Basically, you will have to create one characteristic via the menu Products->Characteristics and set there all the possible values. Then, you can add that characteristic to the products where the user can choose the length and the dropdown will be displayed on the product page. You can also set different prices via the button "manage variants" on the product edition page. If you really want to let the user write the length himself, you can use custom item fields (business edition). However, custom item fields are displayed for all your products by default. If you want to display them for only some products, you will have to tweak a bit the views like explained there: [ www.hikashop.com/support/forum/4-how-to/...t.html?lang=en#11371](http://www.hikashop.com/support/forum/4-how-to/11369-characteristics-limit.html?lang=en#11371) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzExNjE1LXdoZW4tcHJvZHVjdHMtYXJlLW9yZGVyZWQtYnktbGVuZ3RoP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[nina2011](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile")** - [![nina2011's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar762.gif)](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/762-nina2011) Less More - Posts: 13 - Thank you received: 0 - - 15 years 7 months ago [\#11624](#11624) by [nina2011](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile") Replied by *[nina2011](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile")* on topic *[Re: When products are ordered by length....](/forum/4-how-to/11615-when-products-are-ordered-by-length#11624 "I have some products ordered by length, i.e. 1m or 0,2m or 2,65m meaning any length by customers choice.

For example, in our paypal integration, we give to paypal the unit price of products and their quantity and paypal calculates the total on its end. And there is no way to tell paypal to calculate it differently. So that would mean that you would have to change the paypal plugin code to give the full price without the order details if you want to use paypal. Then, you have that modification when loading the cart but also for the cart and order display. The main code responsible for the calculus of the qauntity price, is in the files currency.php (funciton quantityPrices) and order.php (function loadFullOrder ) of the folder administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/ Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzExNjE1LXdoZW4tcHJvZHVjdHMtYXJlLW9yZGVyZWQtYnktbGVuZ3RoP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[nina2011](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile")** - [![nina2011's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar762.gif)](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/762-nina2011) Less More - Posts: 13 - Thank you received: 0 - - 15 years 7 months ago [\#11633](#11633) by [nina2011](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile") Replied by *[nina2011](/forum/user/762-nina2011 "View nina2011's Profile")* on topic *[Re: When products are ordered by length....](/forum/4-how-to/11615-when-products-are-ordered-by-length#11633 "I have some products ordered by length, i.e. 1m or 0,2m or 2,65m meaning any length by customers choice.
