Formaloo’s Reservation System helps you manage limited availability for options within your forms, preventing overbooking and ensuring fair allocation. Whether you're selling event tickets, scheduling appointments, or managing limited inventory, this feature keeps everything organized.
If you’re selling event tickets, scheduling meetings, or tracking limited resources, this system gives you full control:
Event tickets: Reserve limited-capacity tickets (e.g., only 100 VIP passes).
Appointments: Prevent double-booked time slots.
Limited inventory: Control availability for products or resources (e.g., workshop seats or equipment checkouts).
Previously, managing these limits required manual workarounds or external tools. Now, it’s fully integrated into Formaloo, no coding or extra apps needed.
Here's how to set it up:
1. Start with a form
You can:
Create a new form from scratch
Use a template (like our Event Registration Template) for quick setup

2. Enable reservation system when all options have the same limit
This method is best when each option has the same availability limit (e.g., 10 tickets each for VIP, General, and Early Bird tiers).
Add a Dropdown field to your form.
Enter your options (e.g., "VIP," "General Admission," "Early Bird").
Toggle "Enable availability limit" and enter the maximum number of selections allowed (e.g., 10).
This applies the same limit to every option within the Dropdown field.
📌 Example:
VIP (10 max)
General Admission (10 max)
Early Bird (10 max)
3. Enable reservation system when options have different limits
Use this method if you need a unique limit for each option (e.g., 5 Early Bird tickets, 10 VIP tickets, and 7 General Admission tickets).
Add a separate Dropdown field for each option.
For each field, toggle "Enable availability limit" and enter the unique maximum number (e.g., 5 for Early Bird, 10 for VIP).
Set the default answer to "None" for each field. This ensures users actively select an option and allows them to choose between the available tiers.
📌 Example:
Early Bird (5 max)
VIP (10 max)
General Admission (7 max)
And finally, it would look something like this :
How it works
Real-time tracking: Formaloo counts submissions automatically.
Smart limits: When an option reaches its limit, it’s grayed out or hidden for future respondents.
No overbooking: Ensures fairness (e.g., no double-booked time slots or oversold tickets).
