How to Embed a Form on Your Website

If you want to embed a form on your website, print it as a QR code, or simply share a link, EesyForm gives you several easy paths. Building a form takes minutes; getting people to fill it in takes a little thought. This guide walks through each sharing option so you can pick the right mix for your business.

Share the direct link anywhere

Every published form gets its own public share link. Paste that link into emails, drop it in your social media bio, or add it to a newsletter. Anyone who clicks lands straight on your form. No extra setup, nothing to install.

One nice touch: when you paste a shared link into a chat or a social post, it unfurls into a preview card with your form's title and description. People see what they are about to open before they click.

Put a QR code on the real world

Sometimes your audience is not sitting at a computer. Maybe they are at a table in your restaurant or walking past your stall at an event. For those moments, generate a downloadable QR code for your form.

• Print it on posters and flyers.
• Stick table cards on cafe tables.
• Add it to event handouts or shop windows.

People scan the code with their phone camera and land on your form instantly. It works especially well for restaurants collecting feedback and for events gathering sign-ups on the spot.

Post it to social media

Each form also comes with social share buttons, so posting your form to your favourite platform takes one tap. Quick, simple, done.

How to embed a form on your website

When you want visitors to stay on your site the whole time, use the embed option. Copy a short snippet of code, paste it into your page, and your form appears right there. Visitors answer your questions without ever leaving the page.

You have two main styles to choose from:

1. Inline placement: the form sits inside the page like any other block of content, between your text and images.
2. Popup or modal style: the form stays hidden until someone taps a button, then it opens in a neat popup over the page. This keeps pages tidy while keeping the form one tap away.

Both styles come from copy-paste snippets, so you do not need to be a developer. The full walkthrough, with each snippet and where to paste it, lives in the embed docs.

Before you publish, make the form feel like part of your site by matching colours and fonts, as covered in our guide to form design and themes.

A little extra for developers

If you or a developer on your team wants more control, there is also a small embed script you can drop into any page. And if your site is built with React, the npm package eesyform-embed handles embedding inside your app with a few lines of setup.

Which way should you choose?

There is no single right answer. Many businesses use a blend:

• A direct link for emails, bios, and newsletters.
• A QR code for anything printed.
• An embedded form on the site itself, inline or as a popup form widget.
• Share buttons for quick social posts.

However you share it, remember that links pointing to your own web address look even more trustworthy. That is where a custom domain helps. Hiding the Powered by EesyForm footer makes things feel fully yours too; that footer removal is available on the Pro plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know coding to embed a form?

No. You copy a short snippet from EesyForm and paste it into your page. If you can paste text, you can embed a form.

What is the difference between inline and popup embedding?

Inline places the form inside the page next to your other content. A popup keeps the page clean and opens the form over it when someone taps a button.

Can people scan a QR code to reach my form?

Yes. Generate a QR code for your form, download it, and print it anywhere. Scanning takes people straight to the form on their phone.

Will my form look good when the link is shared?

Yes. Shared links unfurl with a preview card showing your form's title and description, so people know what to expect before clicking.
