Description
Selling flooring, tiles, fabric or blinds in WooCommerce usually means asking shoppers to work out how many boxes they need. Many get it wrong, order too little, and come back unhappy.
Cut & Pack puts a simple calculator on the product page. The shopper types the area or length they need, and sees straight away how many boxes that is and what it costs.
Two modes
Sold in packs – for tiles, laminate, flooring, wallpaper.
The shopper enters 23.5 m². With boxes of 1.44 m², Cut & Pack shows “You need 17 boxes (24.48 m²) – £976.82” and adds 17 boxes to the cart. Shoppers always get at least what they asked for, and an exact fit is never rounded up.
Cut to size – for fabric, blinds, cable, rope.
The shopper enters 2.34 m. With a 0.1 m step, it becomes 2.4 m and the price is worked out for exactly that length.

FAQ
-
Which product types are supported?
-
Simple products. Support for variable products (for example one floor in several finishes) is planned.
-
What price do I enter?
-
The normal Regular price (and Sale price, if any) on the General tab, as a price per m² or per metre. Cut & Pack shows it as “£39.90 / m²”.
-
How is the price of a box worked out?
-
Coverage per box × price per m², rounded to whole pennies. For example 1.44 m² × £39.90 = £57.46 per box. The total is the number of boxes × £57.46, so the numbers always add up.
-
Can shoppers change the number of boxes in the cart?
-
Yes. The coverage shown in the cart updates to match.
-
How is stock handled?
-
In “Sold in packs” mode, stock is counted in boxes using WooCommerce’s normal stock field.
-
Does it work with the new block checkout?
-
Yes. It works with both the block-based cart and checkout and the classic shortcode versions.
-
Does it track me or connect to external services?
-
No. Cut & Pack makes no external requests and collects no data.
-
What happens to my data if I delete the plugin?
-
Nothing is deleted unless you tick “Remove data on uninstall” under WooCommerce Settings Products. Measurements stored on past orders are always kept.
