Kartra Plan Requirements to Create Forms
Kartra forms are a core feature, which means that all subscription plans have access and can use them.
The only slight limitation you may have is that if you use the Starter plan, you have a page limit of 100, so you wouldn’t be able to publish more than 100 unique form pages.
Other than that, all plans can create forms, use drag-and-drop templates, and take advantage of customization features.
| Subscription Plan | Form Feature |
|---|---|
| Starter Plan | ✅ |
| Silver Plan | ✅ |
| Gold Plan | ✅ |
| Platinum Plan | ✅ |

How to Create a Kartra Form
There are so many form options and templates, so we’ve decided to pick a commonly used one to explain this process: an opt-in email form.
Here’s how to create a form:
- Once on your Kartra dashboard, select Forms on the left-hand side of the screen.
- The Form page will appear. Here, you’ll be shown any forms that you’ve previously created. To create a new one, select + Form on the bottom left of the screen.
- A pop-up will appear: enter the name of your new form.
- Then, click Create at the top right.
- You’ll now be redirected to the form creation page. There are automatically two fields for you to choose from: the name and email. If that’s all you want to collect, then click confirm at the top of the page
- To add custom fields, select the + New Field box and either add a predefined field or a custom field.
- When finished, click Add field. To move on, click Confirm at the top left of the Form Fields section.
- Then, select Save and Next.
- Choose whether you want a single or double opt-in. A double opt-in will send a link to the form completer’s email to confirm the opt-in
- Select Confirm.
- You’ll then need to add a URL for the success page (premade page containing the page you’d like customers to see after they’ve opted in).
- Click Save and Next.
- If you’d like to send your lead a welcome message, you can choose from the options – if you don’t want to send one, check the appropriate box.
- Click Confirm.
- To configure automations, check each tag and turn on any automation you’d like enabled. To turn them on, click Change on the right-hand side and configure the setup.
- When complete, select Save and Next at the bottom of the page.
- Select whether you’d like it the form on a Kartra page, in a video, or embedded on your website
- If you’re embedding the form, click on Launch Your Form Builder to start customizing it.
- Once redirected to the builder, click on the Options on the left-hand side of the screen and modify types and settings adjusted to your needs.
- Once done, click on Actions, Save and Exit, Confirm, and then Save and Exit again.
Your form is now complete and ready to be used inside your Page Builder.
Alternative Software for Creating Kartra Forms
If Kartra’s Form Builder doesn’t have the functionality and features you need, you may have to opt for an alternative form-building software that you can integrate.
Here are some alternative form options that work with the platform:
- Paperform – They allow you to schedule, integrate with other platforms, create order forms, and sell using forms.
- PDF filler – You can integrate this software to let customers annotate, edit, and sign a PDF form within Kartra; this is designed more for formal documents.
- Elementor forms – If you’re more comfortable with WordPress and already using Elementor forms, you can forward submissions straight into your Kartra lead database.
