Goal: Collect customer wishlists for a large, in‑store‑only product launch (hundreds of titles) using a selectable list, ideally beyond email submissions.
Recommendation: Use a Google Form listing all titles so customers can select items of interest. Initially suggested to distribute by email.
Key update: The form can be embedded directly on the Shopify site so customers don’t need an email link. In Google Forms: go to Send → Embed, copy the embed (iframe) code.
Implementation steps in Shopify: Create a page, open the text editor, switch to “Show HTML” mode, and paste the embed code so the form renders correctly.
Assets: Screenshots provided illustrate where to find the Google Forms embed option and the HTML toggle in Shopify’s editor.
Outcome: A clear, no‑app solution using an embedded Google Form; no additional app alternatives were explored. Status: Resolved with actionable steps.
We have a large product range launch (a few hundred titles) coming up in April that is only available to buy in store over the launch weekend & cannot be ordered online, preordered or reserved.
We have previously been able to have our customers send us “wishlists” via email/message (once the list of releases is confirmed mid-Feb), so that we can order the appropriate amount of each title & so that everybody finds what they are looking for over the launch weekend.
Last year was great & we had a few hundred emails, but we want ot make it easier for people this year & upgrade this to something similar to a google form, that has the full list of titles on it, which customers can use to select however many (or few) they are interested in from the hundreds of listed titles.
Is there an app or something like this that you would recommend we use?
That’s a great question. It sounds like a Google form would be a great solution to this. You can then email the form out to your customer list when you are ready for them to start products they are interested in.
With that said, is there something else you are looking to accomplish that a Google form would not provide? From there, we can look into potential app solutions based on your needs.
Hi, thanks for your reply, do you know if there is any way to get this as
an actual page/download link directly on the website, rather than having to
email it out to people?
Thanks
Marc
Yes! You can actually convert the Google form into an embed form on a page in your store. When you’re in the Google form, go to Send, and then select the ‘Embed’ option. Take that code and paste it into a page on Shopify. Just be sure that when you are in the text editor, you toggle on the ‘Show HTML’ icon before pasting. The code needs to be pasted in that mode so that it reads and displays the form.
