Creating a Multi-Step Form on WooCommerce Product Pages

In a recent Business Bloomer Club query, a member aimed to create a product page with form-like steps, requiring customers to complete multiple fields before adding the product to their cart. This setup provides a guided experience for users, ideal for products with customization options or detailed specifications. Several solutions were suggested, with options ranging from WooCommerce-specific plugins to advanced form integrations.

For simpler use cases, plugins like WooCommerce’s Product Add-Ons or Advanced Product Fields by Studio Wombat provide additional input options (e.g., dropdowns, checkboxes, text fields). These plugins allow you to add extra fields directly on the product page, although they lack multi-step form functionality.

Steps to Implement:

1. Install Product Add-Ons: From the WooCommerce site, install and configure the Product Add-Ons plugin.
2. Define Custom Fields: Within each product, add input boxes, dropdowns, or other fields as needed.

This approach is straightforward and ideal for products with a few extra options but lacks the full multi-step experience.

Solution 2: Integrating Advanced Form Builders

For a more structured, step-by-step form experience, Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms integrate with WooCommerce via add-ons, providing enhanced form control. In this specific scenario, the Gravity Shop Product Configurator from Gravity Wiz was used, offering an optimal balance of multi-step functionality and WooCommerce integration.

Steps to Implement:

1. Install Gravity Forms & Gravity Wiz Configurator: After setting up Gravity Forms, install the Gravity Wiz Product Configurator add-on.
2. Create the Form Structure: Design a multi-step form within Gravity Forms, adding fields in sequence based on the customer’s needs.
3. Link to WooCommerce Product: Use Gravity Forms’ add-on settings to connect the form to the product page. Configure the form to display before the product can be added to the cart.

Final Thoughts

For guided, form-based workflows on WooCommerce product pages, Gravity Forms with Gravity Wiz’s Product Configurator offers the best experience, allowing for customization and a clear path for the customer. For simpler setups, WooCommerce’s Product Add-Ons or Advanced Product Fields may be suitable, but they may not meet all requirements if a fully segmented, multi-step form is needed.
