Plugins | Calculator Builder

Interactive calculators that give visitors instant answers — pricing, quantities, savings — and turn browsers into leads.

The Calculator Builder plugin builds interactive calculators for your storefront: visitors enter their numbers, get instant answers, and (if you ask for it) leave their email in exchange for the detailed result.

What merchants build with it

  • Quantity calculators — “how many boxes of tiles/panels do I need?” Square metres in, boxes out.

  • Price estimators — dimensions and options in, a ballpark price out. Perfect for made-to-order.

  • Savings calculators — “see what switching costs (or saves)” for consumables and subscriptions.

Building one

  1. Install the plugin (free) from Plugins and open it.

  2. Create a calculator: define the inputs (sliders, dropdowns, number fields) and the formula that turns them into the answer.

  3. Style it to your store and drop it onto a page with the page builder.

  4. Optionally gate the full result behind an email field — instant lead generation.

Tips

  • One clear question per calculator — “what will my room cost?” beats a twelve-input monster.

  • End every result with a next step: the matching product, a quote-request link, or the consultation booking.
