How to Customize the Reservation Form in WPCafe

The Form Customization feature in WPCafe lets you easily design your restaurant’s reservation form.
You can enable or disable existing fields, add your own custom ones, and even split the form into multiple steps for a smoother booking experience.

Accessing the Form Customization Page #

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to WPCafe → Settings → Reservation → Customization.
3. You’ll now see all available form fields and customization options.

Manage Form Fields

WPCafe includes ready-to-use fields such as:

• Name
• Email
• Contact number
• Date & Time
• Total Guests
• Additional Notes

You can:

• Enable or disable each field using the toggle switch.
• Reorder fields by dragging and dropping (custom fields only).
• Edit or remove custom fields if needed.

Note: Built-in fields can be toggled on/off but cannot be moved or deleted.

Add Custom Fields #

If you need additional information from your guests, you can easily add new fields:

1. Scroll down to the bottom of the form customization area.
2. Click “Add New Custom Field.”
3. Choose a field type (e.g., text, number, date, dropdown, etc.).
4. Enter a label, placeholder, and mark whether it’s required.
5. Save your changes — your custom field will appear in the form.

Create Multi-Step Reservation Forms #

WPCafe allows you to divide your booking form into multiple steps for a smoother user experience.
To do this:

1. Click the “Add Step” button near the top of the customization panel.
2. Assign form fields to each step (for example: Step 1 – Guest Info, Step 2 – Booking Details).
3. Save your configuration.

This feature helps reduce form abandonment and improves clarity for guests making reservations.
