    Hi,

    I'm debating purchasing a developer license for Gravity, for selling stained glass. However, I need to be able to create a form with width and height fields. The two dimensions would be multiplied together to get an area. There would be variations, such as brass and zinc, tempered and untempered glass. Each set of variations would add to the base price per square inch.

    The area would then be multiplied by the (base price + option1choice + option2choice + etc) to get a final price.

    This is quite a pricey plugin, so I expect a lot from it. Can Gravity do this?

    Hi walkin,

    This is not possible out of the box; however, there is a thread with a very similar request which has a solution to this issue. You would need to customize it a bit to fit your specific requirements. I have included a link to said topic below. Unfortunately, you will not be able to view the topic until after purchasing the plugin.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for letting me know. Is there anyway to see the content of this solution, or at least get an outline of it? It's really unfair of Gravity to expect me to spend $200, on faith that I'll be able to maybe work out my problem with the content behind the paywall...

    Hi Walkin,

    You can always purchase the personal license of the plugin for $39. This won't give you access to the PayPal Add-on, but the pricing fields are part of the core plugin so you could build out your form, work out a solution to accomplish what you want, and then upgrade your license to the developer version when you're ready to integrate with PayPal. For $39 you would still have a kick-ass plugin to build forms that would otherwise take hours to code by hand. Easily worth the money. :)

    With that said, here is the snippet I provided the user in the thread mentioned above:
