WooCommerce Price Per Unit

May 21, 2024

WooCommerce Price Per Unit Plugin

WooCommerce Price Per Unit allows the user to show prices recalculated per units(weight) and do some other customization to the appearance of prices

This is an extension for WooCommerce which will help you to sell products where can be important for the customer to know how much a weight unit costs.
For example when selling food. Price is recalculated per weight and then shown according to your liking. The rules can be set store-wide or just for certain products.
Main function of the plug-in is, that it takes the price of your product and divides this price by its weight, this is then displayed to your liking

Another Must-Have Plugin: Sell by Weight PRO

This plug-in allows you to sell easily products, where you want to have several weight option to sell at the same price for kilogram.
It works in a similar way as Variable products, but it is easier to manage because you will enter the price only once and the options price is calculated automatically.

PRO version available

Price per Unit PRO

PRO version features:

  • Single product settings – possibility to set the settings for each product individually and override the general settings
  • Better variations support – The variation shows price per unit after selecting.
  • It’s possible to enter custom number of units(for example kilograms) which is different from the weight – for the purpose you sell products with packing and you need to display recalculation for net weight and at the same time you need to keep gross weight for shipping purposes
  • This feature can now also be entered differently for separate variations on variable products
  • Change of recalculation per different unit (keeps the original weight, but shows the price per new unit)
  • Recalculation ratio – multiplies the price with this ratio – work for example if you want to show price per 100 grams (if you have shop in kg you enter 0.1)

FAQ

Is it possible to set recalculation just for one product?

Yes. You have to go to product editor, tab Price per unit and set an override to the rule you want. It works then even despite the global settings is turned off.

I have recalculation on, but the price seems untouched. What’s wrong?

Recalculated price is shown only when the recalculation takes place. That means if you don’t have the weight set on the product, nothing happens to the price. Make sure you have weight set.

I want to use only other features, not recalculation. Is it necessary to have recalculation on?

No. Some features are independent on recalculation, you will find them as “General price options” and “Options for variable products” those settings are store wide – they will affect all products.
