List of products
In this tutorial, we are going to pretend we are a fast-food delivery place and we want to create an online order system for our website. We have the following products:
- Mains:
- Hamburger: $5.5 per piece
- Hamburger menu: $8.5 per piece

The delivery fee will be $3.5.
Create order lists
Go ahead and click the "+" icon in the top right to see an overview of all the available elements for your calculator. Select the "Order List" question by clicking on it or dragging it into the canvas. Now you need to:
- Change the title of the question to "Mains”.
- Add "$" as prefix and "per piece" as postfix.
- Add all the foods as "items" (there are three items added which you can edit).
After that, press “Done”, and create two more “Order list” in the same way for: “Extras” and “Desserts”.
Capturing customer details
Now let's capture customer details.After clicking “+”, go to “Advanced questions” and set up these three:
- Text question: for customer’s name
- Text question: for customer’s phone number
- Email question: for customer’s e-mail.
Add a formula

The equation will be:
