# How to Add Ninja Forms to Your WooCommerce Single Product Page: A Beginner’s Guide
Want to collect lead information directly on your WooCommerce product pages? Adding a Ninja Forms contact form is a fantastic way to boost engagement and gather valuable customer data. This guide will walk you through the process, step-by-step, even if you’re completely new to coding or form builders.
Why Add a Ninja Form to Your WooCommerce Single Product Page?
Let’s say you sell handmade jewelry. You’d love to know more about your customers’ preferences, right? Perhaps you offer custom orders, and a form allows customers to request specific designs or materials directly from the product page. Or maybe you want to gather email addresses for future promotions related to that specific product. A strategically placed Ninja Form can achieve all of this.
Here’s why it’s beneficial:
- Increased Lead Generation: Capture contact details right where the interest is highest.
- Improved Customer Engagement: Make it easy for customers to interact with your business.
- Targeted Marketing: Segment your audience based on the data collected via the form.
- Personalized Service: Offer custom options or follow-ups based on form submissions.
- Navigate to Ninja Forms > Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
- Give your form a descriptive title (e.g., “Custom Order Request”).
- Add the necessary fields. For example, you might need fields for:
- Name
- Phone Number (optional)
- Specific Design Request (textarea field)
- Once finished, click Publish.
- After publishing, you’ll see a “Shortcode” section at the bottom of the Ninja Forms editor. Copy this shortcode. It will look something like this: `[ninja_form id=1]` where `1` is the ID of your form.
- Go to Products > Edit for the specific product where you want to add the form.
- Select the product page.
- Add your form to the desired location by pasting the shortcode into the content editor.
- Important: Make sure you place the form where it’s easily visible and won’t disrupt the main product information.
- Update the product.

This guide assumes you’ve already installed Check out this post: How To Make Multiple Conditional Checkout Pages In Woocommerce and activated both WooCommerce and Ninja Forms plugins. If not, install them via your WordPress dashboard under Plugins > Add New.
Step 1: Create Your Ninja Form
Step 2: Obtain the Shortcode
Step 3: Add the Form to Your WooCommerce Product Page
There are two main methods to add your form:
Method 1: Using the WooCommerce Product Page Editor (Easiest)
Method 2: Using a Child Theme’s `functions.php` File (For More Advanced Users)
This method is more technical and requires familiarity with WordPress’s file structure and PHP. It offers more control over placement but is generally not necessary for most users.
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'add_ninja_form_to_product_page' ); function add_ninja_form_to_product_page() { echo do_shortcode( '[ninja_form id=1]' ); // Replace '1' with your form ID }
This code snippet adds the form below the product summary. You’ll need to add this code to your child theme’s `functions.php` file. Always back up your files before making changes.
Step 4: Test Your Form
After adding the form, visit your product page and ensure it displays correctly and submits data properly. Check your Ninja Forms submissions to confirm everything works as expected.
Conclusion
Adding a Ninja Form to your WooCommerce single product page is a simple yet powerful way to engage customers and collect valuable data. By following these steps, you can easily improve your lead generation and overall customer experience. Remember to choose the method that best suits your technical skill level – the WooCommerce product editor is the easiest starting point for most beginners.
