What this pre-order form asks, and why
The email address comes first and is the only answer everyone gives. People then choose between reserving one now and being told when it launches. Only people reserving are asked how many and which country it ships to, so anyone who just wants an update is done in two answers. An optional question asks which version they're after, standard or limited edition, which helps you plan the first production run. Nothing is charged: FormSnapp records the reservation, and you take payment when you're ready to ship. The answer breakdown shows reservations and launch alerts side by side.

How to get good answers from a pre-order form

Plan stock from the numbers
Use reservation quantities and variants to decide your first production run.
