Applying coupon discount outside the payment field

I have a product form with 153 plant listings. I am using PayPal for payment. I want to enable two different discounts which are 10% off total products selected or 15% off total products selected. I read online how to use conditions to set this up. Because of using PayPal I understand I can’t simply use the coupon button set up process. My calculations for discount show as accurate in the calculation and my products boxes when the code value I created is entered into the short text box I created, however when I click outside of the short text box into which I have entered my numeric coupon value (1941), the amounts under the calculation and my products boxes change again to an incorrect amount. Please advise.

I have checked and found an account linked to the email address you have contacted us from (vkwhitney51).

The account only has one form (2021 Spring Herb Sale), which I assume the form you are referring to. The form is currently set as disabled. But, I was able to check the Form Calculation widget in that form and it appears that the "Enter Discount" field is not included in the calculation.

May we ask that you confirm the form and set up the calculation you are referring to again, please? We would like to check the issue you are having on our end by testing your form.

We will wait for your response.

I have decided to manually change the prices. After researching online it
appeared a customer would have had to apply the discount code to each
product they selected which would be arduous. I have approximately 153
plant products and customers may be selecting 20 or 30 different ones. The

Hi,

I have looked at your form and there is an issue with the calculation field. selecting "Beebalm-Eastern" gives 6.25 when it should give 7.25.

Could you complete your last question, it seems that you have not sent it fully?

To apply a discount you can just add a condition as below:

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Disregard the prices I have entered under settings. Since I could not make
the discount work, I simply changed the price of each plant within
calculations so that it was equal to a 15% discount and was requiring the
purchasers to input a discount code (1941). Then I read your most recent
reply to me. I followed but entered Calculation 0-9 * .15 to get a 15
percent discount on the total price of selected products. I enabled the
form, gave it a try and the final pricing has not changed. I'm stuck.
Your way, if I can get it to work, would be a faster way, than me having to
change all of the prices under calculation when I offer a 10% discount
code, and then change prices again when the plants are sold at full price.
I am leaving the form enabled right now if that helps you. Thanks.

If I'm understanding your concern correctly, here's what you need to do to meet your requirements.

Step 1 — Add another field, a number field.

Step 2 — Set the default value of the field to 1.

Step 3 — Hide the field so your respondents will not see it.

Step 4 — Update the only condition in your form

from this:

to this:

Result of Steps 1 to 4:

Note: The Number field is just shown on the form for testing purposes.

Step 5 — Lastly, update the calculation to include the Number field.

Put the existing equation in the Form Calculation widget on your form in parenthesis. To do that, add an open parenthesis at the beginning of the equation.

Then, add a close parenthesis at the end.

Next, multiply the equation by the value of the Number field. To do that, add an asterisk symbol (multiplication) followed by the Number field outside the parenthesis that was just added above.

Here's a cloned version of your form where I have applied the changes.
