Price Per Unit

If you're selling products that are available in different Units/measurements, you may want to break down your product prices by Units. For example, you are required to show how much one gram of your coffee pack costs. Additionally, it can be displayed how many Units one product includes. It can be set up with the help of Price Per Unit and Units in a product that will be shown on the product page.

Choose any numbers and names, for example, by setting the titles"Grams in one pack", "Price per gram",etc. These lines areproduct attributes of General type (Price per Unit fields). So first you should configure these attributes and then specify their values for each product. Further instructions are below.
