Show payment field base on the current month

    We offer some payment options only seasonally.

    So every time we want to offer a payment option, we have to manually edit the payment wizard and add it and then

    delete it later & repeat.

    Can you a check box to the payment wizard  so that that certain choices are disabled to not show unless unchecked.

    Even better, if you can add a conditional field, i.e. if Month = 07, then show payment option # 3.

    Hello,

    Yes that's possible with Jotform. You can show the payment field or hide it depending on the answer from the other field.

    Example:

    You can also hide it base on the current date.

    Example:

    1. First, you have to add a datetime field to your form and enable current date so it populates the current date. You can also hide this field if you don't want it to appear on the live form. (Right click the field > Hide Field).

    2. Then create the condition that will show the payment field if it meets the condition rules.

    This will only show the payment field if date is after the month of August.

    Hope this helps!

    By the way, just to clarify, you can't show/hide individual payment items. You can only show/hide the entire payment field.

    So, I would add two payment fields and use a condition, for which one to show?

    Hello Marc,

    Please be noted that it is currently not possible to add more than one payment question in your form. You may like to take a look at the following guide on how to create form with multiple payment options:  https://www.jotform.com/help/182-How-to-Create-a-Basic-Multiple-Payment-form 

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.

    Thank you!
