Complete Control over Infusionsoft Order Forms

I hate self-hosted Infusionsoft Order forms… You loose a lot of the elegance of them. They just look blech…

So, I wrote a javascript library that you can put in the header of your Infusionsoft Hosted Order Form that allows you to paste your own html for the order form with special placeholders for the fields, and another special tag for the error list, and it lets you make your order form look any way you want.

One of the things you’ll need for this to work properly is this bookmarklet. The Infusionsoft Source code editor on the Order Form Header and Footer editor is very slow when your html get’s HUGE. This bookmarklet will convert the “Big Tiny” editor into a text box so that you can edit your code easily without waiting minutes for the code editor to highlight your code.

Just drag this link to your toolbar: Order Form Header and Footer Code Editor To Textbox

Add a popup Calendar to your Hosted Webform!!

Check out this tool!!


Hosted Web Forms – Put a Calendar on a field.

A Client of mine requested a way to put a popup calendar on a webform. His customer’s fill out a web form specifying a day they would like to reserve his services. He has found that customers frequently enter the wrong date… Thus, a calendar popup should alleviate this by helping customer’s see the day of week, etc… Of the date they select.

Adding this calendar to a hosted webform is a piece of cake. Just add the following code to your webform, and replace the jQuery selector with the proper one.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.11/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.11/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('#inf_field_someField').datepicker();
</script>

See the demo form below… Click on any field to see the calendar.

Make the new hosted webforms Transparent!!!

I recently added a webform to my site (on the contact us page). But I didn’t like the white background… With a few javascript tweaks embeded in the webform as an html snippet, the form is transparent and it looks great! Check it out below…



Hosted Web Froms – Make Transparent

To make a hosted Web form transparent, just add an html snippet, and add the following code:

<style>
  #mainContent .background, #mainContent .body {
    background-color: transparent;
  }
</style>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
  jQuery(document).ready(
    function(){
      jQuery('#mainContent td.body, table.bodyContainer').removeAttr('bgcolor');
    }
  );
</script>

5 Ways to make more money with Infusionsoft

It constantly amazes me how many little things people can do to maximize their income with Infusionsoft.  Most people only use the basic features of Infusionsoft and still bring in the dough.  Here are a few of the little things I seen that are easy to implement and will help you make Infusionsoft that much more powerful.

  1. Change your default Opt-Out link to An Update / Opt Out Link, and rename it to “Update your subscription preferences”.  (To do this, go to “Misc Settings -> Marketing -> Links -> Opt In / Out” and click edit on the link you want to change.)  This will allow your prospects and customers to opt out of a single follow-up sequence instead of becoming non-marketable across the system when they un-subscribe.
  2. Use the upsell features in the shopping cart.
  3. Change your thankyou pages to ALWAYS include a javascript, or meta tag redirect back to your site.  i.e.  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://infusionsofthacks.com/">   The (2) is the time in seconds before redirecting.  Or: <script> setTimeout(function(){window.location = "http://infusionsofthacks.com"; }, 2*1000);</script>  (2 is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting.)
  4. Setup a default autocharge trigger for all your products that sends out a credit card update link.  This will let your customers update their credit card information without having to call you.  You can set it up to send the email either after a card has expired or after a card has been declined X number of times.
  5. Put product buy now links in you emails…  In the shopping cart setup area, you can create buy now links for your products.  Don’t let an email go out without a buy now product link.

Host a Webform From Infusionsoft!

You can get Infusionsoft to host your webform for you…  Here’s how.  Log into you App, and create a new trackable link, while creating the trackable link, copy the WebForm html.  In the trackable link setup area configure a thank you page.  In the upper left hand corner of the thank you page edit area, there is a button that says “HTML”.  Click on this button.  Now, paste the Web Form HTML into the html source (You probably want to highlight the text, and just replace that, so that you still have the fancy border for the thankyou page.)

Now, create a new email broadcast, and put the trackable link you just created in the email.  Now, add yourself to the recipient list, and send the broadcast.  Now, check your email, and copy the link.  Viola!!!  This link now takes people to the webform, hosted by infusionsoft.
