CookiePrime Sold by Weight

CookiePrime Sold by Weight is built for butchers, fishmongers, delis, coffee roasters, produce stands, spice shops, and any merchant selling by exact weight.

Standard e-commerce charges a fixed price at checkout. But a “1 lb steak” is never exactly 1 lb. This plugin closes that gap.

How it works:

1. Mark any product as “Sold by exact weight” and set its price per unit (e.g. $15.00 / lb).
2. The customer orders an estimated quantity (e.g. quantity 2 = about 2 lbs).
3. The cart and checkout show “Estimated:” totals with a clear notice that the final price will be confirmed after weighing.
4. After checkout, the order moves to “Awaiting Weight.”
5. When the product is weighed, the merchant enters the actual weight in the Weight Station.
6. The plugin recalculates the order total based on the actual weight.
7. The customer receives an email confirming the final total.

Features:

• Mark any WooCommerce product as “Sold by exact weight”

Payment method support

This version of the plugin is designed for offline payment methods — Cash on Delivery, Bank Transfer, and Check. With these methods, the order total is set on the order itself after the merchant weighs the product. No money is collected at checkout, so the final total is always correct.

If you accept card payments with this version:

The customer is charged the estimated amount at checkout, before the product is weighed. The final weight-adjusted total cannot be adjusted automatically. This may result in a small difference between what the customer paid and what the actual weight was worth.

Card payment support with an authorize-then-capture flow is currently in development. If you accept card payments and need the final total to be captured exactly, please contact us at contact@cookieprime.com for more information.
