Calculated Fields and Math
Do you run an eCommerce business? Create quotes for potential customers? Offer price comparisons on your website?
If you said yes to any of the above, you need a form calculation tool. Why do the math yourself? It's time to finally say goodbye to paper forms & manual calculations!
With Formidable, you can build forms capable of powerful calculations. Take the hassle away from adding up costs or providing quotes manually. With our calculated fields, you can build a fully customizable WordPress calculator plugin (or use one of our many pre-built calculator templates)!
Calculated form fields and Math are included in the core Formidable Pro plugin.
How do calculator forms work?
Formidable form calculations can work with either user input or default values to create a calculation to fit virtually any scenario.
Formidable Forms can also work in tandem with eCommerce platforms such as WooCommerce. That way, you can create a seamless shopping experience for your eCommerce website. Or, you can build your own eCommerce solution from scratch using out built-in pricing & product fields!
You can even integrate form calculations with payment processors such as PayPal or Stripe. This removes any hassle of collecting payment by having everything in one place. No more missed payments, delays or inaccurate transactions to worry about.
The total is updated each time a field used in the calculation is changed.
Formidable Forms has allowed me to accomplish the styling, simplicity, and customization I desired. I wouldn't have been able to create this application if it weren't for the built-in calculator functions, amazing support staff, and detailed technical documentation on the Formidable website.
