Embed any custom Breezing Form into your VirtueMart products

Breezing Forms Custom Fields for VirtueMart allows you to embed custom Crosstec Breezing Forms directly inside of a VirtueMart product detail page, requiring the shopper to complete the form before the item can be added to the cart.

Now you can have infinite possibilities for conditional fields, complex form queries, and more by integrating a best-in-class forms component with VirtueMart 2!

What our extension does is simply allow you to embed your custom Breezing Form into a VirtueMart product page. You can replace almost any VM2 custom field capability. 

• Develop completely custom forms to collect ANY information you want from your customers
• Embed the form right inside of the VirtueMart product detail page
• NEW! Associated up to 20 different Breezing Forms, each with unlimited VirtueMart 2 products
• Adjust product pricing as needed, based on shopper responses in the form
• Override the product pricing with the form values, or calculated values
• NEW! Dynamically display the pricing as it calculates in the form (AJAX method)
• Select which form response fields should be brought into the customer's cart view and order - they'll show up just like any native VM2 custom fields

In some cases, you may need to make small tweaks to your VirtueMart template and CSS to make your embedded Breezing Form look its best inside your VirtueMart product details page. You will therefore find it helpful, although not mandatory, to know HTML and CSS.

Step One: Prepare your Breezing Form. It must be fully configured, tested & ready to use.
