Form help using Inventory widget

    Asked on January 27, 2020 at 1:10 PM

    Hi - 

    I'm a photographer and do workshops in various locations around the world. We're currently trying to implement a from that would allow us to take deposits for our Botswana workshops. W have three workshops limited to eight people, so I wanted to use the inventory widget to avoid overbooking the trips. We often get a pretty brick response to new workshops so this seemed like an ideal solution.

    However, I'm at a loss as to how to implement the widget. I have inventory in, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to add the totals to the actual total. Can you help?

    My form is:

    Botswana Signup

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I checked your form. In order to get the Total from the Inventory widget, first you should connect the widget with the Calculation field. You should add the following in the Form Calculation widget:

    Then you need to set the payment integration to "User Defined Amount". This will allow you to take the calculation from the Form Calculation widget.

    Finally, you need to "tell" the payment integration to get the Price from the Form Calculation widget.

    Please give it a try and let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Thanks - that wasn’t too bad, however, I still have an issue.
    I have three trips I want to put in and I’m not sure how that would work. I tired just putting one calculation in after another, but it made a mess.
    It looks like I can only take the total from the total (calc) box, so it doesn’t look like I can do multiple form calculators. Any ideas?
    Thanks so much, really appreciate the assistance.
    Have a great day!

    Actually, hold off on this - I think we decided to use a different strategy where we can use a simpler form and have more control over who we send to it.
    Thanks again for your help :)
    Have a great day!
