# Cart form
A **Cart Form** lets you collect extra information from customers *before* they checkout, like special instructions, order notes, gift messages, etc. With Powerful Contact Form Builder you can build a cart form fast, then attach it to your store cart page.
### ℹ️ Before You Begin
* Cart Form is available only on the **Premium plan (or higher)**.
* Each store can create **only one cart form**.
* Cart Form works with your theme’s **default cart page**. If you use a custom checkout flow or non-standard cart template (via a 3rd-party app), cart form may not work correctly.
### 🧩 How the Cart Form Works
#### 1 — Customer fills in the Cart Form
When shoppers are on the **cart page**, they see your cart form fields — for example:
* “How did you hear about us?”
* “Delivery date”
* “Message”
* “Agree to terms & conditions”
#### 2 — The form is submitted when the shopper clicks **Checkout**
Unlike a normal form, customers do not press a “**Submit**” button.\
The form is automatically submitted the moment they click the **Checkout** button.
#### 3 — You can view the Cart Form data inside the order
When the order is placed, the cart form answers appear inside the **Additional Details** section of the Shopify order page.

### 🛠️ Steps to Create & Add a Cart Form
#### 📝 Step 1 — Create the Cart Form in the App

2\. The form template lists show up > select **Oder** > **Cart form**
3\. In form configuration, add elements and configure the form based on your needs
4\. Click **Save** to finish
#### 📝 Step 2 — Add the Cart Form to Your Cart Page Template
**Important**: This form type and page template are special. To make sure it works, please let our developers help you add the form. Contact us at after you create the form.
1\. Form the Shopify admin page, go to **Themes** > click **Edit theme**
2\. Go to the **Cart** page template
3\. Click **Add section** > select **Form Builder app**

#### 📝 Step 3 — Check form on the site
Visit your store’s cart page (as a customer would — after adding items to cart).
You should see the cart form appear above the checkout button (or wherever the block was placed).
When the customer clicks **Checkout**, the cart form inputs are submitted along with the order.
