Guides
Selling custom sizes on Shopify
Shopify prices products by variant, and a variant can't hold every width and height a customer might ask for. These guides show how to price any size, trade by trade, with the numbers worked out.
Each guide answers one question a shop asks when it starts selling custom sizes: how to turn a width and height into a price, when variants are enough and when they are not, and what the finishing, minimums and quantity breaks of one trade look like as numbers. The examples are worked through to the cent, and every guide ends with the Trimsize setup that prices it, so you can go from the maths to a live product page in an afternoon.
