# Creating GiveWP Forms

Creating a GiveWP form can be done minimally in just a few clicks. But the power of GiveWP is also all the flexibility you have to customize your donation forms to your exact use-case. This document will walk you through all the options you have to create the form you need.

## Creating a GiveWP Form for a Campaign

Each form belongs to a campaign, and you must access your campaign to create new forms.

1. In your website admin, navigate to **GiveWP > Campaigns**.
2. Select the campaign you want to add a form to.
3. Go to the **Forms** tab and use the **Add campaign form** button to add a new donation form.
4. The **Visual Donation Form Builder** will automatically open so you can **customize and publish your new form**.

Watch this video for a quick demonstration of how to create a donation form in GiveWP.

## Choosing a Donation Form Editor

If you created donation forms before the Visual Donation Form Builder was added to GiveWP, you might still have the older form editor we call the Option-Based Editor. When you have the Option-Based Editor, you will be prompted to choose which editor to use before the form is created and opened in the editor.

Before you can start accepting donations, you’ll need to edit your form to customize the design and configure the form fields and settings. [Learn how to edit your form.](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/give/edit-forms/)
