don t want this entries to be saved in the database.
Can you help?

Hello,
The only way to have a product price which change "on the fly" regarding the value of the width/length will be to use characteristics (not a text field). Else, there is actually no option to do **exactly** what you want, so you'll have to directly develop it which will also require developer skills.

I know, this surely requires developers skills. I sent to hikashop an email for price.
Thanks for your time.

I placed this topic also on another forum.
Someone could tell me that it is possible with the integration of calc builder. But it needs also a little bit experience with php-code ...

Hi,

The HikaShop support team can provide support on HikaShop ; but it does not provide custom developer here.
If you want custom job ; you can use the "contact us" form to contact the HikaShop team or use the "commercial jobs" of that forum.

Otherwise, the plugin triggers for the price calculation are available in the developer documentation.
