If you have 6 or so minutes, grab a cuppa and enjoy this chat with Tom Wrench, Co-Founder of SmileBox! ☕

Tom Wrench used Paperform to process around 30,000 gifts and roughly NZ$850,000.

Tom founded SmileBox with his wife in 2018 and later exited it. Early on he ran orders through a basic WordPress form. But when he needed more, he found Paperform, and use it to scale from there.

Every Smilebox gift order meant a string of decisions: which card, what message, whether to add a photo, and whose address it was going to. Add a price that changed with each answer, and a standard cart setup just never fit.

In this quick interview, Tom shares how Paperform was the starting point for a system of integrations, including Trello, Xero, and a confirmation email, that helped them scale.

This Squarespace expert just shared the exact testimonial form she sends after every website launch. 👀

And you can grab the template for free!

It solves a problem almost every service business has:
How do you ask for a testimonial without making it awkward?

For the final video in our series with Christy Price, she walks through the feedback form she uses to turn completed projects into better testimonials and better client feedback.

It's a really smart way to close out a project.

Better feedback and testimonials. Less awkward asking.

Writing code is no longer tech’s bottleneck. The new bottleneck is knowing whether you can trust what just got built.

AI is often brilliant. But it can't be accountable for what it builds.
That means someone is left answering for a system they may have no way to inspect.

If we were starting from scratch in 2026, how would we actually build Paperform? 10 years has certainly given us clarity.

Our upcoming founder chat will reveal all.

James Howes is a global commercial operator for HSBC, Coca-Cola, and Maersk. So when needed a way to prove his app's viability before making a $100,000 investment, he used his expertise and turned to the tools he could trust: Paperform and Stepper.

We love seeing what people build and proving just how powerful our platform of tools is. 🦾

Read James’s story:

James Howes couldn't afford a $100,000 custom app for Buff Dads Club, so he used Paperform and Stepper to build a working proof of concept instead — and turned it into paying members.

The tech industry needs to stop building for nerds.

Here's our argument: https://paperform.co/blog/ai-didnt-close-the-gap/
AI has made technical people dramatically more capable, but left everyone else further behind. that growing gap is the problem tech companies are missing.

If you don't meet people where they actually are, you're not building for most people. You're building for nerds.

The last couple of weeks have gone into the parts of Paperform you touch every single day: building a form, getting it live, and ensuring that is smooth. Here is what is new.

A cleaner way to start with AI
The AI create-form screen has a fresh look. There is a full *Generate* button front and centre, idea prompts are capped and tucked behind a tidy *More ideas* link to the page, and the template library now has a full search field with a *Load more* button, so finding the right starting point takes seconds instead of endless scrolling.

No more submissions delayed to a network blip
If a submission webhook to another tool failed to connect before any data went out, it used to just vanish. Now it retries automatically, so a brief network hiccup no longer means a wait for retries.

And over in Paperform’s workflow tool - Stepper
Our free workflows tool Stepper has five new apps live: Zoho Bookings, MongoDB Atlas, Braintree, Datadog and Podio. With almost 500 apps connected, you can do much more with your form workflows all in the one platform! (Stepper is available in the Paperform dashboard at https://app.stepper.io/flows)

None of this happens without you telling us what is clunky and what is missing, so please keep it coming.

Head to your dashboard and try the new AI create-form screen for yourself, we think you will notice the difference.

Workspaces are now shared across Paperform, Papersign and Stepper. Your forms, your contracts and your workflows can now live in the same space.

Our products have always been built to work together. But working together should also mean feeling like one place, and shared workspaces are the foundation for that.

→ You'll see all of your workspaces, everywhere. Open Paperform, Papersign or Stepper and you'll see the same list, including ones that used to belong to another product.

→ You can move things between workspaces. Drag a form, a document or a workflow into any workspace you like. Organize by client, team or project instead of by product.

→ Everything for one project can finally live together. The intake form, the contract and the automation that connects them can now sit side by side.
Nothing has been moved or renamed, your links still work, and there's nothing you need to do.

This is the first of several changes we are planning to bring them closer.

Yes Harold, we hide the pain on the inside too.

On-time client responses and assets can be painful to collect.

But with Paperform just use one link, one form, and you can have it all in once place. Make collecting files and briefs a no-brainer with our customizable and brandable templates.

That’s 30,000 templates to choose from. You heard right.
