Yes, it is possible to allow customers to upload pictures on a Webflow site without upgrading to Ecommerce Plus, Advanced, or Business site plan by using custom code and third-party integrations. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Choose a third-party form builder: Since Webflow does not natively support file uploads on their lower plans, you will need to integrate a third-party form builder that allows for file uploads. JotForm, Typeform, and Wufoo are some popular options.

  2. Create a form: Once you have chosen a form builder, create a form that includes a file upload field where customers can upload their pictures. Customize the form fields and design to fit your website's branding.

  3. Embed the form on your Webflow site: After creating the form, you will be provided with an embed code or a direct link to your form. In Webflow, you can use an HTML Embed element to add the form to your site. Place the embed element where you want the form to appear on your page.

  4. Configure form settings: Within your form builder, make sure to set up the necessary settings for file uploads, such as maximum file size, file types allowed, and any required fields. You may also want to enable notifications or autoresponders to inform customers once their pictures have been submitted.

  5. Test and optimize: Before going live, make sure to perform thorough testing to ensure that the form is working correctly and that the uploaded files are being stored or sent to the desired location. Optimize the form by adding clear instructions and disabling unnecessary fields or features.

By following these steps, you can enable customers to upload pictures on your Webflow site without upgrading to a higher-priced plan.
