How to add products sold by quantity?

This is a common question from small shops who sell packets, jars or snacks. Your customers want to pick how many they need. You can add a question for each product in a Google Form and list the quantities as choices, but it cannot show a price for each one or add up the order, so you do the sums by hand. With Neartail, you can sell products by quantity. Your customers select the quantity they want when they add the product to the cart. Even better, you can upload your menu or price list, as a PDF or an image and Neartail turns it into your form.
