We are very close to releasing our first version of conditional forms.

The way it works is, you place a conditional container in your forms, and then place the checkout components that you want to show or hide based on some condition.

This feature will be available in all of our premium plans and will enable you to make better checkout forms that will increase conversions and make your life as a merchant much easier.

We may have a beta this week. But here is a glimpse, so you can think through how you will use it in your business.

A tremendous amount of effort went into this feature. We have been working on it since November. The challenge is not the code, it’s the design and experience we give our users. It must be the best you have ever experienced, so it usually has to go multiple rounds with our UI/UX team to get perfect.
