Installing and Activating Gravity Form for WooCommerce
Before you can start using Gravity Forms with WooCommerce, you need to install and activate both plugins on your WordPress website.
First, go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to “Plugins” > “Add New,” search for both plugins and install and activate them.
Gravity Forms offers a WooCommerce add-on that integrates the two plugins seamlessly. To install it, go to “Forms” > “Settings” > “Add-Ons” in your Gravity Forms dashboard, and activate the WooCommerce add-on.
Creating Product Order Forms
Gravity Forms allow you to create custom order forms for your WooCommerce products.
Start by creating a new form. On your Gravity Forms eCommerce dashboard, click “Forms” and then “Add New” to create a new form. Add fields to your form to collect customer information, such as name, email, shipping address, and any other relevant details.
The “Product” field allows customers to select products directly from your WooCommerce catalog. You can customize it to include product options, quantities, and prices.
Set up email notifications to receive order details when customers submit the form.
Don’t forget to save your form and then copy the shortcode provided. You can embed this shortcode on any page or post where you want the order form to appear.
Integrating with WooCommerce
Integrating Gravity Forms with WooCommerce is essential to ensure that customer orders are processed correctly.
Start by going to “Settings” in the Gravity Forms form editor and click on “WooCommerce” to configure form settings related to your WooCommerce products.
Map the form fields to their corresponding WooCommerce product fields. This step ensures that the order data collected in your Gravity Form is correctly linked to your WooCommerce products.
Enable WooCommerce platform pricing to ensure that the correct product prices are applied to the order and save changes.
Additional Tips
Gravity Forms provides options for styling and customizing your forms to match the look and feel of your WooCommerce store.
Don’t forget to set up Conditional Logic. It allows you to show or hide form fields based on user responses, making the form dynamic and user-friendly.
Before deploying your Gravity Forms-powered order forms on your live WooCommerce store, thoroughly test them to ensure they function correctly.
