Real capture, demo store: custom dimension plus a paper by weight price matrix.
In short
What Pricing Options does for your store
Pricing Options is the printing-options builder inside Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce. You build option sets in wp-admin (size, material, sides, finishing, turnaround, artwork) and give each choice a price rule: a fixed amount, a percentage, a formula, a price matrix, quantity breaks or a price per area. Shoppers see the summary and the final price change as they choose, and every choice travels with the item to the cart and the order.

The problem
Why print and custom products break normal WooCommerce pricing
A business card has paper, weight, size, sides, finish, quantity and turnaround. Variations multiply into hundreds of SKUs, and a flat add-on fee cannot express a price that depends on two choices at once.
Prices live in a spreadsheet, so buyers email for a quote and some never come back.
Variations explode: 4 papers x 4 weights x 6 quantities x 3 turnarounds is 288 combinations.
Large-format jobs are priced by area, which variations cannot do.
Discounts for larger runs are applied by hand, so they are inconsistent.
What it does
See it on real product pages
Captures from the public demo store nbdesigner.cmsmart.net on 5 October 2026. Prices are demo prices.
The price updates as you choose
Gloss paper at 300gsm selected: options price $1.10, final price $10.10, and a pricing table for 1-99 and 100+ cards.
Quantity by delivery speed
Next day, 3 days or 5 days for 10 to 1,000 cards, with the unit price under each total.
The same options inside the designer
Buyers change size, orientation or paper while they design; the summary stays beside the canvas.
All option sets in one list
Cmsmart, Printing Options lists each set with its status, priority and the products or categories it applies to.
A quote form for jobs no formula can price
Products can show Get quote instead of a price; the form builder sets the fields, labels and required answers, and requests are listed in the Requests tab beside it.
Verified capabilities
Checked against the plugin source (version 2.17.1) and its changelog. Anything else is listed under custom development.
Option sets by product or category
One set of fields can serve one product, many products or whole categories, with a priority and an optional date range.
Price per choice
Fixed amount, percent of the base price, percent of base plus options, value x price, price per character, or a math formula.
Price matrix
Choose the fields that form the columns and the rows; the plugin builds the grid, or you enter each combination by hand.
Quantity breaks
Prices or discounts per quantity range, shown to the buyer as a pricing table, or charged as a one-off cart fee.
Area pricing
Custom width and height with min, max and step, priced per unit of area or by area breaks.
Turnaround by quantity
A delivery field with days and maximum quantity builds a quantity by delivery-speed price table.
Conditional logic
Show or hide a field or a value when all or any rules match, based on quantity or another field.
Cart, order and reorder
Chosen options are written to the cart item and the order line, and come back when a customer orders again.

NBDesigner is a very robust plugin for printing shops. It may take a bit of time to learn, as I am, but the support team is there to help. I've been in printing 30 years and I am impressed with how the developers have thought this plugin through. It has everything.

Straight answers about Pricing Options, checked against the plugin.
What is Cmsmart Pricing Options?
It is the printing-options builder in Cmsmart Product Designer for WooCommerce. You build option sets under Cmsmart, Printing Options and give each choice a price rule, and buyers see the final price update as they choose.
Can I build a price matrix in WooCommerce with it?
Yes. Set the option set layout to Price Matrix, choose the fields that become the columns and the rows, and let the plugin build the grid or type a price for each combination by hand.
Does it support quantity-based pricing?
Yes. Fields can depend on quantity breaks, the product page shows a pricing table by quantity range or break, and an extra can be charged per item or once as a cart fee.
Can I price banners by width and height?
Yes. The custom dimension field takes width and height with limits and steps, and can be priced per unit of area or by area breaks.
Can a buyer upload artwork or design online on the same page?
Yes. An artwork field lets buyers upload a file, design online or ask your team to design for them, and the same options appear inside the online designer.
Can you build pricing logic the plugin does not have?
Yes, as custom development: customer-group pricing, ERP price sync or sheet-yield calculators are scoped and quoted after a short call.
