Better way to have conditional pricing?

  1. Mike

    I have a service based business with multiple pricing tiers. This is currently how I have my form setup:

    Radio Buttons: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3

    Product Level 1 (conditional)
    Choices:
    Choice A - $1
    Choice B - $2
    Choice C - $3

    Product Level 2 (conditional)
    Choices:
    Choice A - $4
    Choice B - $5
    Choice C - $6

    Product Level 3 (conditional)
    Choices:
    Choice A - $7
    Choice B - $8
    Choice C - $9

    Even with these limited amount of options, if I wanted to change the price of "Choice A", I'd need to change the prices in 3 different product fields. If I added more "levels" then there would be even more conditional fields. There has to be a better way of doing this that isn't so convoluted. Calculation options? Hidden fields? What can I do to make this easier?

  2. Mike, if each of these product field groupings has it's own, independent set of pricing and details, I'm not sure of a different way to do accomplish this. As it stands right now, your user will be able to clearly tell what they are purchasing and so will PayPal - and yourself in the entry.

    I don't think calculations would work here and that would be far more of a headache to produce correctly since you have multiple choices over multiple products. Perhaps someone else has an idea that I'm not thinking of and will chime in for you.
