Collect product orders with quantities, product selection, and shipping details. Ideal for small businesses, artisans, and B2B workflows where you invoice separately — no payment processor integration required.

An order form is how you take a purchase commitment without running a checkout. It sits in the gap that a shopping cart can't fill: custom and made-to-order products where price depends on the spec, B2B sales where the buyer expects an invoice and net-30 terms rather than a card charge, and pre-orders for stock you haven't produced yet. The buyer tells you exactly what they want and where to ship it; you confirm availability, quote a final price, and bill separately. That decoupling of 'capture the order' from 'take the money' is the whole point — it removes the payment-processor overhead and per-transaction friction for sellers who invoice.
A well-built order form is really a structured purchase request. This template's product dropdown (Product A/B/C plus a Custom Order option) is deliberate: a fixed list keeps the order tied to real SKUs and makes submissions sortable, while the 'Custom Order' escape hatch routes bespoke requests into the Special Instructions field instead of forcing them into a rigid catalog. The Quantity field is a number with min 1 and max 100 so you never receive an order for zero or a quantity beyond what one buyer should place in a single request. Full name, email, phone, and shipping address complete the fulfillment picture — everything a picker, packer, or invoicer needs in one record.
Deploy it where the buying decision happens: link it from a product page, a 'Place an order' button, or a printed catalog QR code, and embed it directly on your site so the buyer never leaves. Because there's no cart, the confirmation message is doing the work a receipt normally does — use it to set expectations about invoicing and lead time before the buyer walks away.

Use cases
Who uses this template.
A ceramics or woodworking studio taking made-to-order pieces, where the Custom Order option plus Special Instructions captures the size, glaze, or engraving before any quote is given
A wholesale or B2B supplier collecting purchase requests from trade accounts that will be invoiced on net terms rather than charged a card at submission
A bakery or farm stand running weekly pre-orders for bread, produce boxes, or holiday items produced in a limited batch
A print or apparel shop taking bulk orders where the quantity drives the price and artwork or notes come through Special Instructions
An internal supply requisition where staff order stock, uniforms, or equipment from an approved product list without a purchasing portal
A pop-up or market vendor letting customers reserve items for pickup, with the shipping address field repurposed as a pickup note
Best practices
How to get the most from this form.
Rename the generic product options to real SKUs
The template ships with placeholder Product A/B/C. Replace them with your actual product names and, ideally, a SKU or size in the label. A dropdown that reads 'Oak cutting board – large (SKU 1042)' makes every submission self-explanatory and lets you sort orders by exact item when you export them.
Tune the quantity min and max to your real limits
The default number field allows 1 to 100. If a single buyer should never order more than a dozen, lower the max — it quietly blocks fat-finger errors and prevents someone tying up your whole batch. For wholesale, raise it. The min of 1 already stops empty or zero-quantity orders.
Make the confirmation message do the receipt's job
With no cart, the buyer leaves without a total or a payment record. Your confirmation should state what happens next: that an invoice follows by email, which payment methods you accept, and a realistic lead time. Ambiguity here is the number one reason order forms generate 'where's my order?' emails.
Route custom requests through Special Instructions
When someone picks 'Custom Order' from the dropdown, the optional Special Instructions field becomes essential — that's where dimensions, personalization, or delivery constraints land. Add a placeholder that tells them exactly what detail you need so you're not chasing specs after the fact.
Confirm the shipping address format you can actually fulfill
This template uses one Shipping Address field, which is faster for the buyer but easy to submit incompletely. Note in the label if you need a postal code, unit number, or country, and state upfront if you only ship to certain regions so you don't accept orders you can't deliver.
Verify stock before you treat a submission as a sale
An order form captures intent, not a guaranteed transaction — there's no live inventory check behind the dropdown. For limited batches, keep an eye on incoming submissions and unpublish or edit the form when an item sells out, since the form won't stop taking orders on its own.
FAQ
Common questions.
How is an order form different from an online store checkout?
A checkout charges the buyer's card the moment they confirm and needs a payment processor, inventory sync, and often a cart platform. An order form captures the order details and contact information, then leaves billing to you — you invoice afterward by Stripe link, PayPal, or bank transfer. It's the right tool when price is negotiated, terms are net-30, or the product is made to order rather than shipped from a shelf.
Can I take orders without charging the customer at submission?
Yes, and that's exactly what this template is built for. Formiqa does not process payments, so the form collects the product, quantity, shipping details, and any instructions, then you bill separately on your own terms. This suits B2B accounts, custom work you quote after seeing the request, and pre-orders you don't want to charge for until the item is ready.
How do I get notified the moment an order arrives?
Turn on email notifications and Formiqa emails you the full order — product, quantity, buyer, and address — on every submission, on every plan. During a busy pre-order window you'll get one alert per order, which is what most small sellers want so nothing slips. Each order is also saved to your dashboard for reference.
Can buyers attach a file, like artwork or a spec sheet, to their order?
The default template doesn't include a file field, but you can add one in the builder for custom orders that need a design, logo, or reference photo. Uploads land in your dashboard alongside the order and are downloadable there. File uploads are available on every plan, including the free one.
How do I stop taking orders once an item sells out?
Formiqa has no automatic inventory cap, so you close orders manually by unpublishing the form or removing the sold-out option from the product dropdown. For limited batches, watch your submissions and edit the form as stock runs down. If you need running order totals, export your submissions to CSV on the Pro plan and tally quantities in a spreadsheet.
Can I add a delivery date, pickup time, or gift note to the form?
Yes. Add a date field for a requested delivery or pickup day, a time field for a pickup slot, or an extra text field for a gift message — all are standard field types in the builder. For food and pickup-based ordering this is common; you can also repurpose the Shipping Address field as a pickup location note if nothing is being shipped.
How many orders can I collect for free?
The free plan handles up to 10 submissions per form each month across up to 5 forms, which covers a small custom-order shop or an occasional pre-order run. If your order volume grows, the Pro plan at $26.90/month raises that to 2,500 submissions per form per month with flat pricing — there are no per-order fees, so a busy sales month never costs you more per order.
