Why is there no question type for Currency?

Hi, we are beginning to use Typeform for loans but not having a field that formats currency is becoming kind of a deal breaker :( 

Please include some kind of mask in a number field to format the input as a currency.

Also looking for the “Currency” field if asking for a financial input.

Both currency and formatted number entry (e.g. 1,000,000 vs. the current 1000000) are really important. I’m stunned that Typeform doesn’t have this already. Feels like there are many form libraries that provide this automatically. I understand some of the issues of converting a number format into CSV and then getting the annoying scientific notation interpretation in Excel’s digestion of the CSV output. But, Typeform should tackle this!

I too expected a currency field. 

+1 for the currency field. Feels like an easy win here….

Thanks for the feedback, @rd4282 @tjericson ! It’s not currently in the works, but if that changes, we’ll post so here. 

Where is the currency format?

Hi again, @Wealth Management , similar to my response to you on the other post, this isn’t a feature we offer at this time. 

I’m a bit shocked that Typeform doesn’t have this. You have calculations and videos that speak of the price of a pizza in currency, yet the person completing the form doesn’t have the option to do the same. We work in finance. This kindof blows the idea of using this extensively.

Potentially on to the next one. 

Hi @Brian A thanks for sharing your feedback! I’ll send it along to the product team. 

It's been 2 years since the community requested numbers with commas. It's discouraging!

I definitely feel the pain, @brunosevero ! I know the product team is currently working on the 2024 roadmap, so I’m hoping this feature will be included. 🙂

Hey there @Liz I agree with @brunosevero, @rd4282, @Brian A, and @Wealth Management and am also surprised it’s been years since this was brought up but not yet resolved. This is a deal breaker for me and I suspect others. Not having this totally wrecks our credibility as companies that deal in the finance realm.

I’ll let the others chime in but we need:

1. Ability to enable commas
2. Ability to enable currency in (e.g. Dollar, Euro, Yen, Pound, etc.)
3. Ability to enable decimals and set the decimal place
4. Ability to enable the input to be a percent

I would look to how Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel enable numerical formatting.

Thanks for sharing this, @danzaharia ! And also thanks for sharing a bit about where you’d be using the forms - this is helpful for product to know the use cases behind features requested like this. 

+1 for a currency field. The unformatted number field isn’t as presentable in finished forms as it should be. Dev team please add this!!! 

Typeform offers beautiful forms. Having numbers input and variables calculated in Currency Format with comma separators is a must-have for my business. 

I don’t want to be forced to use Jotform for this functionality so please consider adding this as soon as possible.

Thank you

Yeah I also agree with this.. it has been a long time since typeform really improved… and this seems like a no-brainer

From Typeform’s support. Might be helpful for the folks here. TL;DR Don’t wait for this, no timeline...

Hi team Typeform, 

ok the lack of decimal, currency and even negative numbers is a big no no for Typeform. What I understand from your dev team is that they fear breaking integrations when they introduce those classes. The foundation is shaky unfortunately. 

A suggestion that won’t break integrations is to add proper validation to the short text field. The form builder could specify what the user can and cannot enter using either regular expressions directly, or pre-specified templates. 

So for instance when the user tries to enter 8,00 as decimal (common in Netherlands), an error will pop up stating “please use “.” as a decimal point. That would already be 1000 times better than the current state where users give me headaches. Try calculating the average of 

€100,5

10.6

100.5euro 

etc. 

This solution will store the results in a text field still so no integration will break and gives us consistent data entry.

Please please please Typeform up your numbers game!

Hi @rutgerh Thanks for sharing this feedback and ideas. I’ll pass it along to the product team. 😀

PLEASE

PLEASE

PLEASE ADD A CURRENCY FIELD !!!!

I’m not a techie guy, so please explain why there are no currency fields on Typeform?

I absolutely LOVE this platform and have used it in all of my businesses for many years. The problem, for me, is that my businesses are in the finance sector, where displaying figures like this;

£2,375,695.78

.. are far more readable, user-friendly and crucial than displaying

2375695.78, where mistakes can be easily made.

Typeform has fields for practically every other purpose and I’ve seen this request many times over the years.

Surely it wouldn’t take more that a couple of days for your programmers to add this field as an option?  

I would be willing to bet 2375695.78 that you would increase your client base by hundreds of global finance companies.

Thanks for listening.

Hi ​@MarwoodCommercialFinance I added your post here so if we do add this field, you’ll get updated! Adding your vote to the list!

Thanks Liz.👍🏻

I would imagine that for every 1 person requesting a currency field, there are hundreds who want one but haven’t taken the time to request one ….and even more who haven’t subbed to Typeform in the first place due to it’s absence.

(just trying to build a commercial case in the hope that it’ll push the dev team to come up with a solution🤣)
