Can conditional fields be set up in the checkout process in Webflow? For instance, showing additional fields based on the quantity of a product being purchased. For example, requesting personal details for each participant if purchasing multiple tickets for a trip.
TL;DR
- Use product options with predefined quantities and visibility conditions, though this is not scalable for large numbers.
- Create a multi-step form to control field visibility based on quantity before redirecting to checkout, requiring integration tools like Zapier.
- Implement custom JavaScript to dynamically adjust fields based on selected quantity, though this demands coding knowledge.
- Consider external checkout services (e.g., Foxy.io, Shopify Buy Buttons) for greater flexibility in conditional fields.
Webflow's native Ecommerce checkout process does not support conditional fields dynamically based on product quantity. However, there are potential workarounds to achieve this functionality.
1. Use Product Options for Fixed Quantity Inputs
- Webflow allows you to add product variants or custom fields (like a dropdown or text input) when configuring a product.
- If you have a small, limited number of tickets (e.g., max 5 per order), you could create predefined options ("Buy 1 Ticket", "Buy 2 Tickets", etc.), each triggering different fields using visibility conditions.
- Limitation: This approach does not scale well for users selecting a high number of tickets.
2. Use a Multi-Step Form Instead of Checkout
- Instead of relying on Webflow's checkout, create a custom multi-step form where users first select quantity.
- Then, use Webflow’s conditional visibility settings within the form to show fields based on user input.
- After submission, redirect them to a customized checkout page with the correct total.
- Limitation: Requires integration with Webflow CMS and possibly Make (Integromat) or Zapier to connect form submissions to Ecommerce.
3. Custom Code with JavaScript
- You can add custom JavaScript to detect the selected quantity and dynamically show/hide additional participant fields.
- Example steps:
- Detect changes in the quantity input.
- Generate additional form fields dynamically.
- Pass that information into Webflow’s checkout custom fields via hidden inputs.
- Limitation: Requires JavaScript knowledge and wouldn’t be a "no-code" solution.
4. Consider External Checkout Services
- Using Shopify Buy Buttons, Foxy.io, or Snipcart, you can achieve a fully dynamic checkout experience with conditional fields.
- These platforms give you more flexibility to add custom form logic while still embedding within Webflow.
Summary
Webflow's native checkout does not support conditional fields, but you can use product options, a multi-step form, or custom JavaScript as workarounds. If you need complete flexibility, consider using an external checkout system like Foxy.io.
