How to Create a WhatsApp Order Form?

1. Create a new Google Form
ADD PRODUCTS AND PRICES
2. Start by adding the products/items that are available for sale, with their names as questions in Google Forms.
For example, "White Mushrooms 250g pack".
3. (Optional) Add images of your products.
4. Add a dropdown to let your customers choose how many packets or kilos they want.
5. Add their prices in the question's description. Remember there are some specific conventions (syntax) to to let Formfacade know the currency that your currency and the prices, so it will use the it for calculations:
---Add the price with the currency symbol followed by the amount.
---Leave a space and add extra details like whether the price is for a pack or per kilo.
Here, I went ahead and added all the items to the form, with nice images and their prices.

Add delivery details
6. Add more questions to the form to ask the customers delivery details, like their name, phone number and address.
Add Order Total and Order Summary
7. Add two questions to the Google Forms - Total amount and Order summary. You can use WhatsTarget add-on later to add calculation logic to these fields.
Now, your form will look complete.

Install WhatsTarget from GSuite Marketplace:
1. Click on three dots on the top right of your Google Form.
2. Click on "Add-ons" from the menu.
3. It opens up a list of GSuite Marketplace apps. On the "Search apps" bar type "WhatsTarget".
4. Click on the thumbnail of WhatsTarget app and follow the install and authorization steps to get it added to your Google Form
5. On the Google Form, click on the WhatsTarget add-on from the add-on menu.

6. Click on "Configure WhatsApp Number". You need to configure your WhatsApp number that you want to receive your orders on. Make sure to enter it with your country code starting with a plus. The format should be
+<<Country code>> <<Your whatsapp number>>
For example: +1 650 699 6650

As the next step, I will now add the calculation logic to these forms.
1. Click on the WhatsTarget add-on from the add-on menu.
2. Click on "Customize this form".
3. On the popup, click on "Proceed".
4. Your form will now be opened in WhatsTarget's app in an editable mode for further customizations.
5. Scroll down to reach the two questions you have added for showing calculations - Order summary and Total Amount.

ORDER SUMMARY
6. Click on the gear icon next to Order summary field
7. It opens up a side bar window with options to customize the question and the description.
8. In the description, use WhatsTarget's custom function called "SUMMARY" ("$",true) There are two parameters to this function, one to specify which currency you use in the prices of my products. and the second one for whether you want to add a summary of the order across all the sections.
If you have used € in your prices, your formula should be SUMMARY("€",true)
If you have used ₹ in your prices, your formula should be SUMMARY("₹",true)
9. Finally, enclose the formula within "$" symbol and curly braces to let WhatsTarget know that it is a calculated field. So, the final formula will look like ${SUMMARY("$",true)}
Now, this will give you a consolidated summary of all the product selections and its quantity from across all the sections of the form.
10. Save and return back to WhatsTarget's customization screen.

TOTAL AMOUNT
1. Click on the gear icon next to "Total amount" field.
2. Click on the "Answer" tab.
3. On the "Calculate" option, use WhatsTarget's custom formula named "AMOUNT" (in all caps). Again, with two parameters, first to say which currency you use, and then "whether to add up the total of all the selections across all sections,. Enclose it within ${} to let WhatsTarget know that it is a calculation formula. So, the final formula will look like ${AMOUNT("$",true)}

You are now done with the formulas. You can now check how it works!

PREVIEW & TEST THE FORM AND ITS CALCULATIONS
1. Switch from edit mode to preview mode by clicking on the "Share" option on the top of the WhatsTarget's app.
2. Click on the little icon about the link to open up the link of this customized form.
3. Your original Google Form will be rendered into a neat looking form. You can now select the products and change the quantity to see how the calculation of Order Summary and Total Amount field works.
