Creating order form with calculated total based on user selection

    Asked on November 20, 2014 at 6:08 PM

    i was wondering if it's possible to create an order form with the option to add options to the product. For example

     

    I want to sell a camera. 100$. I wanted the buyer to be able to select if they want for example memory cards, bags, batteries in a drop down menu or anything of that nature along with it and it'll add on what they select.

     

    So ideally it'd be camera 100$ and under it

     

    batteries- choices ( 2 for 5 bucks, 4 for 9 )etc

    Memory card - 4gb 10 bucks 8 gm 20 etc

     

    then a total when everything is selected

    Yes, we can do the calculation based on a user selection, and then forward the calculated total to the Payment Tool. Please take a look at the following guide:

    Thank you for the quick reply.  I was wondering if it's possible to do it with a Purchase order as I didn't see that as an option when I glanced over it.

    Yes, it will work with the purchase order too.
    You need to select the Custom Amount Payments option and pick the form calculation widget from the dropdown list named as "Get Amount From"

    I'm new to this so i apologize if I'm doing something wrong but I don't see "Get amount from"  I only get the Suggested amount option

    You forgot to add the form calculation widget in your form

    Also, you need to handle your product list outside the payment tool.

    Please take a look at this form: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/43237251368960 it's a basic calculation form that you can use as a startup point. Feel free to clone it if you want to.

    Let us know if you have further questions.
    Best Regards.

    @amateurmiami

    If you want to build just a simple one product form with optional addons, that can actually be accomplished with the payment tool alone, as in this demo. Four products were added and the camera was set to Required and Selected by default:
