Good day all! As a copywriter, I am hoping to use Shopify to offer my services. I have nearly completed my website, but I am having difficulty setting up a system to collect customer information before beginning a project. Is there a way I can create a custom page with a form, and when the customer fills it out and hits a button, the information is stored and sent to me once they check out? I believe this likely requires cookies, etc. Could anyone kindly provide assistance or advice in this matter? Thank you.
