Shopware 6.6.10+ and 6.7. Tested on Shopware 6.7.16.0 and Shopware 6.6.10.31. The Compatibility tab lists every version range.
No. Shopware SaaS runs apps only, so plugins need a self-hosted shop or a PaaS (cloud) shop where you can install plugins.
Yes. The package has a composer.json at its root, so it installs with a path or artifact repository as well as from the Administration. Shops that turn runtime extension management off install it with Composer.
Yes. Every plugin page shows real screenshots from Shopware 6.7 and the full documentation, so you can check each screen before you buy. Every order also has a 30-day refund.
One production store domain with every subdomain (www, shop., staging.), plus local development hosts such as localhost, *.local and *.test. A store on another domain needs its own license; a second-store license is 40% off. You have 14 days after installing to enter the key. 12 months of updates and support are included; after that the plugin keeps working and renewals are 50% off. How licensing works
Yes. Ask for a full refund within 30 days of your first purchase, no reason needed: open a ticket or write to [email protected] with your order number. The money goes back to the card or bank account you paid with within 5 business days of approval. Refund policy
Open a ticket from your account, so your license details are attached. We answer with a same-day reply on weekdays (Mon-Fri 09:00-18:00 UTC+3). Support policy. Not a customer yet? Ask a pre-sales question.

Sell by length, area, volume or weight: customers enter 2.35 m or 4.2 m2, the price is calculated per unit on the server.
Works with Shopware 6.6.10 and later and Shopware 6.7 (self-hosted and PaaS; Shopware SaaS runs apps only, not plugins).
Requirements: Shopware 6.6.10 or later, or Shopware 6.7, self-hosted or PaaS; PHP 8.2 to 8.4.
bin/console theme:compile (the plugin ships a prebuilt storefront script, no Node.js needed).Command line: bin/console plugin:zip-import KvSellByMeasure-1.0.0.zip, then bin/console plugin:install --activate KvSellByMeasure, then bin/console theme:compile and bin/console cache:clear.
Upload the new zip the same way and choose Update. Your settings and licence stay.
Before you deactivate or uninstall the plugin, set the measure products to inactive or convert their price and stock. Without the plugin a product priced at 12.99 per metre with its stock counted in steps sells ONE step for 12.99. Existing orders keep their data.
Choose Uninstall in My extensions. Tick Keep user data to keep the settings; otherwise the custom field set and the settings are removed. Values stay in the product data but are no longer used.
Open Settings > Extensions > Sell by Measure. Enter your licence key in the Licence card and click Save and verify.
Open the product, tab Specifications, card Custom fields, set Sell by Measure. Variants inherit the values of their main product.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sell by measure | Switch on for this product |
| Unit | The unit of the price and of the amount: mm, cm, m, km, in, ft, yd, cm2, m2, ft2, yd2, ml, l, m3, gal, g, kg, t, oz, lb |
| Unit label | Optional text shown instead of the symbol, for example "rm" |
| Step | The smallest amount, for example 0.01 for centimetres when the unit is m, or 0.1 for 100 g when the unit is kg |
| Minimum / Maximum amount | Per order line; maximum 0 means no maximum |
| Default amount | Pre-filled on the product page |
| Area calculator | Area units only: the buyer enters length and width |
| Waste allowance | Percent added by the area calculator, for example 10 |
| Pack name | Pack mode, for example "packs" or "boxes" |
For goods sold in packs of 2.4 m2: unit m2, step 2.4, minimum 2.4, pack name "packs", price per m2. The buyer enters the room size; the calculator adds the waste allowance, rounds up to full packs and fills the amount. The cart, invoice and delivery note show "21.6 m2 (9 packs)".
The line total is price per unit x amount, rounded once with your currency rounding settings. The price per step is shown without a rounding error that could add up to a cent difference.
The shopper sees the price per unit, the amount field with the allowed range and the live price for the amount. A minimum, maximum and step violation is shown before the product can be added; the server checks the same rules again and moves an amount outside the limits to the nearest allowed value with a message.
With Area calculator switched on, the buyer enters length and width in the unit of the area (m for m2, ft for ft2). The plugin adds the waste allowance, rounds up to the next full step and fills the amount, for example 5.2 m x 3.4 m = 17.68 m2, plus 10 % = 19.45 m2, 9 packs of 2.4 m2 = 21.6 m2.
The amount is editable in the cart and in the offcanvas cart; the price per unit is shown next to the line total. Percentage and absolute promotions, taxes, net prices and customer groups work. Anything that counts quantity counts steps (see the FAQ): fixed price per item promotions, buy-X-get-Y, rule builder conditions on quantity and shipping prices by quantity.
The order line keeps the amount, so invoices, credit notes, cancellations and delivery notes show "2.35 m" and "12.99 / m". The order quantity and the stock reduction count steps (235 for 2.35 m with step 0.01).
In Administration order creation the quantity is the number of steps (235 for 2.35 m with step 0.01) and the price field is the price per UNIT (12.99). The line total is calculated correctly. When you recalculate an existing order the line keeps the unit, step and limits it was sold with, even if the product settings changed later.
Add to the cart with a line item whose quantity is the number of steps (amount divided by step). The price is calculated by the same cart processor. The measure data on the line (kvMeasure) is protected and not returned by the Store API: a headless front end calculates the amount as steps x step from the product custom fields (kv_measure_step, kv_measure_unit).
No. Shopware SaaS runs apps only. The plugin needs a self-hosted or PaaS shop.
Shopware line item quantities are whole numbers. The plugin keeps the quantity as the number of steps, so stock, purchase limits and the order data keep working natively, and shows the amount (2.35 m) everywhere a customer or an accountant looks.
In steps: stock = available amount divided by the step. 100 m with step 0.01 = 10000.
The price of one unit (per m, per m2, per kg). Tax and customer group prices work as always.
Yes. Set the fields on the main product; variants inherit them and have their own stock.
Only multiples of the step. 2.355 with step 0.01 is refused by the browser; the server rounds to the nearest step.
Percentage and absolute promotions, net price customer groups and tax rules work (10 % cart promotion and a net group are covered by the tests). Everything that counts quantity counts steps: "fixed price per item" promotions, buy-X-get-Y groups, rule builder conditions on line item quantity or number of items, and shipping price matrices by quantity (235 "items" for 2.35 m). Use weight or cart value based shipping and rules.
Measure products then sell one step for the price of one unit. Set them to inactive first (see Installation).
Shopware's own ZUGFeRD document shows the step count and the price per step. Known limit of version 1.0: the XML carries the step count and the price per step, the line total is correct.
