How the Add to cart form displays for customers

An Add to cart form opens as an overlay when a customer clicks Add to Cart. If fields are required, the customer can't add the product to their cart without completing the form. To preview this form, run a test order.

Review Add to cart form submissions

After a customer makes a purchase with an Add to cart form, you can review their order. Add to cart form submissions are collected in:

Order Notification emails
Order Summary in the Orders panel. Click Expand to view all responses.
Order Exports: Manual and Automatic order exports include Add to cart form responses in the exports for individual orders, not the exports for all orders.

To export Add to cart form submissions, choose a specific product during the export process.

I sell products with optional customization. How can I use Add to cart forms to collect customer information?

You have a few options when setting up your product.

If you don’t charge extra for customization, you could add a required form with a checkbox field labeled for customization with options Yes and No, followed by other fields to collect details.

If you charge extra for customization, you can:

List the product twice on your store page, one standard, one with customization.
List the product once on your store page and add variants. Add an unrequired form to collect details. The form will display for all customers, regardless of which variant they choose.

You can also create a separate product and list it as an add-on:

Add a Not linked store page.
Add a product and name it for the customization.
Set a price.
Add a required Add to cart form to collect details.
Publish the product.
Edit the product you’re adding the add-on to, scroll to Selling tools, then follow these steps to list it as an add-on product.

On the product detail page, customers can add the customization add-on to their cart along with the main product. When they do, the Add to cart form appears. After checkout, both products and the customer’s response to the form will appear in the order summary.
