Default Screen Printing Pricing Calculator Integration.

Is there a way to fully integrate an excel based calculator into a php based shopping cart? We have been trying to do a pricing structure for days and it's a bear! There's got to be a fix.

Example:
customer inputs- color of shirt- quantity- colors on front- colors on back.

website gives- price per shirt with quantity breaks at set points and automatically adds in set-up, ink, flash charges.

You mean so that customers can automatically get realtime quotes from your website? With you inputting your costs and markup?

It is possible, but it requires some php programming. There's one or 2 on the market that can do it. Check out the offering from Digital Fruition: Apparel Decoration Quoting System - Digital Fruition

Yep, that's what I need, but man the price is steep. Wish I knew how to code.

We had to do it the hard way, but it can be done.
Still working on integrating size brackets to the cart.

We have a very similar solution on our site (visit link below and check the products page). It is fully dynamic, with quantity breaks, discounts, and special offers. It really isn't that big of a deal to program. PM me and maybe we can work something out.

@outdabox Hey, if you want to shoot me a PM, go for it. This can be done, it is not hard, but from a developers point of view, it can be time consuming.

Right now your website gave me 12000 white tees with a 3 color print for $120K and 1000 white tees with a 1 color print for $4530...that can't be right...can it?

I have a pretty cool vision of your site in my head...

we use a php one, but i reckon you'd be better off using a shopping cart so you can jump to the next step of taking card payments etc much easier.

ours is useful and we get an email everytime a quote is generated so we get feedback from the site but i think there are disadvantages to this way of doing it.

The online quote for 12k pcs should be 4.45/pc now- still a little high.
