How it sells itself

Formly lets you build any form your store needs and drop it into any page. Start from 11 templates — contact, RSVP, feedback, support, quote, return, appointment, wholesale, warranty, newsletter, or blank — then customise fields, colours, and confirmation wording. Every submission lands in a dashboard, emails your team, and sends the customer a confirmation.

Smart Form Builder lets you create contact, quote, feedback, event and booking forms without code. Design each form with drag and drop, match it to your theme, and place it on any page as an inline form or a pop-up. Every submission is saved in one place where you can filter and review it, and you can create Shopify customers from submissions.

Key points
  • 11 form templates: contact, RSVP, quote, return, warranty, feedback, and more
  • Drag-and-drop editor with conditional fields, sections, and per-form colors
  • Inline or pop-up embed on any page — one snippet, no theme edits needed
  • Email notifications to your team and a confirmation email to the customer
  • Drag-and-drop form builder with ready-made templates
  • Embed forms inline or as a pop-up with no code
  • Match form colors, buttons and spacing to your theme
  • Book appointments using Google Calendar availability
