Cart66 product options/variations and Gravity Forms

Apologies if this has already been answered but it is difficult to search without already being a licence holder..

I am thinking of using Gravity Forms in conjunction with Cart66 specifically to increase the number of product options that a customer can select from when making an order (Cart 66 only I believe allows two). Will Gravity forms enable this and what exactly would I need to purchase to enable this?

If it helps, I'm looking at integrating orders with PayPal Standard or Express.

Also have you a link which explains how integration between Cart66 and Gravity Forms is effected?

Many thanks.

Thank you so much for the reply. Would you mind answering another couple of questions, if I'm not pushing my luck!

- would this take care of setting shipping tariffs by destination? (I'm assuming yes)

- what added benefit do you get with the PayPal add-on? Is this needed if you want to incorporate a GF order form that then requires PayPal as the gateway? (Again, I'm assuming yes)

- Am I going to need a developer licence to accomplish a) additional product variations and b) shipping costs by destination if I'm using PayPal as the payment method? (once more, I'm assuming yes)

Thanks so much, again.

Fred, it looks like you've accomplished exactly what I want to do with cart66 and gf but with no success. I've set up a shell product in cart66 and linked it to a gf which has simple pricing. I have a base product with a price and then I want to offer via options a standard version with no added cost and then a deluxe version which is $4 more. Gravity forms handles this correctly...i enter the quantity and get the correct total. However, when I go to the cart I do not get the correct price...it seems to just pick up the price from the cart66 product definition. Am I missing something here? Please help. Thank you.

@Fred

Man you are a Lifesaver! I've been trying to figure out how to get that to work, and was just about to give up on Cart66 / Gravity Forms! But this works nearly perfect, of course it should work by adding just the $1

But this is a small price to pay to hard coding the forms myself, Gravity Forms will save hours of work.

Thank.

I made a Quantiy field from the Pricing Fields option and disabled the quantity field when I added in a product from the pricing field (also I set the price of the product to 0).

It's a little counter-intuitive but I got it to work eventually.

I have the exact same issue above

Hmm how recent was the upgrade because I have it working on one of my sites but I just installed Cart 66 on a new website w/ Gravity Forms and it isn't working like you guys describe.

I thought it was because this new site I haven't yet put in the activation codes for Gravity Forms / Cart 66 (it's a large site i'm testing this new cart out on.

Yeah I just downgraded my site to Cart66 version 1.1.6 Version 1.2.1 breaks the functionality. Should hopefully be an easy fix.

So I guess it's definitely a problem once you upgrade, if anyone needs a download link for 1.1.6 I can provide it until Cart66 fixes the problem.

That's a great help thank you

Oops, I have two more problems. The form quantity now works with that bit of code, but I have separate questions.

It was suggested above to make a "Product" under "Pricing Fields" with a $0.00 amount and quantity disabled. It seems this is necessary to show all info submitted to the email received (and in cart). The problem is that it says always says $0 at the bottom of the submitted form which is kind of confusing. I would hide this for admin to see only, but it isn't an option under advanced.

Second, and probably more importantly, if I have an option in the form...say, Option with choices A, B, C, at certain price points, when I get the email (or in the cart) it only shows Option with price, but not what choice was selected.

Thanks for all the help guys, I am so close.

Hi There, Not sure about what you are trying to do. Are you using a 'Total' field on your form (even though its linked to a product in Cart66)? Are you talking about when you look at the form entry or the Order itself? Or is it the reciept?

Ok think I understand. Here are the steps for a test form that should do everything you want (assuming you have made the code changed I detailed above depending on the version Cart66 you are running) for a Gravity Form product you want to offer options on ...

Create a new Gravity form and add the following three fields from the 'Pricing' Section:
- Quantity
- Product
- Total

Now, edit the 'Product' field and select/enter the following:
- 'Field Type' = 'Drop Down'
- tick 'Enable Values'
- Edit the 'Choices' to look like this:
Label | Value | Price
Choice 1 | +$10 First Choice | $10.00
Choice 2 | +$15 First Choice | $15.00
Choice 3 | +$20 First Choice | $20.00
- Save!
Your form should now update the total correctly.

Now create a Cart66 Product that uses this Gravity Form. Configure your product as follows :
- 'Price' of $0.00
- 'Attach Gravity Form' (select your form)
- 'Quantity Field' (select you quantity field on your form)
- save!

This should see both the Gravity form entry and the cart totals all align nicely. Hope this helps.
