# How To Enable the Quantity Calculator for Specific Products

## Instructions for how to enable the DIY Quantity Calculator for Shopify for specific products.

## How do you apply the DIY Quantity Calculator to only some products?

If only some of your products require quantity calculations — or if different products use different rules — you need to apply the DIY Quantity Calculator selectively rather than site-wide. The DIY Quantity Calculator works by attaching to a specific Shopify Product Template (see Step 3 of the [User Guide](https://eniture.com/shopify-quantity-calculator/#documentation)), which means you control exactly which products display the calculator by assigning them to the appropriate template. Products that do not need the calculator remain on the **Default product** template.

## How do you create a new Product Template in Shopify?

Follow these steps to create the Product Template you will attach the DIY Quantity Calculator to:

1. In the Shopify Admin navigation menu, go to **Online Store \> Themes**.
2. Click the **Customize** button.

3. At the top of the page, select **Products** from the list of options.

4. Choose **Create template**.

5. Name the new template and select the existing template whose characteristics it will inherit.

Follow Step 3 of the [User Guide](https://eniture.com/shopify-quantity-calculator/#documentation) to add the DIY Quantity Calculator to the Product Template you just created, then continue through the remaining steps in the User Guide to complete the setup.

Once the Product Template is configured, assign it to each product that requires the DIY Quantity Calculator. Open the product in the Shopify Admin, scroll to the **Theme template** section on the product detail page, select the template you created from the dropdown, and save the product. Repeat this for every product that should use that template.

## Do products with different calculation rules need separate Product Templates?

Create one Product Template for each unique set of calculation rules. If all products that require the DIY Quantity Calculator share a common calculation (for example, the same square feet per SKU), a single template is sufficient — use each product's **Metadata** field to specify the individual area size. See Step 5 of the [User Guide](https://eniture.com/shopify-quantity-calculator/#documentation) for details.
