How to pass dropdown value to PayPal quantity option?

  • JimMcCool
    Asked on June 21, 2017 at 12:21 PM

    we have a conditional question that asks, "How many tickets are you purchasing" , after they choose a number it then opens other sections to give that many attendees information.  

    However, in check out through Paypal we have to ask the same question again. 

    Is there someone to make the paypal ticket number update from the first question on the form. 

    Here is the form URL https://form.jotform.us/JimMcCool/CohnHSreunion 

    I tried the calculation work around but saying we are accepting donations vs. selling products but then it says everywhere else donation, which we don't want to happen. 

    Any ideas?

    Hello JimMcCool,

    Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to dynamically change the PayPal product quantity value. The best way to achieve your requirement is to list your products with normal form fields and calculate the amount by adding "Form Calculation" widget in form. 

    I would suggest you to please take a look at the following guides which should help you:

    Set Calculation value in dropdown field for quantity:  https://www.jotform.com/help/301-How-to-Assign-Calculation-Value 

    Pass Calculated amount of form calculation field to your PayPal payment tool:  https://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-Pass-a-Calculation-to-a-Payment-Field

    I would suggest you to please take a look at the following cloned form in which I have made the required changed and see if this works as expected:  https://form.jotformpro.com/71715247056961

    Feel free to clone this form for a closer look. The following guide should help you in form cloning:  https://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL
