Hello Members!
This solution looks attractive and clear :

in regards to changing the shipping price based on the custom.

a custom field product plugin that talks to a shipping plugin can do this.

The custom field plugin just has to define the variable

& in the shipping plugin

&getOrderWeight($cart, $method->weight_unit){
$newOrderWeight=code here
return $newOrderWeight;
}


OR
...

I ve started with cart plugin (not a problem) but cannot find customfield plugin. Where is a right place to start from?
My shop  - doors and windows  - has not many products BUT a lot of "size"  (this means "weight") variants. Just want to modify OrderWeight a bit.

Thanks in advance. PRO? Could You?

I tested but that plugin is super complicated, I couldn't even understand how to set up a basic dropdown for settings. Not complaining, is free and probably useful for many others.

I think guys here as me simply require the custom field of string value with weight modification per variant.

Sadly we seem forced to use childs or multivariants only cause we require a different weight.

    If a product has weight 5 kg and I want to add variants for 6 and 7 kg don't really understand how to handle that.


Assuming the base product is the 5kg product then the rest is basic maths!

5/6 = 1.2  5/7 = 1.4

Config:

5kg,6kg@*1.2,7kg@*1.4
