Data Entry Forms (aka Modifiers)

Description: Forms can be added to collect a information (e.g., invoice #, departments, names, dates, etc.), and can also be used to modify the price of a product. Forms are built with a TouchNet feature called “Modifiers”… There are two types.

Option 1) User Modifiers

1. This produces one form at the end of the purchase process.
2. Access this form builder from the left side menu under Store Settings > User Modifier.

Option 2) Product Modifiers

Product modifiers are form fields that appear right after the customer adds an item to their cart (so every product can have its own form to gather info). You may access this form builder from within each Products settings under "Add/Manage Modifiers". You can add drop-down menus, text boxes, phone numbers specific fields. You can choose to require all fields, or some fields, or no fields. As an example, here's help on how to add a Product "text field" modifier:

1. Login to TouchNet https://secure.touchnet.net/central
2. Under Applications, select Marketplace
3. Expand Store Settings
4. Go to Products
5. Click on your product
6. Under General Settings > click "Add Modifier"
7. Under Add Modifier Type > select "Text Entry"
8. Set Name to the info you're looking for (e.g. Attendees Name)
9. Set Type to Required if it is
10. Set Format Validation to Free Text unless you have other specific needs
11. Set Character limits if needed
12. Set price adjustment if needed
13. Select to Hide Modifier in Confirmation Email if you're collecting sensitive data
14. Set Frequency to static if the buyer can purchase only one product, or dynamic if they can purchase multiples.
15. Click Add Modifier
16. NOTE: buyers will not see these form fields until they click the Add to Cart button.
