Forms are a great way to collect information from your customers. Today we will be looking into the three different form options available.

Shopping Cart Form
This form is generally used for pre-orders to collect information about visitors when they enter the shopping cart. It provides an opportunity for the studio to link the visitor to the subject. This is important as often the visitor isn't a subject but a relative that purchases on their behalf (i.e. a parent or grandparent). This form could help studios establish which subject the order is for.
This form will pop up when someone accesses the shopping cart for the session. In most cases, the visitor will be required to fill in all the fields and they will not be able to shop until they added all their information.
Once all the info has been added, a visitor will be able to add products to their cart and finalize the pre-order. Since they filled in the form at the start of the shopping process, the studio should have enough information to figure out which subject the order was for.
To create a form, you can refer to this article.
Product Form
Product forms are a great way to gather information for complicated products that require a lot of data.
An example of a data-heavy product that most likely requires a product form would be a trading card. A trading card is usually a small collectible card that contains information about a person, as well as an image in which they are often posing in their sports gear. With the product form, you can collect additional information that is relevant to the product such as age, height, best score, etc.
A product form is also a shopping cart form but it is added to a product as a product option.
In order to create a product form, you will first need to set up a shopping cart form. The article in this link will walk you through the steps required. The next step is to associate this form with a product. The article in this link covers this for you.
A shopping cart visitor will only be able to add the product to the shopping cart once all the questions in the product form have been submitted.
Opt-in form
With the use of Opt-in Pages, studios can provide schools and event organizers with a unique link to share with parents and event participants to voluntarily provide studios with their contact information. Useful for situations where schools are concerned about sharing parent contact information or when they don't have parent email addresses at all. Parents and event participants also get full control and can opt-out at any time.
You can set up a unique Opt-In Page for each of your Sessions. Visitors will then be able to subscribe to the Session by providing you with their contact information and details of each photographed subject. Allowing for the matching of this information to Subjects in the Session and notifying subscribers when the Session is up and running!
