Find products easily in order forms with a new search tool

Providing a wide range of choices in your online store can be good for business but bad for customers. 

There’s a good chance they don’t want to scroll through the list of products you’re selling, read multiple product descriptions, and go through the process of elimination on their own.

These hassles can not only frustrate customers but also convince them to abandon their shopping cart and find what they need elsewhere.

Jotform’s new search tool makes it easy for your customers to find exactly what they want or need without breaking a sweat. 

Since this tool is available in all of Jotform’s payment processor integrations, including those with Square, PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.Net, you can easily create a detailed product order form or food and beverage order form that doesn’t overwhelm your customers.

When customers use the search box beside your list of products, Jotform’s search tool will filter the items you’re selling and only display relevant options that include the words or phrases customers are trying to find. The search tool narrows down options by locating words or phrases within the names and descriptions for each product.
