Adalo’s default form behavior is usually designed for single-record entries.

What worked for me in a similar case was looping through the cart items using custom actions or a list with visibility-based triggers (like toggling a temporary screen or button with countdown logic). Not perfect, but it helped simulate adding each item one by one.

Welcome,

One straightforward method is to use a custom list of cart items & then when the user taps Place Order & follow this:

  1. Create a new Order record first.
  2. Then, loop through each Cart Item (using a list of items marked “In Cart” or linked to the current user)
  3. For each item, create a new Order Item record & link it both to the Order & the Product.

Adalo does not support true looping, you can simulate it using countdown buttons or a temporary screen with visibility-based actions.

Good Luck!
