How to count the actual number of participants based on the quantity field of payPal question?

The form limit only record the number of people who register but does not have the actual number of participants.  Example one person will buy 10 tickets but the form limit will reflect 1 limit.

Hello gncjlim,

In that case you will have to take a different approach but it is possible to achieve your requirement. . Here are the steps you should follow:

#1. Instead of displaying the event with the quantity options in the PayPal question, you can add the event "Evening Gala"  in a dropdown box question with the quantity.

#2. Set the calculation value for each of the dropdown quantity.

#3. Add a "Form Calculation" widget in your form to calculate the total amount based on the quantity selection form the dropdown.

#4. Add PayPal payment question in your form and set it to read the amount from the calculation widget. The following guide should help you how to pass calculation to PayPal payment question:  http://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-pass-a-calculation-to-a-payment-field
