Payment Integration - Dollar Amount This allows for a user to enter a minimum and/or maximum amount in the field. If a minimum is entered, the user must enter something, as it is a required field.
Payment Integration - Quantity This will give the user a subtotal using the quantity and price of an item. This will also ‘total’ all of these items at the bottom of the form, if you choose ‘Online Take Out Form’ as the Form Type in the General tab when setting up the form. Please note: there is no tax and/or service charge or way to calculate it with these fields at this time.

Time This field displays a dropdown menu with time in increments of 15 minutes, from 12:00 am to 11:45 pm. There is no way to ‘limit’ the times to a certain timeframe, such at 12:00-4:00 pm. If you’d like to limit the timing, it’s best to use Select List instead.
Text Field This allows the person setting up the question to limit the response to a certain number of characters, as well as the type of characters that can be entered.
