Hi
First time posting here, so not sure if I'm even going about this the right way!
But does anyone know the best way to do something like this:
https://www.nicholloils.com/instant-quote/
I'm basically wanting to possibly do the same sort of thing, that allows you to pick a quantity, get a price and then select a delivery day and go through to checkout/payment options etc.
I was hoping there was some way to do it with woocommerce but I'm not sure.
Thanks if anyone is able to help me.

Treehouse Guest TeacherYes, this is possible, but you will have to do some custom coding in order to build something that looks and functions exactly like this.
The easiest way to do this is to add a single product with two sets of variables to pick from. Once they pick their options (fuel type and litres in this example). Then during the checkout process they can enter their zip code to determine shipping costs.
That could all be done by default with WooCommerce. The tricky thing would be collecting and passing around the zip code before the checkout page. You may find it's a trade off with the UX and amount of custom coding needed.
