[intro]In this Guide you’ll learn how to create a Flooring Calculator on an existing Product on your EKM online shop. Before you begin, you will need to have installed the Product Calculators feature. [/intro]

1. In the Add/Edit Product window, click More Options:

2. This will reveal the Calculator tab - click this:

3. First, you need to tick the box to display the Calculator on your Product Page:

4. From the drop-down menu, ensure that you have Flooring Calculator selected:

5. Tick the box to Allow Wastage, if applicable. Allowing Wastage means that when calculating the total amount of flooring required, the system can round up so that the customer can choose to have slightly more than what they need to allow for mistakes:

6. Further down, you need to select the panels' measurements from metres, feet, centimetres or millimetres, before adding the Panel Width and Panel Height to the fields supplied. Then you need to add in the number of panels per box (but only complete this if you don’t sell the panels as individual, single units). When you have completed these details, you need to click the Save & Close button on the bottom right-hand side:

7. On the Product Page, you’ll see a drop-down menu for your Product Calculator. Click it:

8. This will reveal the Product Calculator. The customer must add the Width and Height/Length of their flooring area. When they have added in the dimensions of the first room, they simply need to click Add Another Area to add in the dimensions of any additional rooms:

9. When the customer has added in the dimensions for each of the rooms, they can then tick the Wastage box if they want the system to round up, to ensure that they have enough panels for their project:

10. The customer can then click Add To Cart, and all of the panels they require - according to their floor dimensions - will have been added into the Cart:

[remember]If you have a lot of Products you would like to add Product Calculators to, you can always use spreadsheets and the Import/Export System. Read more in this Guide. [/remember]
