Order form - is it doable?

    Hi,

    I need to build an order form for about 250-500 products. Each listing will include a thumbnail image, short product description, product name, product ID and an order quantity box. I also need to have a customer contact form as part of the same form which flows into a summary of what the customer ordered.

    The summary should comprise line itemed Product Name, Product ID and qty ordered. It's a B2B business and there is no pricing or checkout. The pricing is handled by us once we get the order.

    Is this something Gravity Forms can do? If so any hints on the best direction to take would be much appreciated. I'll be using the Genesis framework on Wordpress.

    Many thanks

    This is a case where Gravity Forms can do what you want, but will require a fair bit of customization to make this all work as a single system.

    Based on you decription I would think you could have a single order form that is dynamically populated depending on what product your on. When they submit this form (ideally through ajax) it adds that product to their current session.

    When they're ready to submit the order and contact information, you can create a bit of code that populates a portion of the order submission form with a list of the items they've added to their "cart" for that session.

    Just a thought. This would definitely be an advanced customization that would require some developer assistance if you are not one yourself. Good luck! :)

    Hi David,

    Thanks for your prompt response. I've got rudimentary HTML/CSS chops but learn pretty quick. Haven't had to dive into php or anything else yet but willing to give it a shot. Based on that if you think the scope of the project might be too big do you have any tips on where I could find some learning resources or developer assistance?

    I appreciate your help

    Best
