Preview or Test Pricing Formulas

There's no feature to "show" you the back-end calculations. The most effective way to test your pricing formulas is to break them down individually by only adding them into the product one at a time, and testing (by creating a "pretend" order) to ensure that particular formula performs as it should.

If you have a fully built formula that isn't giving you the value you're expecting then I have some advice on how I would troubleshoot it:

First, make sure you don't have any discounts applied to the order in question that might be the cause of confusion.

Then go re-save the pricing tab of your product to make sure you don't have any errors in your formulas (e.g. missing parentheses causing it not to evaluate or missing/wrong variables), and if you're using any variables from your parts then I'd also go re-save the parts tab to make sure none of those formulas have errors.

Next, I would make sure all the variables being used are spitting out a real number (that is also correct). I'm mostly talking about when your variables are coming from select-type/drop-down attributes. If you forget to put a value in one of the cells and then that cell gets used in one of your formulas it will not be able to calculate!
