Fabric pricing by the metre for Shopify

What your customers get

• The length their project needs, like 2.33 m, instead of a quantity of "1 metre" units.
• Fabrics as colour swatches, each with its width shown, such as 140 cm wide.
• Treatments and extras, like a fire retardant finish, priced in.
• A price that matches the cut, shown before they add to cart.

Priced the way you cut

Fabric is cut to an increment, usually 10 cm or half a metre, and Trimsize rounds the length up to it before pricing. In the starter, linen at $24.00 a metre ordered at 2.33 m is cut at 2.4 m, $57.60, and $69.12 with the fire retardant treatment at +20%. The shortest and longest cut are the product's size limits. Yards aren't a unit: sell in feet at a third of the yard price. The fabric by the metre guide covers increments, minimums and units.

From order to the cutting table

Each line says the fabric, the length and the treatment, so the cutting list is the order list. On Pro, the production queue totals the metres of each fabric your open orders need, so you know what to reorder.
