# Quickstart

Eight steps from a freshly installed plugin to your first live form.\
Detailed explanations are in the chapters linked below.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Install and activate the plugin

Download the Form Toolkit from the Shopware Store, install and activate it in the Extensions menu. Then open the plugin configuration and select the sales channel(s) for which the plugin should be active.

→ [Installation](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/installation.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Create the first form

In the admin menu open **Content → Form Toolkit** and click **New form**.

In the **General** tab give the form a label and set the form type to **Standard form**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Add fields

In the **Fields** tab you build the form from the left tree:

1. Open the three-dot menu on the **Form** root
2. Choose **New sub-element**
3. In the right panel pick an **Element type** (e.g. "Email")
4. Set a **Label** and (if needed) a **Technical name**
5. Toggle **Required** where applicable

Repeat for each field. Structure elements like **Field group**, **Row** or **Wizard step** give the form a clean layout.

→ [Admin dashboard](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/admin-dashboard.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Configure a mail route

In the **Email** tab define the internal recipient of each submission:

1. Click **Add route**
2. Fill in **Route name** and **Recipient**
3. Optionally pick a **Mail template** — otherwise the default "Form Toolkit – New Submission" is used

→ [Email and flow builder](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/email-and-flow-builder.md)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Set up the customer confirmation (optional)

In the same tab enable **Send confirmation mail to customer**. Pick the mail template and the form field that carries the customer's address (usually the email field from step 3).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Choose the response behaviour

In the **General** tab define what happens after a successful submit:

* **Success notice** — a confirmation message replaces the form
* **Redirect to URL** (Premium) — for example to your own thank-you page
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Activate and save

Toggle **Active** on and click **Save**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Embed the form in the storefront

Open **Content → Shopping Experiences** in Shopware, edit the desired layout and drag the **Form** element to the right place. Pick the form you just created in the right panel.

Save the layout, clear caches if needed and open the storefront page. Your form should be visible now.

→ [Storefront integration](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/storefront-integration.md)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Next steps

* Explore the [CMS elements](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/cms-elements.md) for more placements
* Set up [conditions](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/admin-dashboard.md) between fields
* Activate the [Product inquiry](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/storefront-integration.md)
* Review your [submissions](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/form-entries-and-csv-export.md)
* Compare the [plan tiers](/en/plugins/form-toolkit/advanced-and-premium-version.md)
