== Disclaimer ==

Ideally, it's best that you have a basic understanding of web development (HTML, CSS, WordPress) to use this cost calculator WordPress plugin.  By purchasing the license, you agree to have access to basic and limited support, mainly for troubleshooting bugs. We do not offer refunds, so please test the demo first before purchasing.

The Stylish Cost Calculator plugin does have a variable math feature. Meaning, you cannot write custom similar to $Product x $Quantity = $Total. There are other plugins on the market which allow this but are much more difficult to setup. Our plugin was designed to more easy-to-use than work for complex pricing structures. Although thousands of users find this plugin does exactly what they're looking for, we don't guarantee it will work for your situation. We encourage you to use the free version first to try it out.
