If you have multiple products and need to do calculations, you might be
better off with a shopping cart system on your site. That way your clients
can update product pricing and information and images themselves.  Check out
http://www.metalinks.com/ which has two UK versions.

Then ask metalinks if their cart ties in with WorldPay. I use it to tie into
PayPal very easily.

IMHO, using a proper product database and checkout system is not "extra
work" if you've not begun the site. It actually makes it easier for you
since it's template driven. It would still be in scope for me, with the cart
software and WorldPay expenses picked up by them.
