Create forms

You can use the Forms app to create a form that prompts your customers to join your email marketing list. The form can be customized using your form settings to match your brand and capture customer information in a privacy-compliant way.

You can display a popup form, inline form, or both at the same time on your store. Learn more about form types.

Considerations

Before you use the Forms app, review the following considerations:

• Forms display on your store only if they've been activated. Forms are activated by default when they're created.
• Forms aren't supported in multiple languages, and aren't compatible with the Translate & Adapt app.
• To learn about the difference between popup and inline forms and their requirements, refer to Form types.
• If you use both a popup form and an inline form on your store and you deactivate the Forms theme app embed, then the popup form displays only on pages that also contain the inline form. To prevent a popup form from being displayed on any page, deactivate the form.

Form types

You can create either a popup or inline form:

Form types, descriptions, and requirements
