Features for order forms: Easily Create & Customize Order Forms

What makes up an order form?

An order form typically includes essential fields to facilitate a smooth transaction between a buyer and seller. Core sections include customer information, such as their name, contact details, and shipping address, fields for specifying the quantity and description of products or services being ordered, and their respective prices. Order forms also often include payment and billing information to finalize a transaction and may incorporate fields for special instructions or delivery preferences to ensure accurate fulfillment of the order.

Present your products with clarity

Leverage the image choice field to showcase your products and services with clarity and make your offers visually compelling. Present a beautiful catalogue of your products with the various choice field options available in the builder, perfect for online order forms for small businesses. Assign numerical values to the product choices offered, allowing you to automate the checkout price calculation with ease.

Demystify complex calculations

Easily perform both simple and complex calculations using the form inputs your respondents have entered. Assign numerical values to the services and products you offer. Configure formulae to calculate the total order value, add discounts to purchases, add shipping and taxes to your orders, and easily automate the payment process.

Show only relevant fields and prevent abandoned carts

Pay attention to minute details and make your order form responsive to every individual's order by configuring rules for form fields. Field rules let you give respondents a personalized experience by skipping irrelevant questions based on their previous answers. With this, you can eliminate the chances of your respondents abandoning carts halfway through your digital order form. For example, a restaurant might automatically eliminate the non-vegetarian menu items in a food order form if a customer has selected the vegetarian menu option.

Email and SMS order confirmations

Notify yourself and your respondents with confirmation emails and text messages when new orders are placed and payments have been successfully processed. Your text messages can be configured to contain all the relevant information, such as the customer's name, date and time of the order, total order amount, and more. Additionally, your emails can be used as long-form notifications containing PDF attachments of invoices, receipts, tickets, or other documentation.

Email and SMS order confirmations

Go paperless with e-invoices and receipts

Configure your forms to send respondents emails containing attachments of online invoices, tickets, passes, or receipts once a payment has been made successfully. Customize the attachment with the help of the PDF editor to include branding elements. You can also pick from a range of customizable, predesigned PDF templates available in our library, add product images, autofill order details, and configure personalized file names to all your PDF invoices and receipts. Share these on the Thank you page when a form is successfully submitted and in order confirmation emails as attachments.

Convey your terms with clarity and seal major transactions with a signature

Specify the terms and conditions of an order placed with you or your business with the help of the terms and conditions field. Present your terms with clarity, avoid miscommunication during the purchasing process, and ensure both parties have clear expectations. Create foolproof transactions by leveraging our handy signature field. Ensure accountability for large, costly transactions such as wholesale orders or imports by sealing deals with a clear signature.
