Sell fabric, rope, bulk food or flooring by the exact length, weight or area: shoppers enter 2.30 m or 0.75 kg and pay the exact price.

Tapeline lets shoppers buy an exact length, weight, area or volume on your BigCommerce store: 2.30 m of linen, 0.75 kg of coffee, 12.5 m² of vinyl. They type the amount they need, see the exact price, and the cart, order, emails and packing slip all show "Measurement: 2.30 m". Stock goes down by exactly what was sold.

Built for stores that cut or weigh to order: fabric and haberdashery, upholstery, cable, rope and chain, hardware, bulk food, coffee and tea, zero-waste shops, flooring, film and vinyl.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Install Tapeline. It adds its widget to your Stencil theme automatically. No code to paste, no theme to edit.

2. Set up a product: pick a preset (fabric by the metre or yard, bulk food by the kg, cable by the foot, flooring by the m²) or set your own unit, minimum, maximum and step.

3. Enter your price per unit, check the before/after preview, and convert.

4. Shoppers choose the amount on the product page. Every order line carries the measurement.

ON YOUR STOREFRONT

- A measurement field with + and − buttons replaces the quantity box on the product page.

- Live total and per-unit price ("$18.00 / yd") on the product page, category pages and cart.

- Minimum, maximum and step checked before add to cart, with a clear message ("Minimum 0.50 m, sold in 0.10 m steps").

- Shoppers change the length in the cart; off-step quantities are corrected automatically.

- Optional "12.40 m left" stock message.

- Uses your theme's own Add to Cart, so variants, other options and the mini-cart keep working.

- Takes your theme's font and colours, or your own: button, border and total colours, filled or outline buttons, square, rounded or round corners, with a live preview in Settings.

- Shown in the shopper's language: English, French, Spanish, Italian or German. Keyboard and screen-reader friendly, works on phones.

FOR YOUR TEAM

- Products stay normal BigCommerce products: tax, shipping, promotions, customer-group pricing, price lists, refunds and reports keep working.

- Conversion handles prices, sale and cost prices, weight, stock, purchase limits, bulk pricing and price lists, with one-click rollback.

- Bulk setup: tick several products, or pick a category, brand or SKU list.

- Cut list: every measured piece of a day or period, grouped by product, to print, save as PDF or export as CSV.

- Order check: a staff note and an alert in Activity for any inconsistent measured line, and when a converted product is edited by hand.

- Order metafield with value, unit and unit price per line, for ERPs and integrations.

REQUIREMENTS

- A Stencil theme (Cornerstone or a theme based on it). Headless and Catalyst storefronts are not supported yet.

- Products with a single price per unit.

GOOD TO KNOW

- The optimized checkout summary and the control panel order view show the quantity in base units ("230"); the Measurement line next to it gives the real amount.

- Roll back your products in Tapeline before uninstalling, so their prices and stock return to normal units.

Billing is handled by BigCommerce on your store invoice. You can change plan or cancel at any time from the app's Subscription tab.
