Add pricing without payment (form is simply for quoting)


Forum|alt.badge.img

We are a custom shop that allows many modifications to our product under many categories.

For every category, I have a multiple choice question, from which they can select either 1 or sometimes multiple answers, all of which may or may not have an upcharge associated with it. 

I am creating a “design your own” form through which customers can select their custom options submit, and then the form will send them an Email with how much the total will be, dependent on their choices.

When using “Branches and calculations”, I can only use the @score variable, not the @price, unless I add a payment question. I do not want to receive any payments through typeform, just have it add up and send them an email with the selections they made and the total. 

 

How can I do this?

@rickraybarto - create your variable called q_price and add the values to that .. then you can show the users a statement page, if you like with something like the following:

Here’s your estimate: @q_Price ….. 

 

where the @q_price usage will pull in the value in the variable..

@john.desborough Thank you! Every year we do a pricing update. Is there any easier way to have all these prices in one place to update or is the only way to do it to go into the Branching and calculations and update the rules in each question for each choice?

@rickraybarto - if you only update it once a year, it is probably easier to leave it in the typeform and edit the numbers.that will take less effort and time than setting up a process using the APIs to do this outside of typeform and pass the details in as a new form. 

just my opinion

@john.desborough I read somewhere that it makes it easier to add a variable for every option so you can just return to variables later and update everything in one place. Then the logic would be

 

if q1 = a then + @variable_1 to @q_price

 

where the variable is the price filled in the number field

 

would this work?

@john.desborough Sorry to keep bugging you! but I just want to make sure this will work for our purposes before we buy it. 

 

I tested it on a couple of sections, for example:

if q1 = a then + @variable_1 to @q_price

if q2 = b then + @variable_2 to @q_price

if q1 = f then + @variable_3 to @q_price

 

and when I did that… the Email I got with the responses included the answers to the questions and ALL the variables (not just the ones associated with their answers) including the @scare which I do not use, though it did calculate the @q_price properly. 

 

I just want to make sure that both I and the customer will receive an Email that just states their answers to the questions and the final @q_price (preferably in $ format). Will this be possible? Do I have to pay to customize this?

@rickraybarto - you would need to edit the Follow-ups (notification) email to the user to show only the info that you want.. ie write some static text and show the appropriate answers/variables that you want to show and place the variable like this: $@q_price   so that you have the $ hard coded in front of the varliable
