# Special Form Types

A regular form just sends you the answers. A special form type also performs an action on your store.

## 🔍 What Makes Them Different

A regular form just sends you the answers. A special form type also **performs an action** on your store:

<table><thead><tr><th width="185.2000732421875">Form Type</th><th>What It Does</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cart Form</strong></td><td>Display on cart page, click Checkout button to submit</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Bulk Order Form</strong></td><td>Lets customers select multiple products/variants on the form and submit</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Register Form</strong></td><td>Creates a Shopify customer account from the submission</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Multi-step Form</strong></td><td>Splits the form across several pages instead of one long scroll</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

## ⚙️ How to Use One

1. Open the app > click **Forms** > **Create new form** > **Browse pre-built forms**
2. Pick the matching category (**Order** for Cart/Bulk Order, **Register** for account sign-up)
3. Select the template — it comes pre-built with the right fields and logic already connected
4. Customize fields, styling, and settings like any other form
5. Publish as usual
