Formsite is an online form builder for creating forms, surveys, questionnaires, polls, ecommerce pages, and secure data-collection sites. Its drag-and-drop builder has over 100 customizable templates and 40 question types. Forms can span multiple pages and use logic and calculations based on form fields. Users can share forms through secure links or embed them in websites; forms are responsive on desktops, tablets, and phones. Formsite supports file uploads and payment collection through PayPal, Braintree, Authorize.net, and Stripe. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Google Drive and Sheets, Dropbox, Mailchimp, Slack, Box, OneDrive, Zapier, Amazon S3, DocuSign, and Google Calendar.
