Understanding the question type
Text type option: This function is designed to pose questions to the buyer and anticipate receiving free-form text as their response — a good fit for special requests.
Number type option: This function is intended for posing questions to the buyer and expecting numerical answers.
Date type question: This function is designed to present questions to the buyer using a date-picker (calendar) format and to collect answers in the form of specific dates.
Selection type question: This function is designed to query the buyer with questions and subsequently offer them a multiple-choice selection, allowing them to pick only one answer. You can also include Additional price on each choice.

You can click on Enable quantity, allowing buyers to select more than one unit of a specific option. Additionally, you can set the validation to be at least, at most, or in between. Each choice can have an Additional price if needed.
Media type question: This function is designed to let the buyer upload media files, such as photos or images, as a response to a question. It's useful when you need visual input from the buyer — for example, reference images for a custom design. The uploaded files can help clarify requests and ensure better customization.
