Type:

Common HTML input elements include text, select, radio buttons, and checkboxes.

Some of the fields require the input of additional options which can be chosen by the customer during checkout. An example would be a dropdown menu of choices.

Choosing the Dropdown Select field allows you to ask your customer a question and provide them with a list of possible answers to choose from.

Depending on the type of field you select, the Options tab updates to enable further customization.

In our example of a dropdown field, you are now presented with a list of three options in the field's Options tab.

These options can be edited to reflect your requirements. See below for more details on the options tab. 

 

Checkfront Tip:

For more detailed information on the type of fields available and how to customize multiple-choice questions, please review our support document on the Booking Form & Field Editor.
