A form can provide vital data about your company’s operations. For example, you can use an Order Form to grow a customer database, monitor your sales funnel, determine conversion rates, and more. You can use the information to send personalized messages to customers who had difficulty paying for your product so you can learn why they stopped buying it.
Which Order Form Type Should I Use?
It depends on your business and goals. If you know what each order type does, you’ll easily be able to do the rest. You can create 6 types of order forms with Jotform, which will most definitely cover any of your needs. Here’s a short list to better understand order form types:
- One product with a single choice
- One product with multiple choices
- Multiple products with multiple choices
- Single Choice recurring subscription
- Multiple Choice recurring subscriptions
- Donations with Single Entry field
One Product with a Single Choice
If you have an e-book, a downloadable program, or a unique item and want to sell it online, this payment type is perfect for you. If you have only one product in your Product List element, the user will not be asked to choose an item directly from your form. Instead, they can purchase your product right after they fill out your form.
Check out this form template and even clone it to your own account to get a quick start on setting up your one product with a single choice order form.
Pro Tip
If you’d like to show the product on your form, click the Click here to Show instead link from the Payment/Product List Element.
One Product with Multiple Choices
This is relatively the same as #1 above but gives more flexibility to the customer. Your customers will see your list of products on the form and can select one product from the list.
Check out this form template and even clone it to your own account to get a quick start on setting up your one product with multiple choices order form.
Multiple Products with Multiple Choices
You’ve got lots of products in your hand. Maybe you own a beauty shop, bakery, or winery. Showcase any of your products with this payment type for bulk purchases.
Check out this form template and even clone it to your own account to get a quick start on setting up your multiple products with multiple choices, e-commerce, like an order form.
Single Choice Recurring Subscription
Do you offer a service and want recurring payments for it? Think about professional online courses. You’ll pay for a period until the course ends and you’re done.
Check out this form template and even clone it to your own account to get a quick start on setting up your single choice recurring subscription type order form.
Multiple Choice Recurring Subscriptions
Do you have multiple subscription options? We’ve prepared a pricing plan example with just a payment form, and it looks really good, including a 30-day free trial option. This order type is perfect for SaaS (Software as a Service) businesses.
To start creating your recurring order form, you can check this template and clone it to your account.
Donations with a Single Entry Field
Asking for donations is a simple way to collect payments for your cause. You can set a minimum fee, a fixed price or leave it at your visitor’s discretion.
You can get a jumpstart setting up your single entry donation form by visiting this template and copying it to your account.
Now that you know more about order form types, it’s time to create your first order form.

Thanks for explaining this! My question is if a Subscription is thought of as a Product? Like can you list it in a product list for instance, and give people that cart checkout feel whether it is a one time product purchase or a subscription?
Also, can people check out with more than one subscription purchased? How about with subscriptions and one time purchase items?
Thanks so much!!!
