    Asked on August 25, 2015 at 12:15 PM

    I'm using JotForm with PayPal payments integrated to sell show tickets. I need to put a limit on how many tickets are available for each show, as to not oversell seating. Is this possible through JF???

    Hi,

    This is indeed possible using either the quantity gift registry widget:

    http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/quantity_gift_registry

    Or the inventory widget:

    http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/inventory

    Both allow you to set certain quantities of available tickets that decrease each time one is purchased.

    You would then setup a calculation to collect the values from the widgets.  Here is an example of another user who required a similar setup:

    If you have any questions regarding this setup, let us know and we will be happy to help.

    Thank you! Is there a way to keep the count hidden, so just the seller can see tickets available? Is there a "sold out" status when tix are gone?

    Hi, 

     

    For the Investory widget, it has an option that allows you to hide the available quantity label of your product. See screenshot below.

    For the Quantity Gift Registry, we will need to add a custom CSS code in the widget for it to hide the available quantity left. 

     

    For both widget if the count is hidden and the items available quantity is 0 (or soldout) it just disables the field. No sold out label is displayed.

    Sweet, I have it setup now and tested it. How do I see the remaining quantity? Is there a way to generate a report? Also, I tested it out and bought a ticket, but the qty still says 250, instead of 249...
