Can additional fields be integrated with Webflow's CMS item to capture more data alongside payments for a sports program sign-up website?
TL;DR
- Embed custom forms (e.g., Typeform, Tally) on CMS pages to collect detailed user info for each program.
- Use Stripe or Memberstack for handling payments separately.
- Automate CMS updates and workflows via Zapier or Make if form data needs to populate the CMS.
Yes, you can integrate additional fields with Webflow’s CMS to capture more data alongside payments using workarounds and external tools. Webflow’s native CMS and eCommerce features are somewhat limited, especially when combining dynamic content with forms and payments, but you can achieve this with the steps below.
1. Understand Webflow’s CMS and Payment Limitations
- Webflow CMS does not allow direct form submissions to create CMS items unless integrated with tools like Zapier or Make.
- Webflow eCommerce only allows fields predefined in the checkout process (e.g., name, email, shipping) and doesn’t natively support dynamic form fields per CMS item such as program-specific questions.
2. Use a Third-Party Form for Advanced Data Capture
- Embed a form from tools like Typeform, Jotform, Airtable Forms, or Tally where you can collect all the necessary information (e.g., skill level, preferred schedule).
- Embed this form on the sign-up page for each sports program. Use dynamic embed code or Webflow’s CMS fields to personalize the form heading or program name.
3. Capture Payments with Stripe or Memberstack
- Use Stripe Checkout or a tool like Memberstack to handle payments outside of Webflow’s native checkout if custom form fields are required.
- You can redirect a user from the form to Stripe Checkout upon form submission, or collect form data first, then proceed to payment.
4. Automate CMS Item Creation (If Needed)
- If you need the user’s submission to populate the CMS, use Make (Integromat) or Zapier to:
- Capture the form submission.
- Create a CMS item in Webflow with the submitted data.
- Optionally, trigger confirmation emails or dashboards.
5. Consider Using Webflow Logic (Beta)
- Webflow Logic (currently in Beta) may allow you to create workflows that combine form data, custom logic, and CMS actions — but it still doesn’t support payments or dynamic field displays in forms.
Summary
To collect more data alongside payments for a sports program sign-up in Webflow, use third-party embedded forms for custom fields, and external payment tools like Stripe. Combine them with automation tools like Zapier or Make to update the CMS if needed. Webflow alone isn't sufficient for this use case without integrations.
