How To Make A Custom Order Form On Shopify
Abdullah Shahid 
Running a Shopify store, I quickly realized not every product fits into the neat little boxes of size, color, and quantity. Sometimes, your customer wants to upload a file, choose a delivery date, or write detailed customization notes. That’s where a custom order form for Shopify product pages becomes a game-changer.
Let’s talk about how to create a custom form for users on your Shopify store!

Should You Buy Shopify Apps for Custom Forms?
Short answer: Not unless you need automation, booking systems, or CRM integrations.
Downside of these apps? Both tools do an excellent job when it comes to appointment-based workflows and they give you built-in forms with calendar logic. But if you’re looking to just collect custom product inputs, simple notes, or handle special requests, these apps may be too much.
You’ll end up paying monthly for features you don’t even use.
Many form-builder apps are $10–$30/month just for basic functionality. But if you want to embed multiple tools, like reviews, forms, videos, and calendars, you’re better off with one versatile app.
Embed Custom Forms to Shopify Pages Using EmbedAny (No-Code)
This is my favorite method.
Why? Because I don’t need to install 5 different apps when EmbedAny lets me embed over 800+ widgets, including form tools. Here’s how to embed a form:
Form Tools Supported by EmbedAny:
- Microsoft Forms
- Formstack
- Zoho Forms
- HubSpot Forms
- Fillout
- Tuxx
- Show the Way
- NeatClip
- Pinpoll
- Youform
- Libsyn
Step-by-Step: Embed Microsoft Form Using EmbedAny
- Go to the form service of your choice and set up your form.
- Change its access to public view, click “Publish” and copy the public link.
- Open your Shopify product page (via Online Store > Pages or Products).
- Paste the link in the EmbedAny app section.
- Done. Your form is now live on your storefront!
It works exactly the same for Zoho Forms, Fillout, Tuxx, and others.
See our guide on how to embed this link in product page or anywhere else on your store.
Just create your form in any of the tools above, copy the public share link, and paste it into your product page using EmbedAny’s App Block, rich text editor, or section blocks.
Perfect for: Custom T-shirt orders, Pre-orders, B2B quote requests, Upload product specs or measurements
Add Forms to Product Pages via Liquid (For Advanced Users)
If you’re comfortable editing Shopify’s Liquid files, you can hardcode a form directly into the product.liquid template. This gives complete control but comes with risks like theme updates overriding your edits, or breaking layout.
You’ll need:
<form>HTML code with custom fields- Handling backend submission via email or third-party
- Styling via CSS
⚠️ Warning: If you’re not confident editing Liquid, stick to EmbedAny or app-based methods.
Real-World Use Cases of Adding Custom Forms to Shopify Pages
- Made-to-order jewelry? Ask for ring size, engraving text, and preferred metal.
- Event merch? Add a bulk order request form for sponsors.
- Custom cakes? Let customers pick flavors, frosting types, and upload inspiration pics.
💡 Pro Tip: You can also embed a Google Form or Typeform and sync responses to Google Sheets for internal use.
Final Thoughts on Custom Product Forms for Shopify
Whether you need a basic “Contact Us” form, a quote request system, or a fully custom product input form, Shopify doesn’t give you that flexibility out of the box. That’s why embedding external tools is so powerful.
You don’t need a developer. You just need a good form tool + EmbedAny.
So go ahead, create that perfect form.
Your future conversions will thank you!
