    Hi,

    I am trying to create a custom layout for the notification e-mail. When I embed the price merge tag it does not appear as price in the notification. But as the text of the label.

    We don't have a price field, but have you tried adding the value marker on the field to see if you get what you want?

    For example: {price:1:value}

    I tested it (see below) and no price output with the value marker.

    {Kies uw pakket:25} {Kies uw pakket:25:value}

    Is it a Total field? Again, I need to know the field type to be able to help you with this. Here is our documentation on Merge Tags:

    Hi David, I have a similar issue, were I like to add a price from a product field with a shipping field value:
    {canvas (price):13.2}+{shipping:44}

    Both fields do have comma separated price tags and if I add them, the shipping price is recognized as point separated price: It should be 20,00 € + 8,90 € = 28,90 €, but the case is, that GF adds 20,00 € + 89 € = 109 €! So I used the value part in shipping field, put into value entry 8.90 and changed the formular to
    {canvas (price):13.2}+{shipping:44:value}.

    But the result is as before 109 €!

    Is this a bug or am I do something wrong?

    Check out this page as well. Near the bottom of the page should help you find the merge tag you need:

    I checked that before, yes and I found two types which could be the one I have to use: the shipping field was setup as shipping with radio buttons for two values. But that doesn’t work. Now I tried a radio button field instead and put into values as comma separated decimals and yes, now it works. Thanks.

    Am I correct that it is not possible to use calculations in the confirmation message?

    That is correct. Feel free to leave an example use case and request it in Feature Requests.
