I’m looking to add weight to an individual product. (one SKU) for example.
50lbs = 3.00
2000lb’s of foo = 2,300
45,000lb’s of foo = 13,000
If I have a channel of products, and I want to calculate total weight per say in a checkout. How could I assign selectable weights to one product?
Would I create a separate channel called “weight” enter the various weights in that channel and use relationships to calculate the total?
Any suggestions are welcome.

The cart software that you are using will have an effect on the “best” route to take. Is there a formula for the weight you are adding, or is it based on some sort of lookup table?
For instance, w * .06, where w is 50lbs would produce 3lbs.
With a lookup table, everything up to 2,000 lbs would have 3 lbs added. We would add 2,300 lbs for purchases between 20,000 lbs and 45,000 lbs.
Or do you know every weight that is possible?
