I am looking for the best method to design a VIP page that will allow customers to select a table then choose from assorted brands of liquor with pricing. When the selection is complete info is added up and a total is given and credit card info taken for payment. I am just hearing about the database feature with wix and would love some guidance please.
Hi,
Welcome to the WixCode forums.
There really is no “best way” - there are matters of taste (of design, not liquor), performance, marketing considerations, price, etc. With that in mind…
A collection (database) is the way to go. A database allows greater flexibility, is easier to maintain, and can be used throughout all of your site pages. The table might have product name, bottle size, type (stout, pilsner, ale, etc), short description, and price.
Add an admin page to your site (with a super secret login) and you can maintain this list of products yourself. You can add additional fields to the database such as sales figures that are hidden from the user, but you can see as the admin.
You don’t necessarily need to “select” a table. You might want to have one table with some dropdowns that filter the list according to liquor type, price range, availability, etc.
Another way would be to have a “products” page that presents the user a selection of product groupings with (for example), pictures of bottles of whiskey, beer, apertif, etc. If the user clicks on the bottle of beer (my choice), I would get a table (just as an example) of the available beers.
I hope that’s enough to you get you started. I’m sure you’ll find that WixCode is perfect for this - plus you might even have fun working on this. And when you’re done, you can lean back and have a beer.

there is a lounge/bar that is using their VIP the way we would potentially like it is at www.clubprana.com when you book a table and date it takes you to a page that has choices for the VIP section for liquor. It totals your entries then allows the customer to pay at the end via credit card
