How to Add a Registration Form in Wix

Option 1: Create a registration form with Wix Forms

Using Wix to create a registration form with the native form builder is a simple process. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Wix Harmony Editor for your website. Click + Add on the left, select Elements, and then select Form & Contact from the left sidebar.

2. You can select Create New Form to start from scratch, select Add Existing Form to reuse a form, or drag a ready-made template onto your page.

3. Once you’ve added the registration form, click on the form and select Edit Form to customize it.

This takes you to the form editor, where you can:

• Customize fields: Click the + Add icon on the left to add new fields. You can also select an existing field to edit its label, make it required, or delete it.
• Add payment fields: Under Payments, select Fixed Price to collect a registration fee or Custom Price to let respondents enter an amount.
• Adjust form settings: Open Settings to change the form name, required-field indicators, and spam protection. Under Confirmation Message, you can display a thank-you message, redirect respondents to another URL, or clear the form after submission.

4. Back in the Wix Harmony Editor, you can select the form’s Settings icon to adjust its layout and design.

5. Once you’re happy with your form, click Save and use Preview to make sure everything works. Then click Publish to make it live.

That’s it. Your registration form is ready to collect signups. You can view responses under Forms & Submissions in your Wix dashboard and manage email notifications whenever needed.
