Set Up An Order Form

Madsen, Amanda

Pro-Tips:

Order forms can hold up to 15 total products and/or services per form. Your products will be arranged by Product ID with the lowest (oldest) products displayed at the top of the list and the highest (newest) products at the bottom.

Order forms do not allow the customer to "remove" a line item (set quantity to zero.) For this functionality, you would want to create a product bundle link that instead sends them to a shopping cart checkout page.

To give the customer the option to "add" a product or service to an order form, you would want to create an upsell.

  1. Go to E-Commerce > E-Commerce Setup

    You can add up to 15 products and subscriptions per order form. You have the option to change the name of the product in the Label column. You may also change the quantity of each item. Check the box at the bottom to lock your quantities so a buyer cannot change them on the order form.

  9. (Optional) Click the HTML Areas Tab. HTML Areas are containers that allow you to add HTML to various locations on the order form. Each area is accompanied by a thumbnail image illustrating the exact location, as well as a Preview and Save button.

  11. Click the Thank You Page tab. After a successful purchase, the customer will need to be redirected to a Thank You page. You can create a custom Thank You page using the built-in Thank You Page builder. It's best practice to create this in the Branding Center. You can also choose to send them to a custom web address.
