WordPress Order Form: 6 Best Plugins + How to Build One in 2026 (Tested)

Looking for the best WordPress order form plugin to take payments and customer details on a single page, without a full WooCommerce store? You’re in the right place.

Across 93 million tracked form sessions, the average form completion rate is just 51.7% (Zuko, 2025). This simply means that the plugin you choose and how you set it up directly determine how many orders you actually close.

We tested 6 of the most popular WordPress order form plugins on a live WooCommerce site to compare setup time, payment options, and free plans.

We also went one step ahead to find plugins with the specific features buyers ask for, such as file uploads, conditional logic, calculations, and one-page checkouts.

In this article, we've prepared a comparison table, our pick by use case, a step-by-step walkthrough for building your first order form in under 10 minutes, and answers to common user questions.

What is a WordPress Order Form?

A WordPress order form is a simple and effective way to collect customer and payment details directly on a single page without any long, complicated process. 

You can create either a single-step or multi-step form depending on how much information you need from the customer.

Based on the product, you can also allow customers to select the product and quantity on the order page. 

You can also link the form from landing pages, emails, or ads to guide customers straight to the checkout process.

Here is an example of a multi-step order form:

For many small businesses, such as restaurants, boutiques, or local service providers, this approach is more practical than managing an entire online store. 

A custom order form focuses on collecting accurate order information and ensuring a smooth user experience.

An order form can be ideal for 

  • Selling a few products or services: Suitable for stores with limited inventory or one-time purchase items.
  • Managing subscriptions: Collect payments and details for newsletters, memberships, or recurring services.
  • Handling event registrations: Allow users to sign up directly for workshops, classes, or appointments.
  • Offering service bookings: Let clients request services, select time slots, and easily confirm their appointments.

An optimized order form helps reduce drop-offs by removing unnecessary steps in the buying process. 

It also ensures that every order submission includes the essential details you need, such as name, contact, product, and payment method, making order management easier.

By keeping the process straightforward, customers can complete their purchase faster, and you can maintain a more organized workflow without relying on complex eCommerce setups.

Pricing verified from each plugin's official pricing page in May 2026.

What to Look For in a WordPress Order Form Plugin

Not all order form plugins are built the same. Before we get to the comparison, we installed each plugin on a clean WooCommerce staging site (WordPress 6.9, PHP 8.5).

We built the same baseline form, such as one product with two variations, a file upload field, custom fields for delivery preferences, and Stripe checkout.

Then we tested how each plugin handled the things real shoppers and store owners actually need.

Here's what we evaluated:

  • Setup speed: Can a non-developer build a working order form in under 30 minutes? Drag-and-drop matters more than feature lists.
  • Payment gateways: Stripe and PayPal are table stakes. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Buy Now Pay Later, and Authorize.Net stand out as serious tools.
  • Free plan limits. What can you actually ship without paying? Some plugins gate payments entirely behind a Pro license.
  • Value for money: The features you get compared to the amount you purchased the plugin.
  • Advanced fields: File uploads, calculations, conditional logic, and multi-step support.
  • Conversion features: Order bumps, one-click upsells, abandoned-cart recovery, and express checkout buttons matter more than design polish.
  • Mobile experience: Rendering and completion friction on phones.

The 6 Best WordPress Order Form Plugins (Reviewed)

1. FunnelKit Funnel Builder

Best ForWooCommerce store owners who want sales funnels and an optimized checkout, including an order form
Active Installations40,300+ (WordPress.org)
PricingFree version on WordPress.org. Paid plans from $99.50/yr (1 site)

FunnelKit Funnel Builder is the only plugin on this list that treats the order form as one step in a full sales flow.

Rather than a standalone form that collects payment, FunnelKit builds a multi-step funnel: landing page → order form → one-click upsell → thank-you page, with order bumps optional at the form itself.

In our testing, FunnelKit took 8 minutes from install to a live multi-step order form. The pre-built Stunner template (and others as well) included optimized field order, trust badges, and express checkout placement out of the box.

Standout features:

  • Pre-built funnel templates (single-page and multi-step order forms)
  • Order bumps and one-click upsells natively, not via an add-on
  • Express checkout for Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal Express
  • A/B testing, file upload fields, and order summary
  • Tight integration with FunnelKit Automations for abandoned-cart recovery

Limitations:

  • Upsell, A/B testing, and analytics features require the Plus plan or higher, not the Basic one
  • More opinionated than a generic form builder. If you need form data that doesn't map to a WooCommerce order, you’ll fight the structure

Verdict: If your goal is to build optimized conversion flow and maximize average order value in WooCommerce, FunnelKit is purpose-built for that job.

2. WPForms

Best ForWooCommerce store owners who want sales funnels and an optimized checkout, including an order form
Active Installations6 million+ (WordPress.org)
PricingFree (Lite). Paid plans from $49.50/yr Basic. Payment forms require Pro at $199.50/yr (first year)

WPForms is the most-installed form plugin on WordPress for a reason: its drag-and-drop interface is the gentlest learning curve in this category.

Their order form template library includes 141+ pre-built variants, such as takeout orders, t-shirt sales, and service bookings, so most users can ship a working form in under 10 minutes by customizing a template.

Standout features:

  • 2,000+ form templates with 141+ in the Order category
  • AI form builder (describe what you need, it builds the form)
  • Stripe, PayPal, Square, and Authorize.Net native integrations
  • Conditional logic and multi-page forms on Pro

Limitations:

  • Order/payment fields require the Pro plan ($199.50/yr first year)
  • No native sales funnel or upsell features
  • Orders captured in WPForms don’t natively appear as WooCommerce orders with inventory tracking

Verdict: If your priority is a simple order form without any upselling features, WPForms wins.

3. Gravity Forms

Best ForDevelopers and technical users building complex, custom data-driven forms
Active InstallationsN/A
PricingPayment collection available from Pro $159/yr (3 sites, payments included). Elite $259/yr (unlimited sites)

Gravity Forms is the form plugin that powers more enterprise WordPress sites than any other.

The interface feels dated compared to WPForms, but the depth of customization, the third-party add-on ecosystem (GravityView, Gravity Flow, Gravity Perks), and the consistent renewal pricing make it the long-term value pick for serious builders.

Standout features:

  • Advanced conditional logic with no hidden tier gates
  • 30+ official add-ons cover most CRM, email, payment, and workflow integrations without third-party purchases
  • Multi-page forms with progress bars and save-and-continue let long order forms keep completion rates up

Limitations:

  • No free version, paid only
  • Interface feels less polished than newer plugins
  • Steeper learning curve for non-technical users

Verdict: If you build sites for clients or maintain a complex form-heavy site, Gravity Forms is the most cost-predictable serious tool. Skip it if "drag-and-drop in 5 minutes" is your priority.

4. Formidable Forms

Best ForQuote forms, mortgage calculators, custom pricing forms, and anything math-heavy
Active Installations300,000+ (WordPress.org)
PricingLite version free. Business $159.60/yr first year (required for payments)

Formidable Forms' killer feature is its calculation engine. Where other plugins let you add a simple subtotal, Formidable supports complex multi-step math, conditional pricing, and data-driven views, you can build a full quote calculator with branching logic that other form plugins can't match.

Standout features:

  • The most powerful calculation engine of any WordPress form plugin
  • Formidable views display form submissions on the front-end as directories, listings, or dashboards
  • Repeater fields for variable-length data
  • Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.Net integration

Limitations:

  • Payment processing requires the Business tier ($159.60)
  • Steeper learning curve than WPForms or Fluent Forms
  • The lite (free) version is intentionally limited

Verdict: Pick Formidable if your order form needs to calculate something complex, including custom pricing, configurators, or service quotes. Overkill for simple product orders.

5. Fluent Forms

Best ForSites where speed and price both matter
Active Installations700,000+ (WordPress.org)
PricingFree version. Pro from $59/yr (1 site)

Fluent Forms has quietly become the budget-pick favorite in the WordPress form space.

The free version is genuinely usable (unlike WPForms Lite, which gates basic features), and the Pro version at $59/yr is half the price of WPForms Pro with comparable feature parity for order forms.

Standout features:

  • Lightweight, loads faster than WPForms or Gravity Forms
  • Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Square, and Razorpay integrations
  • Conditional logic and multi-step forms on Pro
  • Same renewal price (no first-year discount trick)

Limitations:

  • Smaller template library than WPForms
  • Less mature add-on ecosystem than Gravity Forms
  • Some documentation gaps for advanced setups

Verdict: If you want most of WPForms' functionality at half the price and a lighter footprint, Fluent Forms is the value pick.

6. WP Simple Pay

Best ForSingle-product sellers and service businesses that only need Stripe
Active Installations9,000+ (WordPress.org)
PricingFree (Lite). Pro from $49.50/year

WP Simple Pay is a Stripe-powered payment form generator. If you don't need shipping addresses, product variants, or anything beyond "click button → pay", it's the fastest path to a working order page.

Standout features:

  • Set up in under 5 minutes, connect Stripe, pick a template and publish
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay come free via Stripe
  • Recurring payments and installment plans on Pro
  • No transaction fees beyond Stripe's standard rate

Limitations:

  • Stripe only, no PayPal, no Authorize.Net
  • No native product catalog or shipping fields
  • Not a true order form for multi-product stores

Verdict: Perfect for single-product sellers, donation pages, course sales, and consulting deposits. Wrong tool for a multi-product order form.

How to Create a Custom WordPress Order Form (Step by Step)

We picked FunnelKit Funnel Builder for the walkthrough because it was the fastest plugin we tested for building a high-converting order form.

With FunnelKit, you get a beautiful pre-built landing page with all the sales-boosting elements optimally placed, including an order form, right at your fingertips.

FunnelKit integrates with your favorite drag-and-drop page builders such as Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, Gutenberg, and more.

Before moving to the main process, make sure you install and activate FunnelKit Funnel Builder (free and pro).

Step 1: Create a sales funnel with an order form

Navigate to Funnelkit ⇒ Funnels and click on the "Create New Funnel" button.

Importing a pre-built WordPress order form template

After that, click on “Import This Funnel,” provide a name, and click on "Done" to import this sales funnel.

Importing the Stunner template as a customizable WordPress order form

This will import a sales funnel with a two-step order form (checkout), one-click upsell, and a thank you template.

Step 2: Customize the WordPress Order Form

Now, let’s customize the order form with Elementor to make it look appealing. First, click on the checkout step.

Clicking the 'Edit Checkout' button to customize the WordPress order form

Now, click on the "Edit Elementor Template" option to customize the content of the WordPress order form page.

Step 3: Add products to your order form

Now we want to add the products field to the WordPress order form so users can see and choose from the products.

Note: The Stunner template we're using already has the Products field.

If your template doesn't have it, scroll down to the Checkout Form Fields section. Then drag and drop the Products field into your WordPress order form.

With the beginner-friendly field editor, you can shuffle the sections and add/remove/manage the fields with the convenient drag-and-drop interface.

Breaking down your online order form into sections simplifies the filling process for the users.

FunnelKit lets you display your selected products on the checkout page. You can either display a single product or multiple products.

The buyers can easily choose one or more products and place their order.

To add products, head to the Products section. Click on Add Product, search for the product you want to add, and hit Add.

Add products to checkout page wordpress order form

To add multiple products, click on Add New Products again and repeat the steps. You can add as many products as you want.

You can offer discounts on the product as well.

FunnelKit also offers Product selection settings that you can use to allow your customers to choose any of the multiple products or only one product (a single product with multiple variants or prices).

You can even force sell all the products. When the customer lands on the checkout page, all the products will be automatically added to the cart.

Save the changes when you have set up your products.

This is how the multi-product WordPress order form will look on the checkout.

Your customers can even adjust the quantity of a product with FunnelKit’s mini cart quantity switcher.

Now that you have added the products to your WordPress order form, let’s customize it to look on-brand.

Note: Like the checkout page, you can customize the

Step 4: Enable express payment options (optional)

Offer express payment options such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal Express, etc. By introducing a swift and hassle-free payment alternative for your users, you can enhance their experience.

To enable express checkout on the checkout page, navigate to the Optimizations tab and enable the option under Express Checkout Buttons. You can also choose the position of the express buttons.

Note: Like the checkout template, you can 

Now that you have set up your WordPress online order form, it’s time to share it.

You can easily copy the link on the Design tab of the Checkout step with a single click.

Copy the link to the WordPress order form for easy sharing with customers

Your WordPress order form will open in a new tab. Copy the URL and share it in your Facebook groups or other social media profiles like Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and more.

You can even bring in paid traffic via Google Ads. You can also share the link with your audience directly in emails or SMSs.

The beauty of an order form is that the user will directly land on the checkout page, and they can complete their payment in minutes.

You also minimize the risk of users browsing through your store, getting lost, and abandoning the purchase.

Bonus: Adding Custom Fields to Your WordPress Order Form

If you want to add custom fields such as gift wrapping or special instructions to your order form, you can easily do that using FunnelKit Funnel Builder.

To do this, navigate to the Checkout Fields section and click the “Add New Field” button. Then, choose the field type, fill out the necessary details, and click Add to create your custom field.

Adding a custom field (e.g., gift wrapping or special instructions) to the order form

5 Proven Tips to Optimize Order Forms in WordPress

You have set up your online order form without leaving your WordPress dashboard and are ready to see the orders and profits roll in - but wait!

Here are five powerful bonus tips to boost conversions and profits from the order form.

Tip 1: Add order bumps and upsells

Order bumps are complementary suggestions to your customers that the buyers can add to their carts with just a click!

Relevant order bumps can significantly boost your AOV.

This is how one-click order bumps look on your checkout page. The item is added to the buyer’s cart with just one click.

Adding an order bump

Along with an order bump, you can always add a pre-purchase or a post-purchase upsell offer. This way, you can pitch your premium products to a buyer who is highly interested in your products.

You can even add post-purchase upsell offers, giving new buyers a special offer or a discount bundle.

This way, you can take advantage of the customer’s buying momentum and squeeze more sales and profits from the same sale.

You can implement order bumps and upsell offers to squeeze more profits from the same sale. However, if you want to go with only one, refer to our guide on upsells vs. order bumps.

Tip 2: Keep the checkout form simple with important fields first

Keep your checkout form clean and focused. Start with product selection, follow with email and phone, then request shipping and payment details. 

FunnelKit’s smart field editor lets you rearrange fields, capture emails early, and create a faster, abandonment-proof checkout experience.

Tip 3: Follow up with users who abandon the order form

Most WooCommerce marketers use abandoned cart recovery emails. The same approach works for WordPress order forms. 

Capture emails early so you can follow up if users drop off. Timely emails and SMS follow-ups can recover lost sales, especially with a dynamic time-bound discount. 

FunnelKit Automations lets you automate the entire process and recover potential revenue.

Tip 4: Add express payment options and speed up checkout

Baymard’s study shows 9% of shoppers abandon carts due to unavailable payment methods and 4% due to declined cards.

Offering express payment options like PayPal, GPay, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay is essential to reduce abandonment.

Add Express Payment Options and Facilitate Quicker Checkout

You can even let your buyers pay in installments. This way, buyers can afford to pay if they buy in bulk.

Tip 5: Set up a post-purchase email sequence

WooCommerce sends order form notifications, but you can fully customize them with FunnelKit Funnel Builder.

Use the visual email builder to design sleek notifications, adjust colors, add media, and include product suggestions.

Create a Post-Purchase Email Sequence

Your post-purchase email sequence can include transactional emails (order confirmation, shipping confirmation), promotional emails (cross-selling, product recommendations), and even retention emails (discount emails).

You can go a step further by incorporating purchase review emails, product education emails, and winback emails.

To know more about how to set up the post-purchase email sequence that clicks with the shoppers, refer to our complete guide on the post-purchase email sequence.

More Questions About the Order Form in WordPress

Here are some of the commonly asked questions about the order form with answers:

How can I integrate payment gateways with my WordPress order form?

Integrating payment gateways with your WordPress order form is simple with the right plugin, like FunnelKit. It integrates with popular payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. 

Can I track conversions from my WordPress order form?

Yes, you can track detailed conversion data from your WordPress order form using FunnelKit. It captures key information such as Order ID, Name, Email, Phone, Date, Total Spent, Referrers, Device, and more. This data lets you analyze your sales performance, monitor user behavior, and optimize your order form for higher conversions over time.

Does WordPress or WooCommerce have a built-in order form feature?

No, WordPress and WooCommerce do not include a built-in feature to create order forms. You need a form builder plugin, such as FunnelKit Funnel Builder, to add custom order forms to your site.

What are the best WordPress order form plugins?

 The best WordPress order form plugins include:

  • FunnelKit - Perfect for creating high-converting order forms, sales funnels, and integrations.
  • WPForms - Great for beginners with drag-and-drop features.
  • Gravity Forms - A good option for advanced users with extensive add-ons

These plugins offer customizable templates, payment gateway integration, and more.

How can I customize the design of my WordPress order form?

If you build your order form with FunnelKit, you can easily customize the design using popular page builders like Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, and more. FunnelKit integrates seamlessly with these builders, allowing you to drag and drop elements, adjust colors, fonts, and layouts to match your brand’s style and create a fully personalized order form.

What is the difference between single-step and multi-step order forms?

A single-step order form collects all the necessary details (product selection, billing, and payment) on one page, while a multi-step order form breaks the process into multiple stages, often improving user experience and reducing cart abandonment.

How do I add a file upload field to my WordPress order form?

FunnelKit Funnel Builder, WPForms Pro, Gravity Forms (all paid tiers), Formidable Forms Pro, and Fluent Forms Pro include native file upload fields. Set explicit file size limits (the default is often only 2 MB) and whitelist safe file types.

How do I add calculations to a WordPress order form?

Use FunnelKit for a detailed order summary, including cart total, shipping, and taxes; Formidable Forms for complex calculations (multi-variable pricing, configurators); Gravity Forms for advanced logic with code hooks; or WPForms Pro for simple subtotal math. Always test calculations on mobile before publishing.
