It brings site pages and content together with product catalogs, variants, pricing, checkout, customer and order management, fulfillment, and reporting. Maxforms supports branded forms for leads, applications, registrations, payments, uploads, and internal workflows. AI-assisted workflows can help with browser titles, meta descriptions, and product discovery content. Integrations include Clover, Google Analytics, HubSpot, Mailchimp, QuickBooks Online, TaxJar, Zapier, and POS systems. Developers can use documented APIs, webhooks, plugins, Zapier, and a tenant-scoped MCP server.
