Request assistance creating form with several categories of choices with pricing.

    Is there a Guru in the house? I need some assistance configuring a form for gathering submissions as listings in a service directory. I need to have seven categories, each one with several nested choices or check-boxed areas. Example: Writer--copywriter, screenwriter, etc... Somehow, I need to add pricing to each main category, with a discount if a person chooses more than one. I've been playing around with the widgets, but have not yet found one that fits all the criteria (or maybe I just don't know how to set them up correctly). Any suggestions? Thanks!

    (P.S. I do not have a working URL of this form; only my saved form that I've been tinkering with.)

    Base on your form https://www.jotform.com/62527423606151 I assume you are after these options

    It can be achieved using Payment tool and by creating sub categories from a main product/items.

    I will try create a demo form as well base on your categories. I'll get back to you once I have it.

    Thanks.

    Ooh, thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I will play with the tool... the sub categories don't matter, but I will need to have pricing for each main category (and if they choose more than one they get a discount), and also a few 1/4 page ad spots (which I have not yet placed on the form).

    After I figure all of that out, I need to find out how to limit the number of 1/4 page ads available, because there will only be two available in each section.

    I found the section on conditional logic, so I'll read up on that to see if it will help organize all of this.

    Thank you for responding so quickly:)

    Thank you for providing more details. 

    I have created the demo form anyways so I can show you better how things work. :-) Here https://www.jotformpro.com/form/62577947028973

    I recorded on how I did it on one of the item for guidance.

    but I will need to have pricing for each main category (and if they choose more than one they get a discount)

    You can achieve this using the Special pricing option for each Quantity.

    The actual form work like this (this is just quick draft but should show the concept already)
