Price per Unit PRO
What is it about?
Paid version features
Recalculation per different weight or number
Sometimes you may want to use different unit or weight than specified on shipping tab.
This is handy for several cases:
You want to sell pack of t-shirts and you want to show price for one piece.
You are selling food in some package and you want to show price per net weight yet you need to keep the gross weight for shipping purposes.
There is many scenarios for this option and it is just up to your need or imagination to use it to your benefit.
Full variable products support
Recalculated variation price is displayed under normal price after variation is selected.
Recalculation per different weight unit
This is useful when your shop has a specific weight unit – let’s say kilograms and you want to show the the calculation for different unit – this time it’s gram. This feature works acros all the WooCommerce default units (kg,g,oz,lb).
Supported also in Cart
Recalculated price is now shown also on Cart page. If your theme supports Minicart it should be also visible there – this depends on themes developers.
Custom ratio - recalculation per different units number
Normally the recalculation works per one unit – if I have shop in kilograms it calculates price for 1 kg. This feature can help you if you need to show the price for different number of kilograms – perhaps per a ton(if you are selling wholesale) or maybe just per 100 grams.

FAQ
The most important thing is to have weight of the product set. So you should go to Products -> (product you want to edit) -> Shipping and fill in product weight. This is crucial because we are trying to calculate the price of product per its weight. Lot of people forget this so check it first.

Whenever there is a new plugin update, you need to perform update task manually.

Go to General settings of the plugin – WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Price per Unit PRO under Licence key is button Deactivate. Press the button and wait for the message about successful deactivation.
If the additional row is too big or too small you can try to check the setting New row different styling in general settings of the plugin.
This setting adds the following code to the page:
.woocommerce .product .price .mcmp_recalc_price_row, .woocommerce .product .price .mcmp_recalc_price_row .amount{

font-style: italic;
}
If the look still doesn’t suits your needs you can copy this code, change it as you wish and add it to your site.
If you’re not familiar with CSS and entering it into the system I can recommend plug-in Simple Custom CSS and JS which can make it easier for you.

Hi Martin,
Is there a way to show the actual unit of the product as well next to the unit price per pro. I.e.:
Unit: 2l
Price per unit: 2$/l
Thanks for your reply.
The information you’re looking for is on “Additional information” tab. The setting responsible for displaying this info is “Display modified units info on product details”. After unchecking this, the information will disappear.
Hi.
I would like to change domain and use my live domain. How do I do that?
Hi,
it’s easy – to use the licence on some other domain you need to deactivate the licence on the first domain, then you can use it on another.
The instruction how to deactivate the licence is the same as in here https://mechcomp.cz/price-per-unit-pro/#faq-money-return
Hi Martin,
I’m setting up your plugin but I find it kind of difficult to set it up properly. Is there a tutorial or examples with how to set it up in the backend ?
Also I’m updating my products by uploading a csv file into woocommerce every now and then with the updated products list. I cannot however find where the extra information from your plugin is in the woocommerce csv file I download from the website. Thanks
Hi Gabriel,
in here you can find examples with pictures of how to set up the products. Hope this helps.
As of now the plugin calculates the price per unit only when the product is displayed and it’s not saved anywhere – so you can’t get it in your export. But I’m working on a version which will have this feature implemented.
If you have any question don’t hesitate to ask. But I prefer to do this over the e-mail, which is on the bottom of the page.
