Coverage from quantity

Show square feet, litres or pieces per line as you type quantities, from a numeric metafield on your products.

If your products are sold by the box but quoted by area, volume or count, the editor can do that arithmetic for you. Point it at the product metafield that holds the amount per unit (square feet per box, litres per pail, pieces per carton) and every line shows quantity × that amount while you type, with a total for the draft.

Setting it up

  1. Open Draft editor in the app's navigation.
  2. Under Coverage, enter the metafield's namespace and key (for example accentuate and square_feet_box_ratio). The metafield can live on the product or on the variant; a variant value wins when both exist.
  3. Give it a label ("Square feet"), a unit ("sq ft") and the number of decimals to show.
  4. Tick Show coverage in the editor and save.

Products without that metafield show a dash; nothing else changes for them.

What you see in the editor

Each line shows its coverage beside the quantity, and the Summary card shows the total for the draft. Change a quantity and both update at once.

Two optional switches:

  • Show the draft total in the summary turns the total line on or off.
  • Write each line's coverage as a line item property saves the value onto the Shopify draft (for example "Square feet: 43.04"), so it prints on the invoice and carries onto the order. Choose the property name the value is saved under.

Lead times and other store-specific rules

Some stores need more than one number per line, for example a lead time that depends on how many boxes are ordered. The editor supports store-specific rules of that kind, built for the store on request: each line shows its lead time, the team can override it (for stock that is already reserved, say), and the longest lead time across the draft is written into the note. Contact us through Feature Requests in the app if your products carry data like this.
