When "Apply for all calculators" is enabled in the Global settings, it will be applied for all created calculators, and there will be a notice when you edit the individual settings of the certain calculator.
Cases when you have several Formula elements
For example, you make custom T-shirts for men and women. You let your customers choose the print for their shirts. In calculations, VAT will be calculated separately and within the total cost with VAT.
You choose to show only the formula element with the Total cost with VAT.
Let’s look at how it will look in the orders.
There is another example with the Gift card shop. Your customers can choose the design from the options available for each card and or send their own image. They can choose whether they will get only a digital card or get their package delivered.
You can set up PayPal to show only the Total cost of the delivery if they decide to choose the delivery.
That is how their order will look:
