Price the dimensions. Know the next step.

Makewright calculates dimension-based estimates with length, area, volume, quantity tiers and minimums. Supported merchandise pricing can go to Shopify checkout; formula-priced work goes to your team for a reviewed quote.

A reproducible workshop example

A custom table, measured in centimetres.

This is the Northline starter template with demo prices in USD. It is an illustration, not a customer price promise.

The specification

Top
Custom, 260 × 110 × 4 cm
Timber / finish
White oak / hard wax oil
Base / quantity
Trestle / 1 table

The calculation

Area
2.60 × 1.10 = 2.86 m²
Area charge
2.86 × $960 = $2,745.60
Base price
$3,190.00
Calculated estimate
$5,935.60 → Quote

The demo’s $1,800 project minimum is below this total, so it adds nothing. Thickness is retained in the specification; this area rule uses length and width. Merchant review and any agreed terms come before invoicing.

Choose rules that match how you price.

Use named pricing rules and saved tests to make the calculation inspectable.

Measurements

Charge by a single dimension, multiply two axes for area, or three for volume. Set the unit divisor to convert entered dimensions into the units used by your rate.

Quantity tiers

Choose a per-unit rate from quantity thresholds. Test the boundary values so a change in quantity selects the rate you intended.

Project minimums

Raise a calculated total to your configured minimum when needed. A minimum is a floor, not an extra flat fee on every order.

Saved price tests

Save inputs, an expected total and an expected checkout or quote path. Run them before publishing; failing tests block publication.

Formula-pricing questions

Can I charge any calculated amount at Shopify checkout?

No. Supported checkout uses Shopify merchandise pricing. Formula-priced work is reviewed and invoiced through a quote.

Does a volume rule need three dimensions?

Yes. Configure three axes and the correct unit divisor. An area rule uses two axes; a single-dimension rule uses one.

What happens if a saved price test fails?

Publication is blocked until the test passes or you correct the test’s expected result to match the intended rule. A test checks both the total and the route.
