Exactly what I needed!!

February 27, 2023
I needed a plugin that would allow me to add a global price per 1 gram of gold and then just use the product weight to calculate the price automatically. Works exactly as expected, no issues at all. I reached out to the developer as I needed help with having this work with variable products and he customized the plugin to work as I needed. Super fast and amazing support, will be working with him on other custom plugins! Thanks again!
