How to add products sold by quantity?

"I wanted to give respondents the option of entering their own quantity"- Google Docs Editors Community

Google Forms has no quantity box. If you sell packets, jars or snacks and a customer wants three of one thing and one of another, you end up with a question for each product, a list of numbers as its choices and no price beside them. The form can't add up the order either, so you work out each total by hand. With Neartail, you mark a product as sold by quantity. Customers pick how many they want when they add it to the cart, and the cart adds up the total as they go. You can also upload your menu or price list as a PDF or an image and Neartail turns it into your form.

Let's start. Create your order form and follow the steps below.
