[FAQ]

What is a custom price calculator?

A custom price calculator is a tool that dynamically calculates and presents pricing information based on user inputs and predefined formulas. This pre-made calculator template simplifies complex pricing structures and provides accurate cost estimates or quotes in real-time.

How does the custom pricing calculator work?

The calculation field in this Custom Price Calculator Template is set up using a formula that multiplies the number of nights by the price of each room. The "switch" function is used to change the base price, depending on the room selected. A custom pricing rule is then used to add the answer to the calculation to the total price of the form.
