    So candy at £1.25 / 100gm could be seen as 1 unit, 200g then makes 2 units. The simplest way to set this up is to create a product which specifies that it is sold in 100g units. The customer adds 3 to the cart and gets 300g.

    Thank you

    You could price by the gram, 100 gram minimum (you choose the minimum) in your choice of increments (1, 10, 100gm...)

    That is built-in.

    We sell by the ounce, 1/2 ounce minimum, in tenth ounce increments above the mimimum. That seems to fit your example.

    And if you add the dynamic price updated module, the customer can see the price change as he/she types in the amount

    It's even possible (if it fits your business model) to offer discounts at various levels of quantities.
