What Types of Forms and Surveys Can You Create with Formsite?

Updated

Formsite supports a wide range of form and survey types, from registrations and customer surveys to order forms and lead forms. You can build them with a drag-and-drop builder using over 100 customizable templates and 40 question types, then share them via a secure link or embed them on your site. Forms are automatically responsive across desktops, tablets, and phones.

What you can build

According to Formsite's own description, the platform is designed for "professional online forms, surveys and workflows." The examples it names directly are:

  • Registrations — sign-ups, event or program registration
  • Customer surveys — feedback collection
  • Order forms — product or service ordering
  • Lead forms — capturing prospect information

Beyond those named examples, the underlying building blocks (40 question types, multi-page conditional logic, file uploads, calculations, and images/logos) let you assemble other common business forms such as applications, booking or reservation requests, and internal request forms.

How you build them

The workflow has three stages, matching the three headings on Formsite's homepage:

1. Create beautiful forms

  • Use the drag-and-drop form builder to assemble your form or survey.
  • Start from over 100 customizable templates or build from scratch.
  • Choose from 40 question types.
  • Add file uploads, multi-page conditional logic, calculations, and images/logos.
  • Style it with Look & Feel tools: begin with pre-made themes, then customize to match your branding.

2. Share forms

  • Share a secure link to your form, or embed it into a page on your site.
  • Formsite handles hosting and processing of results.
  • Forms are automatically responsive for desktops, tablets, and phones.

Payments and integrations

If your form needs to collect money, Formsite supports processing payments on your own or through integrations with PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.net, Stripe, or Pay by Check. Formsite states it has processed over $500 million in payments.

For workflow automation, integrations include Amazon S3, Box, Constant Contact, DocuSign, Dropbox, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft OneDrive, Salesforce, Slack, and Zapier.
