Who this template is for
Bulk Order Inquiry is built for online shops, makers and subscription brands who need to take an order, a deposit or a recurring payment without a checkout build.
- Online shops, makers and subscription brands working in e-commerce & payments.
- Teams who need to take an order, a deposit or a recurring payment without a checkout build without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing orders arriving as half-finished emails with no payment attached with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are shoppers and repeat customers — the form asks them 24 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of orders arriving as half-finished emails with no payment attached and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 13 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

About this template
Not every large order is a wholesale relationship. An office ordering three hundred branded bottles once, a school ordering two hundred shirts, a couple ordering a hundred favours — none of them want a trade account, and a wholesale application asks them for a resale number they do not have. This form is for the one-off. It asks who is buying and in what capacity, then the products and quantity per item, because a quantity break is the whole reason the enquiry exists. It asks when the order is needed and where it is going, with a separate question about whether the date is fixed, since one-off bulk orders are usually pinned to an event. Branding and personalisation are covered — logo placement, colours, whether artwork exists — as is the sample question, which is where most large orders are won or lost. The commercial section asks about budget per unit or in total, how the buyer expects to pay, and whether a formal quote, a purchase order or an invoice is needed, so accounts are not chasing a payment route after the goods have shipped.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Ask for quantity per product
A total unit count cannot be priced when it spans four products with different margins.
- 2
Find out whether the date is real
Event-tied deadlines determine whether the enquiry is quotable at all, so ask before quoting.
- 3
Offer a sample explicitly
For branded goods a sample converts far more enquiries than a lower price does.
- 4
Settle the payment route early
Buyers on invoice with a purchase order need that agreed before dispatch, not after.
Mistakes to avoid
- Sending bulk buyers into a wholesale application that demands trade credentials they do not have.
- Quoting without artwork, then discovering the logo needs redrawing before anything can be printed.
- Promising a delivery date without checking whether the quantity is in stock or needs a production run.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Check stock or lead time, send a written quote with the unit price and any quantity break, arrange a sample if asked, and confirm the payment route.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a wholesale order form?
Wholesale sets up a trade account with resale terms. This is a one-off quantity enquiry from any buyer.
Does it show prices?
No. It gathers what is needed to quote, since volume pricing depends on quantity, branding and lead time.
Can it take payment?
It is an enquiry, so most shops quote first. Add a payment step once the quote is accepted.
What if the buyer might reorder?
The repeat question flags that, and those enquiries are worth routing to whoever handles trade accounts.
Is the Bulk Order Inquiry template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Bulk Order Inquiry on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

It asks 24 questions across 2 pages, 13 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
