PayPal event tickets

    Hi guys

    Really need your help. The answer is possibly very obvious, I just can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.

    I am doing a project and the client has event tickets to sell in packages, i.e. gold, silver and bronze. Each package has a price for children, adults and OAP. I simply can't find the best way to enter this in the form with the PayPal add on. (PayPal is how they will pay.)

    I have tried drop down options, but each time I select a new option, the total resets to that value, rather than being added to the total, as it may need to be if people buy various tickets. Other than having a separate box for each value in each package (which wouldn't look the best) I don't know how to display all this data.

    Also, is there anywhere a reset button, to reset the total should someone select a package or quantity incorrectly?

    Please help!

  2. Hi Dswebdesigns,

    Hm, good question. This is a tough scenario. It might not be the prettiest solution, but if the user is supposed to be able to select as many tickets as they'd like from each package, it sounds like you'll need to make each "option" it's own product, and just list them.

    Bronze Package (Child) $5:00
    [Quantity Input]

    Bronze Package (Adult) $8:00
    [Quantity Input]

    Bronze Package (OAP) $6:00
    [Quantity Input]

    You could optionally include a checkbox field above the product list and prompt the user to select which packages they are interested in purchases tickets for (ie Bronze, Silver, Gold). Hide all the products via conditional logic and only show the fields based on which packages the user selects.
