    I am trying to use a form to order food for delivery for a restaurant. Everything is fine except I cant figure out how to build the form so that users can order more than one of the same thing. For example I used the multiple choice option to build the menu, customers can see and choose all items but I cant figure out how to set it so customers can select more than one of the same item. could you explain it to me? Thanks

    The easiest way to set this up would be to use a purchase order field or if you'd like to accept payment through the form, a payment field for the payment processor of your choice:

    Products can have quantity options:

    On a side note, we do not allow for the collection of credit card details through forms.  As per our terms of use:

You may not use the JotForm to collect certain types of sensitive information, including but not limited to credit card information and any type of login credentials. You may collect some sensitive information such as social security numbers or driver’s license numbers, but you are required to use best security practices of JotForm including SSL and Encrypted Forms features. You are solely responsible for compliance with any data protection and privacy laws and rules applicable to the sensitive information.

    We have recently needed to become much strict on this due to becoming PCI compliant.  This required removing any currently stored credit card data from our system.  I would recommend removing and credit card fields from forms.

    When you add the payment field to your form, the payment settings will be automatically shown. That's where you need to configure the payment credentials, products and etc.

    Example if you want to use Square payment.
