Can anyone please advise on how to insert a simple price calculator into a eStore generated shopping “box”?
Conceptual need: before clicking “add to cart”, a customer needs to know the actual price of the product (which depends on 1 of 8 categories). The feature does not need to send any information to PayPal or anything else. I just need a dropdown list or a simple in-line price calculator.
See this image to understand the context http://www.treetosea.org/picture.png
I’m looking at two options:
The first, which I’ve tried with partial success, is by using the Formidable plugin to generate a dropdown list of the 8 categories incuding their price which works, but it also includes a “submit” button that I don’t want. I just want users to see the price for their choice in a way that does not take 8 lines of text BEFORE clicking the “add to cart” button.
If my other option is to include a little one-line, in-line price calculator where they specify category and a javascript calculates (and displays) price, that would be great too. It would just need to be insert-able into the text of the item area. Which is defined in the “additional product description field”. This is because I am using the eStore plugin which generates a shopping cart shortcode and I’m already using the single field for “customer input”.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated…

Couldn’t you use your 8 categories as variations which shows them how much extra each variation costs? then when they select the category and hit the add to cart button the cart will have the total.
