What are variables?

Ready to start using variables? Check out our guide here!

Variables are numeric or text values that your form can keep track of. For example, you can keep a score, or calculate the price of an order. You can create as many custom variables as you want, so you can track more than one score through your form, or whatever you decide.

If you want to display a variable to your respondents, you can add it to your text using the @ symbol. This will bring up a list of all the information you can add to your text, including any variables you have set up.

You can give each variable a base value, or leave it at 0 (zero), depending on what you want to do. If you have variables for different products in a shopping cart, you can specify the unit cost of each product.

The Price variable is only available when you use a Payment question in your typeform.

The values of your variables can be changed or used throughout your form, whether the respondent has completed your entire form, or submitted a partial response. You can view the values for your variables in your Results panel under the Responses tab.
