Driving pricing from a selected variable

  1. I would like to have a form that captures the date to determine the price for a product.

    I have a product that is priced "X" on the weekends and "Y" during weekdays. Thus, there are only two prices.

    I would like a date field to determine the price to use, or I could even go as far as having a drop down box that user selects saying "Weekend" or "Weekday"

    Then, based on that selection I need a price to be used on any and all calculations throughout the rest of the form. Does this make sense?

    In other words, if they select "Weekend" then the price is $50 per person. I need to hold that $50 and use it to be multiplied by another field (quantity) which would be number of persons. The weekday price might be $47, so total calculated would be different.

  2. Pricing based on date selected in a Date Field is not a support feature. Pricing is only calculated through the use of the Pricing Fields available in the form editor.

    The Product Field is the primary field, the Option Field is used with Product Fields for Options such as size/color/etc., the Quantity field is self explanatory and is tied to a Product Field and the Total displays the calculated Total.

    In your case your Quantity would be the number of people so you could change the Field Label of the Quantity Field to ask how many people. You would have to play with those field types and see how you could use them to accomplish a work around for what you want to do.

  3. Thank you Carl. I think I've managed a pretty cool work around by having user select "weekend" or "weekday" and then using conditional logic to show them pricing that I want them to see. Appreciate the response.
