A variant for every length
Variants for 1 yd, 1.5 yd, 2 yd and so on bloat the catalog and still miss the length the shopper wants.
SHOPERIZE PRICE CALCULATOR
Shopify fabric calculator
Sell by the yard, not by guesswork.
Shopify has no built-in way to sell by length, so fabric stores end up with variants for every cut or a quantity box nobody understands. Shoperize Price Calculator lets shoppers enter the length they need and converts it into the quantity your store sells, with your cut increment and minimum applied.

THE MATH
2.3 yd needed, quarter-yard cuts, 1 yd minimum
Price the variant per quarter yard (or per 10 cm) in Shopify. The calculator turns the shopper’s length into that many units, and Shopify charges its normal catalog price for them.
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Length requested | entered by shopper | 2.3 yd |
| Round to cut increment | up to next 0.25 yd | 2.5 yd |
| Check minimum cut | 2.5 ≥ 1 yd | 2.5 yd |
| Shopify quantity | 2.5 ÷ 0.25 | 10 quarter-yard units |

Each of these ends in a short order, a return or a support ticket.
Quantity means nothing to shoppers
If quantity is a quarter yard, a shopper who types 2 expects two yards and receives half a yard.
Cuts below your minimum
Without a minimum cut, shoppers order 0.3 yd lengths you don’t want to cut and ship.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
How do I sell fabric by the yard on Shopify?
Price a variant for a small unit of length, such as a quarter yard, and use a calculator to convert the shopper’s length into that quantity. The cart then holds the right number of units at your normal price.
Can I set a minimum cut?
Yes, on Pro. Set a minimum measurement and lengths below it are not accepted.
Does it support metres?
Yes. Enable metric and imperial units and shoppers can enter yards or metres; the calculator converts the length.
Does it work for ribbon, trim and cable?
Yes. The Length and rolls recipe fits anything sold by length, including trim, ribbon, cable and chain.
