Payment Calculation: Different Prices for Members and Non-Members Based on a Question

hi i was wondering if you can help me with payment. im working on the vbs 2026 application.

So i need non member to pay $60 per kid for event and $40 for church members. How can i do that so that it calculates properly at the end.

Hi Alina,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

Let me help you with setting up different payment amounts for church members and non-members in your VBS 2026 application form.

Heres how to do it:

1. Add a Single Choice field to your form to ask whether the registrant is a church member or a non-member. For example, label it "Membership Status" with options "Church Member" and "Non-Member."
2. Add a Product List field for the kids attending, where you can set the price per kid.
3. Set up Special Pricing Per Option in the Product List field to assign different prices based on the membership status. You can do this by adding a Product Option for "Church Member" with a price of $40 and another for "Non-Member" with a price of $60.
4. Use Conditional Logic to show or hide the appropriate pricing options based on the answer to the Membership Status question. This ensures the form calculates the correct amount depending on the selection.

This way, the form will calculate the total payment correctly at the end based on whether the registrant is a church member or not.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Hi Alina,

What you can do is add another IF Statement to insert the child value for members and non members in your condition. For example, your conditions should look like this:

Would you be able to do it for me on my 2026 VBS Application?

Can I get help then? Thank you

Hi Alina,

I cloned and checked your form and found that it is currently charging $50 per child for the event. Based on the new rule you shared, where nonmembers should be charged $60 per child, and members should be charged $40 per child, a good way to set this up is by using calculation values in the question that asks whether the form filler is a member or not. You can assign the following:

• Yes = 40
• No = 60

Then, that value can be multiplied by the number of children being registered, so the total amount updates based on their membership status and selected quantity. Let me show you how to set this up:

1. In Form Builder, select the Single Choice element that asks whether the user is a member or not.

2. Next, click on the Gear icon, and in the menu on the right, click on the Options tab.

3. Now, under the Options tab, toggle On the Calculation Values option.

4. Then, assign Calculation Values for each option similar to what's shown above.

After that, we’ll turn off the calculation values for the Dropdown field used to select the number of children being registered. This way, the selected number can directly serve as the multiplier for the per-child rate, which will be either $60 or $40, depending on whether the registrant is a member. Let me show you how:

1. While still in Form Builder, select the Dropdown field that asks for the number of children to register.

2. After that, click on the Gear icon, and in the menu on the right, click on the Options tab.

3. Then, under the Options tab, toggle Off the Calculation Values option.

Finally, set the formula in the Total Form Calculation widget, which is currently being used as the source in the Get Price From section of your Payment field, as shown below:
