We're setting up a store for floor coverings (carpets etc.) where there prices should be displayed for 1 m².
`However, for some products the user should be able to enter the room's width and length and buy the required amount of carpet, e.g. 3.5 m² x 4.5 m² = 15.75 m². Other products are sold by meter, with a product property set to the available width. So it could be 3.25 * 5 m (fixed with) = 16.25 m²
We have the price type (unit price, measurements, running meter, package) set in a property of the product.
Our current idea is to create custom pipeline methods, where depending on the price type we would multiply the amount * 1000 to allow for storage as an integer and divide by 1000 in the price calculations etc.
best way if non-integer quantities are required

Would that be the best way?
You can add custom measures to individual order lines (read more in Dynamic Order Properties: Adding Custom Information to Baskets, Orders, and Order Lines). You could store measurements in cm² or mm² to avoid fractions :)
