Tyler MacDonald Updated by Tyler MacDonald

shopVOX offers built-in formula options to help users quickly and efficiently build out a product. These formulas can work independently of the product template or in conjunction with it. From the Product Configure Pricing screen, under Pricing Settings, you will find a dropdown menu for Pricing Type. By selecting "Formula," you can choose from a list of prebuilt formulas that will display the results neatly on the product's interface. This article will provide a brief description of each formula available in shopVOX.

Formula Options

  1. Area
    • Description: Calculates the total area based on the given dimensions (length and width). When this option is selected, an option checkbox will be displayed to choose if you want to display the area in feet or inches.
    • Use Case: Determining the cost of materials used for products that cover a specific area, such as signs, banners, and other flat items.
  2. Board Feet
    • Description: Measures the volume of lumber in board feet, accounting for length, width, and thickness.
    • Use Case: Essential for pricing wooden products and lumber, helping to account for material costs accurately.
  3. Area in Square Yards
    • Description: Converts the area measurement to square yards, useful for products typically measured in yards.
    • Use Case: Useful for flooring, carpet, and fabric industries where pricing is often done per square yard.
  4. Cylindrical Surface Area
    • Description: Calculates the surface area of a cylindrical object, based on its radius and height.
    • Use Case: Ideal for pricing cylindrical products like pipes, barrels, and tanks.
  5. Cylindrical Surface Area in Square Yards
    • Description: Converts the cylindrical surface area to square yards for pricing.
    • Use Case: Useful for industries dealing with large cylindrical products where measurements are in yards.
  6. Cylindrical Volume
    • Description: Measures the volume of a cylinder based on its radius and height.
    • Use Case: Important for pricing products like storage tanks and containers.
  7. Height
    • Description: Captures the height measurement for products where height is a crucial pricing factor.
    • Use Case: Useful for products where height significantly impacts material usage and cost.
  8. Height in Yards
    • Description: Converts the height measurement to yards.
    • Use Case: Applicable in scenarios where height is better measured and priced in yards.
  9. Length in Yards
    • Description: Converts the length measurement to yards.
    • Use Case: Ideal for products where length in yards is the primary pricing unit, such as ropes or cables.
  10. Perimeter in Yards
    • Description: Calculates the perimeter of a given shape and converts it to yards.
    • Use Case: Useful for pricing products like fencing, trim, or any item where perimeter measurement is critical.
  11. Volume
    • Description: Calculates the total volume based on width, height, and length dimensions.
    • Use Case: Useful for products where volume directly impacts the pricing, such as containers, packaging, and other volumetric items.
  12. Total Square Feet
    • Description: Allows the user to enter the total square feet required for an order without inputting width and height separately.
    • Use Case: Ideal for quickly pricing products based on the total area required, such as large format prints or custom flooring.
  13. Width
    • Description: Captures the width measurement for products where width is a significant pricing factor.
    • Use Case: Useful for products where width directly affects the material cost.
  14. Width in Yards
    • Description: Converts the width measurement to yards.
    • Use Case: Applicable in scenarios where width is better measured and priced in yards.

By utilizing these prebuilt formulas, shopVOX users can ensure precise and consistent pricing for their products, tailored to the specific needs of their industry and product types.
