With the “video” field in Formaloo, you can add videos to your form to provide additional context or instructions to users as they fill out the form. This field supports YouTube and Vimeo video links.

The field also automatically calculates the total price for all selected products, making the payment process smoother. Customers can make purchases easily and securely by connecting the form to a payment gateway. This feature is especially useful for e-commerce businesses that want to sell products or services directly from their website or through online forms.
