How do I generate a product price using Field Calculations?

  1. Let's say I have a product that is $200. I want to offer a 50% discount.

    Can I have a field that says: Have coupon? If they enter in the correct code, it generates a product price of $100. Is this possible? I read the Field Calculations description on the site and it sort of suggested that such a thing could be accomplished...

    Do you want to offer 50% off just a single instance, or 50% off each of the quantity that they select?

  3. Well there won't be any quantity for this. Ultimately we'd like to offer a 25% discount, a 50% discount, and a 100% discount. I assume the logic would be the same regardless of the amount though...

    That's correct. You can create Products that have negative values and then use an input field for a person to enter the code. Then using Conditional Logic, you can have those negative value products display or hide based on the code entered in the input box.

    So if you know your main product is $200 and you want to give them a discount of 50%, you can create a product called 50% off, make the price -100 and then set it via Conditional Logic to only show when Coupon Code is valid.

  6. The part I'm stuck on is not knowing how to check whether or not the coupon code is valid....I don't really know how to use the calculations function. Would you be able to give me a hand?

    You don't need to use the calculations function, do you? As for checking the coupon code, in your conditional logic, you would have a "Show this field if All is true" You would select the input field where the user will type in their code, and then on the right, you would type in the code you want to be the "valid" code.

  9. Can you provide a sample code for adding a coupon code to a Gravity Form?

  11. Sorry for the inconvenience. I took a closer look at your post and figured in out.
