01 — THE SAMPLE

Cut-to-size plastic, priced while you watch.

McMordie Bros are the official Perspex® stockists for the UK & Ireland, a family business trading for over 75 years. They supply everything from full sheets to precision cuts made to order. Almost nothing they sell has a fixed size, which means almost nothing has a fixed price.

Their store ran on Magento 2 — more platform than the business needed, and harder to run day to day. Kobault replatformed the whole operation to WordPress and WooCommerce, and built a custom plugin to do the one thing no off-the-shelf store can: price a cut-to-size product live, show the customer exactly what they're getting, and take the order online.

02 — The reaction.

WHAT WE BUILT
RX-01 Magento 2 → WooCommerce

The full catalogue and store replatformed to WordPress. Simpler to run, easier to update, and no fixed-price compromises carried over.

RX-02 Custom pricing plugin

A custom WooCommerce plugin that prices cut-to-size sheets in real time. Material, colour, dimensions and thickness in; a live price out.

RX-03 See what you're getting

The calculator shows the customer exactly what their cut will be before they commit. No phone call needed, no guesswork.

RX-04 Simple online ordering

The priced, configured product goes straight into the basket and through a standard WooCommerce checkout.
