Paperform Review : A Beginner’s Guide

If you are ready to take the first step in the online world or just trying out digital marketing for your well-established business, your first concern must be to connect to your audience the right way through different kinds of forms for subscriptions, surveys, payments or just feedback.

In that case, what you must be looking for is a best form-builder that creates easy yet intuitive, different yet informational forms that attract customers rather than drive them away.

Amongst the myriad of form-building services available in the market like Typeforms, JotForm, Cognito Forms, etc Paperform created hype mainly for two reasons: its versatile form-building tool and its over-the-top prices. But are the services really that great to make you look over your budget? Keep reading to find out.

Paperform was launched in 2016, and since then it has made building and embedding forms as easy as creating a doc file, with beautiful templates, numerous text styles, fonts, colors, options to insert images, etc.

Once you are satisfied you can either embed it on your website or the best part: each form has a unique URL that allows you to share just the form even without your site. Paperform also offers more than 750 different services via its Zapier integration which makes your job much easier.

Let’s walk you through its distinct features in the coming sections.

Create your first form with Paperform using these simple steps:

Step 1: Create a Form

After signing it to Paperform using your email id, you will land on your Dashboard. Click on the ‘Create New button’ on the top right corner to start building a form from scratch or just use any of the ready-made templates. Next, Add texts and questions, configure question type (email, phone number, text, multiple choice etc.), images, and payment options, if needed, and save your form.

Step 2: Personalize your Form

You can customize pretty much every element of your form. Starting from Themes, Typography, UI elements, Translations, Pages and sections, and Conditional Logic (more about it later!) to the  Submission success message page, your user will get a personalized experience.

Step 3: Set Up Submissions

Once you are happy with the look and feel of your form you need to work a little on the submissions by setting up a custom email to be sent after a submission, set up the needed integrations (Details coming up!!!) directly or via Zapier or Integromat and even export all submissions into a CSV file or individually into PDF or Word formats.

Step 4: Sharing of Forms

This, clearly is the most crucial part where you are putting your first form to the test. Paperform offers you two options for the same as we hinted above: First, get a shareable URL under the ‘Share’ menu on the form editor and share it on social media and other platforms; Second, Embed the form on your official website in your chosen kind of embedding (inline, full screen or popup button) with a code snippet.

And voila…!!! Consider yourself an expert even without knowing a word of coding and keep building powerful forms with Paperform.
