I apologize ahead of time if this has been addressed elsewhere... and I am new to using AbleCommerce (sort of being thrown into this haphazardly).
So - is there a standard way (before I go into designing a custom control) to have the system do a calculation on a pricing page to allow a customer to enter length/width to calculate the total sq ft, then use the qty price?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Dynamic Pricing (Price / Sq Ft)
There is a bit of code that we use on the Admin side that might be close to what you need.
If you edit a product, and enter dimensions in the shipping section, a link to show the calculated billable weight will appear. It's not exactly the same thing you need, but you might be able to reference this existing code to have it calculate the sq. ft.
I'm not sure how the price will be figured though. A price field will not accept fractional amounts, so that might need customization or a different way for the customer to select or enter a price.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Katie
