Applications

• Survey Form: Owners can use a survey form for multiple purposes. For instance, when an upcoming product/service is going to be released soon, you can form a survey to gather customer opinions. 
• Contact Form: The contact form is used to provide contact information about the stores. The form helps to deal with urgent issues that need to be contacted directly with the stores.  
• Feedback Form: The feedback form helps customers express their opinions when experiencing the product or services. It will directly benefit the store. In detail, the module will innovate the product and services based on the customer's desire, which will enhance the customer's experience. 
• Pre-order Form: Users can use the pre-order registrations for out-of-stock or upcoming items.  
• Custom Order Request Form: For shoppers who want to make requests, a custom order request form is needed to satisfy buyers individually. The form can allow customers to utilize as notes for custom design, and so on.

Highlight Features

Create Multiple Custom Forms 

It is a function that helps to create any forms to collect customer details with flexible customizability. You can add limitless information by using flexible customization and set the layout to show on one page or multi-page. 

A Variety Of Input Options 

There are fully format input types for each field of the form that creates an easy process for the admin to create numerous questions. In addition, there are many question types admins can choose to set in any way as they wish.  

All types of survey questions like open-ended questions, closed-ended questions, rating questions, Likert questions, or multiple-choice questions, etc., are available in the format. This feature is going to be helpful for you by making sure the format matches with any types of survey questions. For instance, there is a drop-down type available for multiple queries.

Allow Creating Forms In Multi-page 

A lengthy survey can easily make the customer want to abandon it. But fear no more! You can separate the form into many pages. The clear separation will help long surveys look less overwhelmed and make the layout look well-organized. For example, the marketer can divide the questionnaire into 3 pages with General Information on page 1, Job Experience on page 2, and Career Expectations on the final page.

With Custom Form by Mageplaza, users can easily add an extra page with one mouse click.

The form can be configured to present on any pages and any positions on the front page to help the owners collect customer information effectively. 

Preview Forms On The Frontend

If you are concerned about the appearance of the form on the front end, you can preview the way after you finish or make any new updates. 

In specific, the preview button will show next to the form and ready to be clicked to see how it looks on the front page. It is a convenient way to save time for designing a new form.

Set Automatic Response Email 

The auto-response email function is created to send emails to customers after customers have submitted their responses successfully.
