settings there are several custom size product related settings that can be configured for better functioning of the custom size products area lookup this defines how the product price lookup should be performed consider a scenario where the price configuration of custom size product is as follows – ordered area – 4 3 = 12 only area (height x width) – if the lookup is set as the only area, then the price will be as follows – area = height width = 4 3 = 12 the system will run a lookup to find the range of 12 total price = 12 quantity = 12 5 = 60 the area with quantity (height x width x quantity) area quantity = height width 5= 4 3 5 = 60 the system will run a lookup to find the range of 60 total price = 60 quantity = 60 5 = 300 depending upon your pricing model you can set the
