Order form with sections creation advice

    Asked on April 16, 2018 at 9:52 PM

    Hi guys. I have a large catalog and need to be able to subdivide products into smaller sections. Can I do that with the form that I started working on here: https://form.jotform.com/81057904384157

    OR do you know of a form that can accommodate larger catalogs and divide products into sections?

    I can't edit the source code. I can see it and it's highlighted but it won't let me edit. Can you tell me why?

    Also, is there any way to put a page break between products? What do other people use that have large catalogs?

    The form source code cannot be edited in the form builder. However, you can copy-paste it to some text editor in order to find and copy corresponding IDs. Then, you will need to use those IDs in the CSS code (added to the form later).

    Unfortunately, the forms are not designed for large catalogs. We cannot split the PayPal field into multiple pages. If you need multiple pages, the alternative is to use standard calculation features to calculate a total amount, and then forward calculated total to the payment field.

    Thank you.

    I don't need to be able to accept payment within the form, just receive orders. Does that change anything?

    If the payment is not required you can use a Purchase Order field type. It is similar to the PayPal payment field. Please note that you can add only one Purchase Order field to the form.

    Alternatively, use the standard fields.

    For example:

    I think you're on to the key to my happiness with the purchase order recommendation. There is a template called "Order Form with images, sizes and quantity options" that looks amazing. Is there a way to assign a value to the different sizes? So, XS might be $10, but XL is $12? 

    Can that happen? 


    Thanks for the help. Eventually I'm going to find the right form and it's going to be gold!

    Yes, that is also possible. 

    To achieve that you need to create sub-products and set special pricing for your sub-products.

    Hope this meet what you are looking for.
