Put a cutting calculator on your website
Sell sheet, board or bar? Write about woodwork or fabrication? Add the CutNest calculator to your own page so your customers can work out how many sheets or lengths to order. Set it to the sizes and prices you sell, then copy the code.
Why add it
Customers order the right amount
They type their parts and see the real number of sheets or lengths, nested the way they’ll be cut, not an area sum that comes up short.
Your sizes and prices
It opens on the sheet or length you sell, at your price per sheet, in your currency. Customers can still change the size.
Free, and nothing to look after
No account, no fee and no updates to install. When the calculator improves, it improves on your page too.
No cookies, nothing uploaded
It sets no cookies and shows no ads. The parts a customer types stay in their browser.
How to add it
- Set it up above: the calculator, your stock size, kerf, price and currency. The preview shows exactly what your visitors will see.
- Copy the code with the button.
- Paste it into your page:
- WordPress: add a Custom HTML block and paste the code into it.
- Wix: Add → Embed code → Embed HTML, choose “Code” and paste.
- Squarespace: add a Code block and paste.
- Shopify: on a page, press Show HTML (the
<>button) and paste where you want it. - Anything else: paste it into the HTML of the page where the calculator should go.
The code has three parts: the calculator itself, a short line saying where it’s from, and a few characters of script that let the calculator grow and shrink with its results so there’s no scroll bar inside it. If your site doesn’t allow scripts, leave the last line out and the calculator still works at a fixed height.
Sizes, units and currency
The metric calculators take millimetres; the inch ones take inches, and show feet and inches to your visitors. Any currency CutNest knows can be used: pounds, dollars, euros, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars, francs, złoty, krona and more.
The address in the code carries your settings, so you can also change it by hand: w and h are the sheet size (just w for a length), kerf the gap between parts, price the price of one sheet or length, and cur the currency code.
