What Merchants Think

Overall, "Shopify Forms" is appreciated for its ease of use, seamless integration with Shopify, and the ability to be set up quickly. For many, it serves as a useful tool to enhance email list subscriptions without any additional cost. However, frequent complaints highlight limitations in customization, localization, and certain functional constraints that hinder its full potential.

Key Strengths

  • Easy to set up and user-friendly interface.
  • Seamless integration with Shopify and native apps like Shopify Flow, Shopify Emails, and Shopify Discounts.
  • Effective in growing email subscriber lists.
  • Free to use, making it an appealing alternative to costly third-party apps.
  • Simplicity and effectiveness for basic form needs.

Common Concerns

  • Lack of customization options for styling and localization.
  • Forms can display on all pages without the option to choose specific pages.
  • Response data is difficult to manage or analyze outside of Shopify due to format and lack of export features.
  • Popup and forms behavior issues, such as not honoring subscription status or appearing regardless of previous user interactions.
  • Bugs related to browser compatibility, especially with Safari and Firefox.

Final Thoughts

While "Shopify Forms" is a straightforward and effective tool for basic form creation and email collection, its current limitations in customization and functionality could hinder merchants with more complex needs. The app is particularly beneficial for small businesses looking for a simple, no-cost solution, but improvements in flexibility and functionality could make it a more comprehensive tool for wider merchant demographics.

It's OK for a very basic use especially for start ups. However disappointing that extraction of the data captured is not possible unless you install another 3rd party app which you might need to pay for.

Overall a good app for free, other alternatives have the option to control how long the pop-up will appear again after the costumer closes it. if this option would be added that would be great, and maybe control over the font size in the app. thank you!

Setting up is easy. Since its a free native app from Shopify, I believe it will already be optimized for performance. A lot of merchants have requested for options to customize designing, and Shopify has assured it is in the works. I have a few suggestions: 1. Give option to add separator line between sections 2. Give option to add a different email id for each submission to be sent to, instead of registered email id. 3. Allow exporting submission entries on demand 4. Allow making headers bold 5. For single-line and multi-line text fields, allow adding headers 6. Allow splitting form into multiple pages 7. Include "OTHERS" as a default option for radio buttons where needed, and when selected, give an option to include a field for users to add text Thanks Team Wet and Dry Personal Care

Good at collecting the data but to reply directly to a form you need to create a completely new email thread? and can't reply directly to the form submission email? Unless i'm wrong then happy to update review!

Unbelievably useless App. Sure, it collects data and collects it in Shopify, but it's metadata, which is inaccessible by external no-code tools like Make/zapier. Regardless of what you do the apps cannot read the metadata within Shopify to extract data to tools like Airtable, which are vastly superior database tools. Shopify decided to make it nearly impossible for non-coding people to use form submission data outside of Shopify, therefore this app is useless. IT shouldn't even be an app in the first place and should be fully built into Shopify from the jump, allowing for access to form data for external use. Yuck. The form also likes to glitch and not submit when it feels like it.

Metafield cannot be removed and will not be removed even after uninstalling the application, metafield is pinned for the customer model and can't be moved or edited.

Podiam aprimorar habilitando a função de escolha. Exemplo: após a conclusão da compra da cliente, ela recebe essa form em formato de pesquisa com alternativas, sem a necessidade de cadastro de email ou quaisquer outras informações.

Easy to use, set up, and integrates seamlessly with the store. However, I couldn't find an option to allow customers to opt out of marketing emails using the form. It would be great to have this feature added.

Covering many basic properties of forms functionality it does allow to collect data. But the lack of making translations to the fields or changing styling is despite of many requests in forums a bit of a statement of not listening to urgent customer needs or thinking functional scenarios completely through.

Die App funktioniert gut, wenn man Sie dementsprechend versteht und sich etwas damit befasst. Der Umfang und die Möglichkeiten sind etwas beschränkt. Da Sie aber kostenlos ist, vergebe ich 5 Sterne.

There is not a "testing" option, so my test form submissions are logged into my account permanently (not a dramatic issue but frustrating to lack control of the data). Shopify Support was supportive, but is not able to remove them. There are no overrides available.

Very limited customization and no easy way to customize css do to its use of a custom element and a shadow DOM, so you cannot just add css to control the form and any form you make will not match your existing website css but will have its own css that cannot easily edit. There also appears to be a bug where you cannot uncheck required for First name and Last name fields.

The functionality is fine, but man oh man. IMPOSSIBLE to customise. No matter what CSS trick you pull out of the book, nothing works. WHY make this SO hard to customise? Let me color my background and change the border radius... not too much to ask :-)

Pleased with the service, especially because it is free! I was using a similar app before that was outrageously expensive, so I'm very happy to have found this one. It's simple, but works!

It works, but you cannot style it because it is inside a shadow-root, and you cannot translate the content in multiple languages. Workaround is to copy paste the form and make different ones for each language, filtering in the code on selected localization / language. But I expected a Shopify app to at least provide the possibility to translate in their own translation app Translate & Adapt...

Used this app to create a standalone newsletter sign up page on my shop, perfect for what I needed. It also integrates with the Emails app (made by Shopify) for sending welcome emails automatically.

Simple forms that are easy to get going but the lack of being able to add CSS styling or other basic layout options is a definite drawback. Works fine for basic forms.

Love how it integrates nicely with shopify emails, shopify flow, shopify discounts and allows easy tagging (which you'll use for flow). Love that its free! Once a template was created in the theme customiser, it was straightforward to add the app block and then input the app ID so it appeared on the page.

Good as a pop-up form. So would give it a 4. Lacks in functionality though, would be great if their was more integration with Shopify to allow: - Custom Contact Forms - Integration with Email for post purchase form as an example Given its a Shopify App, I expected a bit more basic functionality.
