Can anyone please advise on how to insert a simple price calculator into a post/page?
Conceptual need: before clicking "add to cart", a customer needs to know the actual price of the product (which depends on 1 of 8 categories). The feature does not need to send any information to PayPal or anything else. I just need a dropdown list or a simple price calculator.
See this image to understand the context
I'm looking at two options:
The first, which I've tried with partial success, is by using the Formidable plugin to generate a dropdown list of the 8 categories incuding their price which works, but it also includes a "submit" button that I don't want. I just want users to see the price for their choice in a way that does not take 8 lines of text BEFORE clicking the "add to cart" button.
If my other option is to include a little one-line, in-line price calculator where they specify category and a javascript calculates (and displays) price, that would be great too. It would just need to be insert-able into the text of the item area. Which is defined in the "additional product description field". This is because I am using the eStore plugin which generates a shopping cart shortcode and I'm already using the single field for "customer input".
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...
