A cleaner order intake
A structured postcard order form keeps artwork, quantities, addresses, and deadlines together, making missing specifications visible.
Use dropdowns for standard sizes, stocks, sides, coatings, and turnaround options so customers order from the specifications your shop actually offers.
Place artwork and mailing-list uploads beside questions about bleed, orientation, design service, and proof contacts.
Tag orders that need design, proof review, mailing service, or a rush check, then send the submission details into the workflow your team already monitors.
Made for postcard sellers
Start with the closest order model, then replace its choices with your catalog and fulfillment process.
Capture trim size, sides, paper, coating, quantity, files, proof choice, and requested turnaround in a consistent production brief.
Present named designs and sets, let buyers choose quantities, and reveal gift fields only when they are relevant.
Collect campaign copy, branding assets, recipient counts, address files, mailing options, and target arrival dates.
Gather photos, event wording, color preferences, envelopes, return addresses, proof contacts, and pickup or shipping choices.
Build your ordering flow
Describe your catalog, then refine the generated form around your specifications and handoffs.
Name the postcard sizes, paper stocks, coatings, quantities, artwork requirements, design services, and fulfillment choices customers may select.
Use your actual options, require essential specifications, and explain bleed, safe area, file format, and resolution.
Show mailing-list upload only for direct mail, gift-message fields only for gifts, and design questions only when finished artwork is unavailable.
Publish or embed the form, then route submissions for quoting, preflight, proofing, production, or fulfillment.
Form vs email vs generic cart
A purpose-built form combines product choices, files, and instructions while hiding irrelevant questions.
