Basic back-end to front-end explained

Overview

This page shows the current backend-to-frontend workflow in Stylish Cost Calculator. Use the header controls to rename strings (Wordings), open support/chat, follow the guided tours, and access Email Quote, Payment, and global settings.

Back-end flow

  1. Create or open a calculator from the dashboard.
  2. Use the header icons:
  • Wordings: rename labels without coding.
  • Tours: play the guided tour for a quick walkthrough.
  • Email Quote & Payment: configure quote emails and payment options.
  • Save/Preview: save, then click Preview to open the live front-end view.
  1. Add elements, set prices/logic, and save.

Front-end preview & embed

  • Preview: opens the live calculator with the current settings.
  • Embed: copy the shortcode or use the Gutenberg block/Elementor widget to place the calculator on a page.
  • Smart URL: use the generated link for a direct share or A/B variations.

Tips

  • Use the template loader to start from a prebuilt industry template.
  • If changes are not showing, clear cache/optimization plugins or use Compatibility Mode.
