How To Make The Business Card Ordering Process Easier

The whole process takes just a few steps, and you don’t need to write any code. We’ll install WPForms, start from an order form template, add your card options as images, turn on payments, and embed the finished form on your site.

If you want to see a tutorial on a standard order form instead, check out our detailed steps for creating a simple order form in WPForms.

Step 1: Install and Activate the WPForms Plugin

Creating a business card order form is an easy and straightforward process. I recommend getting the WPForms Pro license for this purpose.

Not only will you unlock tons of extra features, addons, and 2,100+ WordPress form templates+ WordPress templates, but you’ll also remove extra fees associated with Stripe payment processing.

After purchasing WPForms Pro, you can install WPForms on your site. If you need help with the setup, see the steps mentioned here for installing WPForms.

When WPForms is ready on your site, we can go ahead and create a custom business card order form as shown in the next steps.

Step 2: Create Your Business Card Order Form

Open your WordPress admin menu and navigate to WPForms » Add New.

Now, you’re ready to give a name to your form (this is for internal reference only) and select a template.

I suggest using the billing/order form template because it includes most of the fields you’ll need for your business card order form. It’s one of the many options from our business operations template category.

As soon as you select the order form template, you’ll be taken to the WPForms form builder. You can see your order form on the right and the list of form fields on the left.

Before you start editing, it helps to know what a business card order form should collect at a minimum:

• Card design: the styles or templates a buyer can choose from, ideally shown as images
• Quantity: how many cards they want, since pricing usually depends on volume
• Paper stock and finish: options like matte, glossy, or textured card stock
• Contact details to print: the name, title, phone, and email that go on the card
• Shipping address: where the finished cards should be sent
• Special instructions: a spot for notes like a logo file or a color preference

You can add additional fields to the form by dragging them from the left-hand side to the right-hand side of the builder.

Because our goal here is to sell business cards, I’ll edit the Available Items field to match business card options that customers can choose from.

To access options for any field, simply click on it and the Field Options will open on the left-hand pane.

Let’s change the label of the field so that it makes more sense, something like Choose your business card.

Let’s also add 4 business card options and complete them with image choices, so your customers know exactly what they’re getting when they pick an option.

You can change the label of the items you’re selling as well as their price. These options are available in the Items section. The first column is the label and the second column is where you can enter the price for that item as I’ve done here:

You can add or remove options by clicking on the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons on the right of each row.

If you’d like to display the price of each business card option, enable the Show price after item labels toggle button under the Items fields.

Great! Now, let’s see if we can make this form more visual by adding images of the business cards you’re selling.

Step 3: Add Images of Business Cards Options

Now, it’s time to add images of the business cards you want available for people to choose from. To add images, enable the Use image choices toggle button.

You can now upload your business card images in the Multiple Items form field. Just click on Upload Image under each option and choose the images you want to add for each item available for purchase.

As you upload an image, you can check the live preview ti make sure they look like you want them to.

Moreover, you can also choose the image layout for your business card order form. In the left-hand panel of the form editor, click on Advanced. Then choose one of the options from the Choice Layout dropdown.

You can display your images in:

• Line
• 1 column
• 2 columns
• 3 columns

Now let’s configure the payment settings for your form.

Step 4: Configure Your Form’s Payment Settings

While creating an online order form, it’s important to set the payment options correctly for your buyers and business.

To configure the payment settings for your business card order form, click on the Payments tab on the very left corner of your page.

WPForms integrates with PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net, and Stripe for accepting payments. For our order form, we’ll choose Stripe to process payments.

Note: The Authorize.Net payment option is included in the WPForms Elite Plan.

Here you’ll need to configure the following options:

• Toggle on Enable Stripe Payments
• Map the Stripe Payment Receipt field to the Email Address field in the form to send a payment receipt from Stripe directly to your customer’s inbox
• Select the field to pull the email address from for the Customer Email dropdown to track payments from your Stripe dashboard.

If you’re using this as an internal request form rather than selling cards, you can skip payments entirely and just collect the order details. Here’s how to create an order form without payment.

Once done, click on the Save button. Superb! You’ve configured the payment settings. Now let’s tweak some additional settings for your online business card order form.

Step 5: Customize Your Form’s Notifications and Confirmations

To edit your form notifications, go to Settings » Notifications inside the form builder.

Here, you can customize which email addresses receive notifications about order form submissions.

You can also add multiple form notifications. This is helpful if you want to send a separate notification to your customers as well and let them know that you’ve received their order.

Next, click on the Confirmation tab to customize the message people receive from you once they submit their order form.

WPForms has three confirmation types, Message, Show Page, and Go to URL (redirect).

• Message: You can display a sweet and simple customized message to your buyers once they complete their purchase.
• Show Page: You can create and display a beautiful Thank You Page to your buyers. Choosing this confirmation type helps you redirect your customers to a thank you page on your website.
• Go to URL (Redirect). This option is used when you want to send site visitors to a different website.

Step 6: Add Your Business Card Order Form to Your Website

And you’ve configured all your form settings successfully. Lastly, you need to embed your business card order form on your website.

With WPForms, you can add online forms in multiple locations, including your blog posts, pages, and even sidebar widgets of your website.

Before embedding your form to a page, you can check how your form will look on your website page. To preview your form, click on the Preview button at the top.

Let’s add your business card order form to your page.

Create a new page or open an existing page on the WordPress website. Click on the + icon and add the WPForms block from the block editor.

Select your form and publish the page.

Congrats! You’ve created a business card order form for your website. Now you can start making sales.

If you ever need to find an order from a specific customer, you can go to WPForms » Entries and search for their name, email address, or even their receipt number.

And there you have it! You now know how to create a business card order form using the image choices feature in WPForms.

FAQs About Business Card Order Forms

A business card order form can sell cards to customers or work as a business card request form for your team. Here are the questions that come up most often when you set one up.

What is a business card order form?

A business card order form is a form you use to collect and manage business card orders on your website.

It lets people choose a design, enter the details that go on the card, and submit their order, along with payment if you’re selling cards.

Companies also use it as a business card request form, so employees can order their own cards without emailing HR or the design team.

Why create a business card order form with WPForms?

WPForms is a beginner-friendly form builder trusted by over 6 million websites, and it gives your order form features a plain template can’t. You can:

• Add images to your form so buyers pick a card by sight
• Add a pricing dropdown for quick selection
• Connect payment tools like PayPal, Square, or Stripe to collect payment
• Add a coupon code field for discounts
• Build many other form types from the same plugin

How can I reduce abandonment on my business card order form?

Long forms that ask for everything at once tend to lose people partway through. One way to keep them engaged is to create a multi-step form, which breaks the order into smaller, less overwhelming pages.

How do I arrange a business card?

Start with the essentials, your name, title, company logo, and contact details, and keep the layout clean and easy to read. If you’re ordering for a team, a business card order form like the one above helps you gather everyone’s details in one organized place.

What is the standard business card size?

The standard business card size is 3.5 x 2 inches (88.9 x 50.8 mm). It fits comfortably into most wallets and cardholders, which is why it’s the most common choice.

How many business cards should I order?

A typical order runs from 100 to 500 cards, depending on how often you hand them out. If you attend a lot of events or conferences, order on the higher end. A business card order form makes it easy to manage several orders and quantities at once.
