Infographic Feature Custom math v2.0

Feature Description

The Fee & Discount Adjuster (formerly Custom Math) element is for businesses looking to adjust their pricing dynamically.

It allows users to apply basic math operations (+, -, *, %) to either a group of products/services (sub-section total) or the entire calculator total. Ideal for adding fees, offering discounts, or converting yearly costs to monthly prices, it can be used with or without conditional logic.

Whether adding a shipping fee or providing a 10% discount on a sub-section total, Fee & Discount Adjuster offers flexibility and precision. It’s perfect for scenarios like imposing setup fees or adjusting pricing based on user selections.

Additional Information

Special Notes

The Fee & Discount Adjuster feature can be set up to automatically add, subtract, multiply or divide a given value (not percentage). It does not have a toggle switch for the frontend, meaning the user cannot click anything to trigger Fee & Discount Adjuster.

Fee & Discount Adjuster cannot do variable math, commonly found in other complex cost calculator plugins. Keep in mind, that the Stylish Cost Calculator plugin was designed for ease of use and not for complex situations.

Fee & Discount Adjuster element works at the subsection level, unless you activate the ‘Apply Math to Calculator Total’ option so that it applies to the calculator total.
