Hi Stackers.
I have this scenario:
We have a substantial number of members who order products for re-sale.
We have a public order form.
To prevent “fake orders”, every member has a secret code number.
How can we block orders using the name of the approved members (in a dropdown), when the secret code field they need to enter in the form, doesn’t match the secret code field we have on file (in the approved member database.)
Looking forward to a possible solution or workaround!
Cheers,
Edwin
Can you please share a screenshot Edwin? It will help us understand better.
Hi @EdwinS
You cannot configure Lookups and Formula fields in the form in Stackby. That’s why this particular use-case seems difficult at this point.
A potential workaround could be to use a conditional form field and choose a previous condition to set the ‘Quantity’ visible if that condition is met. You can choose what the condition could be. Say could a pre-determined number between 0 to 9 - and say people who choose 9 will only get to see the quantity field in the form. Does that make sense?

This is weak from a privacy and security perspective. Maybe you should rethink your approach a bit.
If all of your resellers are displayed in a list, it’s telling anyone who visits who all of the resellers are. Do you want a customer to decide to buy from a different reseller? That might not make your resellers happy.
If the secret code really follows the pattern you show in your video, it should be fairly easy to guess. A malicious visitor could order 1000 cases for one reseller or maybe 1000 cases for each reseller.
At the very least, you should be using randomly-generated secret keys. A better solution would be to have a reseller portal that the reseller logs into.
