How to select variation based on value of personalization field

    My client offers custom engraving on their products. The first 20 characters are included in the product price, but then they offer additional characters (up to 40 total) at $1 each.

    i.e. –
    Item with 20-character personalization = standard cost.
    Item with 21-character personalization = standard cost + $1.
    Item with 40-character personalization = standard cost + $20.

    I have created variations for each number of characters: 0-20, 21, 22, 23 … 40.

    Right now I am using javascript to count and display the number of characters in the field, then have the customer select that number from the variations drop-down.

    That works OK most of the time but sometimes people don’t pick the right number from the drop-down.

    What I’d like to do is take the character count value from the personalization field and use it to select the corresponding Variation. Is this possible?

    Hi matt6303,

    That should certainly be possible via JavaScript.

    Let me know if you need any pointers on how that might work out.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do need those pointers. I guess I should’ve asked “How do I do this?” instead of “Is this possible?”

    To restate my intent, I want people to type in the Personalization field, have the number of characters counted, and have that value assigned to the corresponding variation so that the customer does not have to manually choose the variation at all.
