The Problem It Solves

If you sell products made from shared materials or ingredients, you already know the pain: the price of one ingredient changes, and suddenly you’re manually editing 20, 30, or 100 product prices — one by one, hoping you don’t miss any.

1. Rose price goes up. You have 30 bouquets to update. Every florist knows this drill. Miss one product and you’re selling below cost without knowing it.

2. Material or labor cost changes. Every product using it needs a new price. Jewelers, custom furniture makers, and manufacturers deal with this constantly — fluctuating material costs, but static WooCommerce prices.

3. No visibility into what a price change will actually affect. Without Kodlo Price Builder, there’s no way to know in advance which products use a given ingredient, or by how much their price will shift.

Kodlo Price Builder solves this at the root: define a component once (e.g. “Rose” = 45.00), use it inside a formula on any product (comp_1 * 7 + comp_3), and every time you update the component’s price, every linked product recalculates instantly — automatically, with no manual editing.

How It Works

1. Go to WooCommerce → Price Builder and create your price components (e.g. Rose = 45.00, Labor = 80.00, Packaging = 12.00).
2. Open any product, find the Price Builder Formula box, and build an expression: comp_1 * 7 + comp_2 + comp_3.
3. Save. WooCommerce now shows the calculated price everywhere — shop page, cart, checkout, emails.
4. Change a component’s price later, and every product using it updates automatically. No manual editing, no missed products.

Key Features

• Reusable price components — define ingredients/materials once, reuse them across unlimited products, no limit on the free version
• Formula-driven pricing — real math (+ - * / ( )) plus a built-in qty variable for quantity-based pricing
• Formula toggle per product — turn formula pricing on or off per product without losing your setup; the standard WooCommerce price field shows a clear override notice when active
• Live price preview — see the calculated price as you build the formula, before saving
• Automatic recalculation — cached with WordPress transients, invalidated instantly whenever a component or product changes
• No manual editing, ever — this is the entire point: change one number, every linked product updates
• HPOS compatible — works with WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order Storage
• Multilingual — English and Ukrainian included, fully translation-ready

Who Is This Plugin For?

Florists and flower shops. Flower prices change weekly or even daily. A single rose used across 30 bouquet variations means 30 manual price edits every time the wholesale cost shifts — or one component update with Kodlo Price Builder.

Jewelers, custom furniture makers, and handmade product sellers. Your prices are built from material cost + labor + markup. Kodlo Price Builder lets your WooCommerce price reflect your real cost structure instead of a static number you have to remember to update.

Any store where the same ingredient, material, or service appears across many products. Catering, sign shops, print shops, bakeries, fabricators — if you’ve ever thought “I wish changing one thing updated all my products,” this plugin is built for exactly that.

No hidden fees on the free version. Unlimited components, fully functional, no time limit.

Free vs Pro — What You Get

Free (this plugin) includes everything you need to try formula-based pricing:

• Unlimited price components — no cap, no trial, no time limit
• Visual formula builder — click components to add them, drag to reorder, connect with + or −
• Formula toggle per product with live preview
• Automatic recalculation when a component price changes
• Variable product support — each variation can have its own independent formula
• Dashboard widget with quick stats
• HPOS compatible, fully translatable

Kodlo Price Builder Pro adds:

Components

• Component images (WordPress Media Library)
• SKU / internal code field for each component
• Extended description field
• Component Groups — organize components into named groups (e.g. Flowers, Decor, Labor)

Search & Navigation

• Live search by name, SKU, or description
• Pagination for large component libraries
• Filter components by group

Formulas

• Quantity multiplier per component, plus × and ÷ operators (Free covers +/− only)
• Advanced text editor — type formulas directly, with a qty variable for quantity-based pricing
• IF() conditional expressions — e.g. bulk discounts based on quantity
• ROUND(), MIN(), MAX(), CEIL(), FLOOR() functions
• Percentage operator (comp_1 * 15%)
• Save and reuse formula templates across products

Alerts & Change Log

• Impact Alert — before you save a new component price, see exactly which products are affected and by how much
• Full Change Log — who changed what and when, for every component
• One-click restore to any previous price

When is Free enough? If simple addition/subtraction of components covers your pricing (e.g. “Rose + Ribbon + Vase”), Free is fully capable — permanently, no trial, no time limit.

When should you upgrade to Pro? If you need quantities per component, multiplication or division, conditional or percentage-based pricing, or want to see the impact of a price change before committing to it — Pro adds that on top of the free builder.

How to Upgrade to Pro

Kodlo Price Builder Pro is a separate, standalone plugin — installing it doesn’t touch or remove the free version’s data.

1. From WooCommerce → Price Builder, click “See Pro features”, or go directly to kodlo.dev/price-builder.
2. Choose a plan and complete checkout.
3. Download the Pro plugin ZIP from your Kodlo account and install it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
4. Deactivate the free “Kodlo Price Builder for WooCommerce” plugin, then activate “Kodlo Price Builder for WooCommerce Pro”. The two share the same database tables, so all your components and formulas carry over automatically — nothing to re-enter.
5. Enter your license key under WooCommerce → Price Builder → Account to unlock Pro features.

If you ever deactivate Pro and go back to the free version, your data stays exactly as it was — components and formulas live in the same tables either way.

Translations

Kodlo Price Builder for WooCommerce is fully translatable — including the formula builder and every admin screen, not just static labels. The plugin follows your site’s admin language automatically (change it under Users → Profile → Language, or Settings → General → Site Language), and the entire interface switches with it.

Translations are managed through translate.wordpress.org — once community translations reach 100% for a language, WordPress delivers them automatically. No translation files are bundled with the plugin.
