Possible? Thanks, Curtis")* Hi, What could be possible is to have several products (or one product with several variants) each one with a different price and then based on the size adding one product or the other to the cart. You can easily add a product to the cart like that: Code: include_once(rtrim(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR,DS).DS.'components'.DS.'com_hikashop'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'helper.php'); $cart = hikashop::get('class.cart'); $cart->update($product_id,$quantity,0); Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzI2MTctY2FsY3VsYXRlLXByaWNlLWJhc2VkLW9uLXNpemUtc3F1YXJlLWluY2hlcz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[piperpilot](/forum/user/401-piperpilot "View piperpilot's Profile")** - [![piperpilot's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/401-piperpilot "View piperpilot's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/401-piperpilot) Less More - Posts: 2 - Thank you received: 0 - - 15 years 11 months ago [\#2623](#2623) by [piperpilot](/forum/user/401-piperpilot "View piperpilot's Profile") Replied by *[piperpilot](/forum/user/401-piperpilot "View piperpilot's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Calculate price based on size (Square Inches)](/forum/4-how-to/2617-calculate-price-based-on-size-square-inches#2623 "Hi, Is it possible with HikaShop to calculate a price based on an item size?

Possible? Thanks, Curtis")* Thank you for the response. This won't work for me because the quantity is actually calculated from a dynamic size. a design might be 1.24 x 3.11 = 3.86 square inches while another might be 1 x 2 = 2 square inches. Those would have different costs associated with them.

Thanks, Curtis")* You can always create a new value of the characteristic, then a new variant of the product and then add a price for that variant and add that variant to the cart, all that doing few SQL queries. But you can't just add a price to a product in the cart as the system needs the price to be linked to the product in the database.
