Jotform’s Order Forms allow you to sell single or multiple items, collect subscriptions, or get donations online. Powered by the most secured payment gateways, accepting customer payments is easier and more convenient.
Using Jotform’s intuitive drag-and-drop Form Builder, you can set up your first order form in just a few minutes of your time.
Adding and Setting Up the Payment Element
For this example, we will use PayPal Personal to create the order form. However, this guide applies to all of our payment tools. There may be differences, but they are mostly related to connecting your account with the selected gateway. Let’s start!
- In the Form Builder, click the Add Form Element button.
- Go to the Payments tab.
- Search for PayPal Personal from the list and click it to add. You can also drag/drop it to the form.
- In the Payment Settings, you have some immediate settings. For PayPal Personal, you must set the following:
- PayPal Account — This will be your registered Email Address with PayPal.
- Currency — Select the currency based on the chosen gateway. PayPal Personal supports multiple currencies.
- Payment Type — Most payment gateways support selling products or subscriptions. It will also allow you to accept user-defined amounts and collect donations.
Optionally, expand the Additional Gateway Settings section to see and set up the additional settings for the payment getaway. You’ll see it like this:
With PayPal Personal, you’ll find the following options:
- Users Can Select Multiple Products — Select Yes if you want users to be able to select multiple products.
- Show Total Price on the Form — Select Yes to show the total amount in the form.
- Sandbox Mode — Select Yes to enable PayPal Sandbox. Visit How to Test your PayPal Payment Form to learn more.
- Authorization Only — Enable this option if you want to collect orders and charge customers at a later date. To learn more about this feature, check this guide: How to Enable Payment Authorization.
- Require Shipment Address — Toggle this if you’ll be shipping a product to the user or need an address for other purposes.
- Checkout Language — Select the language to use on your checkout page.
- IPN Relay URL — Allows you to send the IPN data from PayPal to your POST URL. For more information, please check the user guide: PayPal Incomplete Payments.
- Pending Payment Email — This option allows you to email customers who fail to submit their payment on time. Visit How to Set up an Incomplete Payment Notification Email for more details.
- Clickable Image Preview — Enable this option to open product images in a lightbox window.
- Use Decimals — Enabled by default. Select No if you don’t want to use decimals.
- Decimal Separator — You can choose to use decimal points or commas.
- Redirected PayPal Page Style — Enter your Page Style Name in this box. Please visit PayPal’s Custom Payment Pages to learn more about this.
- Checkout Logo — Upload your custom logo on the checkout page. The image you upload will replace your email address or merchant ID.
- Checkout Cart Color — Set a border color around the selected product items on the checkout page.
- Now, assuming you’ve chosen to sell products or subscriptions, click the Continue button to add your product/subscription items.
Adding and Setting up a Product Item
After setting up the payment settings, the Continue button will take you to the Products tab. Add and set up your product items as detailed below:
- Click the Create New Product button.
- Set up your product item accordingly. In the Basic tab, you’ll have to provide the following:
- Name
- Price & Currency
- Description
- Image — You can upload multiple product images.
- Auto Scale Images — Keep this enabled if your product images are not the same size. This option will automatically scale the images to display them correctly in the product image window.
- Required — Enabling this will make the product uncheckable, which will always make it part of the total order.
- Selected by Default — Enable this to select the product in the form by default. If the Required is not enabled, customers can uncheck the product item. If the Required option is enabled, this is automatically enabled, and you can’t toggle it.
- Click the Save button at the bottom to save the product item. Here’s an example of a simple product setup:
Adding Quantity and Options to Your Products
If you’re selling a T-shirt, you can ask users to select a quantity, color, and size. To do this, you must add them through the Options tab of the Product Settings.
- On the Products tab, hover your mouse on the product you just added and click the Pencil icon to edit it.
- Go to the Options tab. There, you’ll find two options:
- Add a Quantity Selector — To add a quantity selector or input.
- Add a Product Option — Add product options such as Sizes, Colors, etc.
When adding a quantity, you can show it as a Dropdown or Textbox. Based on the chosen selector, you’ll find the following options
- Label — You can leave it as it says or set your own.
- Default Quantity — Shown when you select Textbox. Set 1 as the default or any default you want.
- Range — Shown when you select Dropdown as the selector. The first box is the minimum, and the second one is for the maximum quantity.
- Special Pricing Per Quantity — Enable this to offer fixed pricing based on the quantity. Visit How To Set Up the Special Pricing Option in the Payment Form for more details.
When adding a product option, you can set the following:
- Label — Set the label of the option you set.
- Create Sub Products from Options — Sub Product means the variation of the Options you’ve added. Please visit our user guide on how to Create Sub-Products Based on a Product Option for more details.
- Special Pricing Per Option — Set a different pricing for the options. Visit How to Set Up the Special Pricing Option in the Payment Form for more information.
- Populate Options from Presets — Jotform has a present for the Color, T-Shirt Size, Print Size, Screen Resolution, and Shoe Size. Select one to populate the options automatically.
See also: How to Add Options to Payment Forms.
Here’s an example of a product item with the quantity selector and product options with sub-products and special pricing:
Enabling Stock Control
Stock control will help you manage the number if you offer limited products. You can set this up on each product item you add. Go to the Stock tab and toggle Enable Stock Control. Set the options accordingly:
- Available Stock — This is the total quantity of products in your inventory.
- Enable Low Stock Alert — Toggle this option if you want to be notified if your inventory runs low.
- Low Stock Value — Set the value to trigger the low stock alert.
See How to Enable and Manage Product Stock in Payment Fields for more details.

Is there any development on the roadmap for allowing form variables to process a stripe transaction? I'd subscribe in a heartbeat if that were possible :)
More than a year ago
The more powerful approach would be to allow the field value variables from the form itself (email, product name, qty, price) to enable the payment transaction to proceed. Anyone using Jot forms as an addition to their existing no-code stacks, especially Airtable will agree. This is a problem I see again and again with platforms integrated with Airtable. Much of their appeal is the way in which they enhance a powerful, existing tool like Airtable. But instead of leaning in, features are added to restrict and block the power of those tools.

Hi,
Regarding to my last post last week, thank you but I already did the Special Pricing Per Option. What I meant is that we just want the option to add the same product to our submission but a different size or color and different quantity
Let's take for example in our product "HP 508A, Laserjet Toner Cartridge" the customer wants to buy 1 Black which costs PHP 8,600 and 2 Cyan which costs PHP 10,800 each in just one submission of the order form.
Is this possible?
Hoping for your soonest response!

Hi!
In my "Office and Toner Supplies Product Order Form", I have certain products wherein there are a lot of options with different prices. Is there an option wherein people can select multiple variation of a product in just one order form? For example, customer wants to buy 1 HP 995XL Ink Cartridge in Black which is 1,600 PHP and Cyan which is 1,100 PHP.
Hoping for your soonest feedback on this.
Thank you!

Hi.
I've been trying to figure out how to create a discount in JotForm. What I need is a form where customer can order events (or tickets if you like), so they have to insert the number of people who are coming to the event, and then, if they are 10, they will get a discount of lets say 10 %. If the group of people is 20, they'll get 20% off. And I need this to automatically calculate so the total amount will be correct.
Is there a way to do this? Would really appreciate some advice on this.
I'm also thinking the rice should be different for children, teenagers and adults, but the discount is the same for all groups.

Hey Aytekin Tank,
You know of me as a long time user for over 6 years with Jotform, socially positively spreading and praising for a long time.
I missed out on the lifetime deal. Now prices are going up. Can you please get me in on the $9.99? Remember you told me you were going to give me a cut if you guys ever sold Jotform platform to another company/if Jotform Inc/Interology gets bought out?
I just see now you guys opened up in San Fran/USA too now, not just in Turkey anymore. Glad to see you continue growing.
Thank You,

In the Payment Wizard for Authorize, it seems impossible to get past step 1 because under "Account Information," it is entirely clear what info we are supposed to enter in the "Credit Card" field. This help page only goes through the PayPal option, so again, as far as I can tell, Authorize integration is effectively impossible unless someone has a lucky guess what to put in the "credit card" field. Suggestions?

So far, I'm impressed with the capabilities of the jotform order forms, but my main reason to move away from Google Drive is in an attempt to find something that summarizes the responses conditionally to make the back end of the ordering process easier.
I'd like to be able to sort the submitted data by product, then the conditions (ie. size) for each
product.
Example:
(Rather than)
Order 1, Grey Shirt, Medium
Order 2, Grey Shirt, Small
Order 3, Orange Shirt, Medium
Order 4, Grey Shirt, Medium
(Something like this)
Grey Shirt
Small - 1
Medium - 2
Orange Shirt
Medium - 2
Is there any way to do this?

Is it possible to have 2 different types of payments offered? For instance some people like to pay for their season's membership with one payment, up front. However, a lot like to pay in 3 payments.
My first question is can I set that up - a single payment option AND a subscription offer all on the same page?
My second question is when do the subscription payments end? So If I want to set up 3 payments of $200, how does the system know to stop once it reaches $600?
That goes for the same with a subscription for a donation page. If I have a customer who wants to stop a reoccurring donation of $5, how do I do that? Can you put a stop date in?
