How to Create Conditional Calculations with WordPress

In the last few years, the demand for eCommerce websites has exploded.  Whether your client sells digital or physical products, they need a way to entice potential customers, compete in their niche and close the sale.

This means they’ve probably asked you to build a WordPress form that includes coupon codes. You may have looked around at other form builders, trying to figure out which product is the best. Well, you can stop looking.

Our Calculations builder is a free feature that comes with Ninja Forms. You can use the calculations to collect payments, calculate a quiz score, and even create, you guessed it, discounts or coupon codes!

With the help of our Conditional Logic add-on, you can turn your simple calculation form into a smart form that can change values based on user input.  For example, say your client is selling books on their eCommerce site, and they want to offer a 25% discount to customers who buy more than five books. With our free Calculation builder and Conditional Logic add-on, you can, in just four easy steps.

So let’s get into it!
