You will see the many predefined forms templates, here we are creating the order form, so we will choose the Billing/Order Forms template. You can also give the name of the form to recognize it.

Once you select the order form, you will get the design screen with some predefined fields in the forms.

Now, you have to modify or add the fields as per your requirement. Just click on the field you want to change, and from the left side panel, you can edit the field.

If you want to give people images to choose from when filling out your online order form, then you can check the Use image choices box.

Once you enable the use images option, you can upload the images alongside the items to get the visual of what they are ordering.

Also, if you want, you can drag and drop the fields from the left-hand side panel and make your order form.

Click save once you finished customizing your order form.

Configure Your Form Notifications

By default, Notification is enabled on forms. When the user orders something, you will receive the email confirmation for the same. You can manage all notifications settings from Notification.

You can turn off the notifications as well, but it is recommended to enable the notifications.

You can customize the notification email to be more specific. You can update the fields to get the personalised notification when the order is placed.

Configure The Form Confirmation

The confirmation message will display when the user submits the donation. This is to let the users know that the intended person has successfully received the donation, and also, we can show them the next steps.

To add the confirmation, you can navigate to Confirmation user the Settings tab.

WPForms has three confirmations types.

Message- This is a default confirmation type in WPForms. You can customize the message which will display to the users.

Show Page- In this type of confirmation, we can show the particular page to the users when the donation is made.

Go to URL(Redirect)- In this type, you will send the user to the new website.

The default message is sufficient, but if you would like to show the new page more information about thanking the users, you can choose the show page option.
