Create a form so customer can input information

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

  • Goal: Add a customer-facing form to collect order details and send them to the merchant.

  • Proposed approaches:
    • Use a basic product-list form to prefill an order (community guide linked).
    • To create an order without checkout, combine a customized contact form with an app that generates a draft order from the cart (example Mechanic task linked).

  • Resources: Shopify theme documentation for adding a contact form; links to a community tutorial and an example app were provided.

  • Clarification: A “draft order” is an order created by the store (via app/automation) without the customer completing the standard checkout.

  • Action items: Review the provided guides, decide between a simple prefilled form vs. draft-order workflow, and share store URL, theme, and details if assistance is needed. The responder offered paid setup services.

  • Status: Not resolved; awaiting more details from the original poster.

For just a product list to prefill and order

To have the order generated without going through the checkout process you will need an app and a contact form customization.

example app https://tasks.mechanic.dev/create-a-draft-order-from-the-cart

theme dev: https://shopify.dev/themes/customer-engagement/add-contact-form

If you need that setup then you can contact me directly for services.
Please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail.
