Create an app for a tour.

I am confused by Forms. Does each walking tour have a separate form for the whole tour, or would each stop have to have its own form? For instance, I create a cemetery tour with 12 stops where I give the history. Would each stop with information be a separate form? Below is my vision of the product, but I am unsure how many forms I would need to create that. I am unsure if each photo is a page, too. Please read below to see what product I would like to create.

Here is a synopsis of what I am trying to create:

An interested party downloads my tour company's app. On that app they will have many walking tours through the area to choose from. They would click the link, or icon, and then be sent to a page where they pay $1.00 to access the tour. After payment is accepted, the tour would load in, with a map of the area, where several stops would be highlighted by "a pin." When they reach the destination, they click on a pin where, perhaps, a small window pops up allowing them to read about the history and possibly view a photo (that could be optional).

Hi Nicole,

Regarding your question about how to structure forms for your walking tour app, you generally have two main options. You can create a single form for the whole tour, that covers the entire tour. This form can have multiple pages or sections, each representing a stop with its history and optional photo. Users would navigate through the stops within the same form.

Alternatively, you could create individual forms for each stop. Each form would contain the information and photo for that specific stop. Users would access each form separately, possibly through links or pins on the map.

Since your vision includes a payment step before accessing the tour, you can set up a payment integration on the initial form or landing page, where users pay $1.00. After payment, they can be directed to the tour content.

For the interactive map with pins, this functionality is typically handled outside Jotform itself, such as within your app or website, where each pin could link to the relevant form or section of the form. In summary, if you want a seamless experience with all stops in one place, a multipage form is a good choice. If you prefer modular access or detailed tracking per stop, separate forms might work better.

Once you start building your form and app you can always reach out to us for assistance, or you might consider to work with a third party who may be able to help you.
