- Hosted widget: submissions live in Common Ninja's dashboard, not Squarespace
- Free plan covers one form; paid tiers lift submission limits and unlock advanced features
- Squarespace code blocks need a Core (formerly Business) plan or higher
- No stock control, tax calculation or shipping rates
- Payment integration is a paid-tier feature; Squarespace Commerce may be the better value once you need it
Overview
What Order Form Creator (Common Ninja) is
Order Form Creator is Common Ninja's order-taking form widget, a hosted form you build in Common Ninja's editor and embed on a Squarespace page. The old copy here described buttons, tabs and accordions, a different product.
What it does
The vendor page lists item name, quantity, price, variants such as size and colour, custom options like engraving text, and an optional shipping address, with minimum and maximum quantities and section headers. PayPal or Stripe integration collects payment at submission so the order arrives already paid; Stripe takes card details inline and PayPal uses its own button flow. Notification emails fire when an order lands, the customer gets an automated confirmation, and orders export to CSV for fulfilment and accounting.
Who it suits
Custom cake makers, made-to-order crafts, B2B reorder forms, takeaway menus and service requests on Squarespace where a structured form beats a full checkout.
One honest caveat
Squarespace Commerce already handles products, variants, inventory, tax and shipping properly, and once you need payments (a Common Ninja paid-tier feature) a Core plan is often the better value. Use this for genuinely simple flows: there is no stock control, tax calculation or shipping rates, and orders live in Common Ninja's dashboard rather than your Squarespace orders panel.
Setup and pricing
Build the form in Common Ninja's editor and paste the embed code into a Squarespace code block (Core, formerly Business, plan or higher). Common Ninja is recurring software: the free plan covers one order form with no time limit, and paid tiers add forms, submission volume, premium skins and the advanced features noted above.
