Why Use Spike with Shopify

Shopify doesn’t have a built-in contact form backend with advanced features. Spike gives you:
  • Unlimited form submissions
  • Email notifications for every submission
  • Spam protection (honeypot, reCAPTCHA, Turnstile)
  • Webhooks to connect to your order systems
  • 21+ integrations (Slack, Google Sheets, etc.)
  • File upload support for order attachments

​
Setup Steps

1

Create Spike Form

Create a new form in your Spike dashboard and copy the form slug.
2

Edit Theme

In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize. Add a Custom Liquid section where you want the form.
3

Paste Form HTML

Paste your Spike form HTML into the Custom Liquid block.
4

Save

Save the theme. Your form is live.
