The Paperform platform

# Everything after “Submit”, handled.

One form can price the job, send the contract, take the payment, book the call and update your CRM. Here’s how each part works, and why it keeps working when your process gets complicated.

1 · Capture

## Forms people actually finish.

Build in an editor that works like a doc: type your questions, drop in images and video, and apply your brand. Ask everything you need the first time, and only what’s relevant to each person.

 - One-question-at-a-time Guided Mode, or full-page and multi-page layouts
 - Your fonts, colors and custom domain, plus custom HTML and CSS on Pro and up
 - File uploads, signatures, ratings, matrices, addresses and more
 - Partial submissions on Pro and up, so you can follow up on people who didn’t finish
    ![video]()

2 · Decide

## Logic and calculations that follow the real process.

This is where simple form tools run out. Paperform’s calculations work like Excel formulas, and their results can drive everything downstream: which questions appear, what the price is, where the submission goes and what each person is sent.

 - Formulas for pricing, quotes, scores, dates, totals and tax
 - Conditional logic on questions, pages, emails, success pages and integrations
 - Scoring and routing to send each submission to the right person
 - Ask AI to write the formula for you, then check it in the live preview

 ![An IF formula in Paperform's calculation editor with a live preview of the result](/website/images/calculation-preview.png)
 ![Score-based logic in Paperform](/website/images/scoring-preview.png)

3 · Sign

## Contracts signed without leaving the flow.

Papersign turns submission data into a contract, agreement or consent form and sends it for legally binding eSignature. No copying details into a separate app, and no chasing: the next step runs the moment it’s signed.

 - Documents filled from the answers in the form
 - Automatic reminders, an activity trail and a signing certificate for every document
 - Every signed document links back to the submission it came from
 - Signed documents: 3 / month on Free, 25 / month on Pro and 100 / month on Business

From submission #1042

4 · Pay

## Get paid without building a checkout.

Take one-off payments, deposits and subscriptions in the same form that captured the order, with the price worked out live from the customer’s answers.

 - Stripe, PayPal, Square and more
 - Subscriptions, deposits, coupons, discounts and tax
 - Unlimited payment submissions on every plan
 - Paperform charges no transaction fees and takes no cut of what you sell
    ![A Paperform checkout with an order summary and card payment powered by Stripe](/images/checkout.png)
 30% deposit today Coupon applied: -10% 0% Paperform fees
5 · Book

## Bookings as one step of a bigger form.

Add a scheduling field anywhere in a form. People pick a time that suits both of you after they’ve told you what the meeting is for, and paid for it if they need to.

 - Set your availability, and let people choose a time inside the form
 - Two-way Google Calendar sync, so existing events block out busy times
 - Unlimited appointment submissions on every plan

Step 3 of 4 · Book your call

6 · Automate

## What happens next, without you.

Stepper, included in every plan, turns each submission into a multi-step workflow: branch on the answers, create records, notify the right people and keep your other systems in sync. Describe it in plain language and the AI builder drafts it for you.

 - Branches, approvals and hand-offs between teams
 - 4,000+ integrations through Stepper, native connections, Zapier and Make
 - Webhooks and a REST API when your developers want in

7 · Analyse

## Understand what’s working.

See completion rates and drop-off at a glance, then ask AI Insights a question in plain English and get a readable summary of what hundreds or thousands of responses are telling you.

 - Built-in analytics on form performance and drop-off questions, on Pro and up
 - AI Insights summaries, themes and follow-up questions
 - Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel tracking, plus CSV, PDF and .DOC exports

What it replaces

## One subscription instead of a stack.

## “There’s always a road.”


> “All of those scenarios, all of those permutations and edge cases, we can handle all of them within Paperform in a straightforward, clean, and simple way.”

***Richard Foxworthy** Co-founder and CEO, Bill Hero [Read the story →](/case-studies/customer-story-bill-hero/)*


> “With Paperform, I found there’s always a road and it’s well designed and it’s thoughtful and it’s flexible. I don’t get to the end of building something and realize, ‘there’s just this one piece that keeps the whole thing from not working.’ And man, that’s gold when it comes to technology.”

***Starlight Mundy** Founder, Bottled Lightning [Read the story →](/case-studies/starlight-mundy-system-consultant-paperform-case-study/)*


> “It’s fire-and-forget. I build the doc once, template it, send it, and it handles the rest. The moment it’s signed, I’m notified. My clients know what to expect. I don’t have to chase anything down.”
