Calculate Price Before Sale?

I've got a question. Let's say a user comes to my website to subscribe for a service and that service has several different options that effect the price. Is there a way that CheddarGetter can tell me what their order will cost BEFORE the user orders it. That way I can show them on my website what their total cost will be before they order.

Right now I have to run my own calculations on my website to try and match the price that CheddarGetter will charge. It would be a lot easier I could just query CheddarGetter's API saying a customer is ordering package B with options 1,2 and 3. And then CheddarGetter says "that will cost $53 per month" or whatever. Can it do this?

Thanks so much,

Will

   Hi Will -- you've touched on a feature that we're planning to implement in order to be able to do this easily on the new hosted pages system. While the hosted payments system is probably not interesting to you, the invoice amount calculation probably is. Unfortunately, we don't have a solid timeline on that yet. Stay tuned and we'll let everyone know through the usual channels.

   Thanks for getting back so quickly. I think that would be a fantastic feature for you guys to add. It could be a real selling feature for CheddarGetter as well.
