Has anyone been able to build a purchase or order form? What we are looking for is a way to display photos of different products that can be ordered. Then choose how many of each item that needs to be ordered. We are hoping to pull the products from a SharePoint list.
You can definitely do this with a combination of the Data Lookup dropdown and Data Source Variables. The way that I would set it up would be using a repeating section, add the Data Lookup dropdown, and a label. The label is where you would use the Data Source Variable, and to display the image, use the HTML tag <img src="URL OF THE IMAGE HERE"/> to display the image. When they select an item from the dropdown, the image of that item will display, and if that's the one they decide to go with, then they would be able to enter in the quantity in the same repeating section.
Here are a few links to documentation to help you with this:

Thanks for the quick reply, I work with Andy, and we have done a couple prototypes like you have described. What we really need is it to read in the 5(will vary over time) entries from sharepoint and display them all on the page when it loads. The main goal is for people to pick by picture, for instance on a hard hat their are two distinct styles and often they just know I want one like I am wearing. Seems like displaying this list of all entries should be easy, but not so much.
thanks for any additional insight
Hi.
I realize this doesn't actually answer your question, I created a solution like this in Microsoft Power Apps because I couldn't come up with any way to do this with any Nintex solution.
I used this tutorial: Build A Shopping Cart In Power Apps (matthewdevaney.com).
It's a bit buggy, but I was able to Google more and fix/improve it.
Hope this helps
Ed
Thanks for the advice! I did consider that, but if I can't do it in Nintex we will probably modify one of our ASP web apps and use that. Might be fun to do the powerapps on the side 🙂
Its been a while since this questions was asked any new ideas on how to accomplish this with a Nintex Form. Maybe using Nintex Forms Plugins?
