Select a Calculator Type. For this example, choose Area (L×W).
Set the Pricing Unit to your preferred unit (e.g., "sq ft").
Optionally set a Pricing Label (e.g., "per sq ft") or let the plugin auto-suggest one.
Set the product's Regular Price in the General tab. This is the price per unit (e.g., $2.50 per sq ft).
Click Publish.

That's it! Customers will now see length and width input fields on the product page. As they type measurements, the total area and price update in real time.
