multiple forms on one page

    I have 20 products that have different sku, description, prices, and 2 options which are to choose the color and quantity. If the customer wishes to have the item personalized, the options are all the same. They choose text layout, font, thread color, additional embellishments.

    If I'm thinking correctly about this, then I would have a form for part one (item specific) and then another form for part two (personalization specific). Reasoning is that if the part 2 form changes, I don't want to have to change 20 forms to make one change.

    So, what I want to happen is for the customer to select color and quantity, and then if they want personalization to check a checkbox which will use the conditional logic to display different options, depending on what type of monogramming they want.

    Is this possible in Gravity Forms, or do I need to create a complete form for each product? If so, could someone explain how this works or point me to documentation on how to do it?

    Thanks,
    Alisa

    Conditional logic can't be used to affect another form. It will all have to be in one form if you want to use conditional logic. And rather than make one form for each product, there is probably a way to use one form and embed it with different default values selected on various pages. It depends where the information comes from that determines which product they're looking at.

    It's probably not necessary to create 20 nearly identical forms. Create one form and figure out what is different, and pre-populate those values.

    I put this on the back burner for a while and am now back working on it. Basically I did a lot of thinking this through and exploring other eCommerce options. I never found another solution that allowed for conditional logic like this one does.

    I've got my basic embellishment form built that works depending on different conditional items chosen. It works the way I want it to in the preview, so I'm happy with that.

    Now I need to have the top part which is specific to each product, i.e. price, product description, quantity and the second part which deals with embellishment (which is the same for all products). I suppose quantity could go with either part.

    The top part (SKU, product description, price, qty) has no conditional logic. The bottom part is almost entirely conditional logic, but does not depend on anything from the top part. Should this be 1 or 2 forms? and can they be on the same page?

    Is there anyone who can tell me how to take the part which is product specific and marry that to the part that is embellishment specific?

    Thanks,
    Alisa

    I would use one form for all of it. It will make marrying the two parts easier. You can split it up with section breaks or page breaks if you want.
