Does Shopify Forms send an email to the person who filled in the form?

August 28, 2026·
At a glance
Short answer
Shopify Forms documents one email of its own — a per-submission notification to the store owner, not to the person who filled the form in.
Welcome email to the subscriber
Not a Forms feature: Shopify's own Forms page calls it a welcome email automation you turn on.
What Shopify doesn't document
No Forms page we read on August 27, 2026 describes the app emailing the person who submitted.
Scope of the setting
Turned on per form in your Forms settings, not once for the whole store.
Reply-to address
The customer's email address — or no-reply@shopify.com if the customer signed up with only a phone number.
What the notification contains
All the form data, plus links to the customer or company record the submission created.

Who gets the email when someone submits a Shopify form?

Shopify documents exactly one email Forms sends of its own, and the app's settings page names the recipient in a single sentence.

The Email notifications setting lets you determine whether to send an email to the store owner for each submission to a form.

The notification arrives only where you switched it on for that form, not once for the whole store. It carries all the form data plus links to the customer or company record the submission created, and its reply-to is the customer's address, or no-reply@shopify.com if the customer signed up with only a phone number.

What sends anything to the person who filled it in?

No page we have found in Shopify's Forms documentation — the app overview, create, manage, settings and Flow pages, read on August 27, 2026 — describes the app itself emailing the person who submitted. The Flow page lists a template that sends marketing emails after a submission, but that is Shopify Flow doing the sending.

A welcome message is a separate step: Shopify's own Forms page lists the welcome email automation as the next step after the form is set up. Where a subscriber does get a confirmation email, that is store-wide double opt-in you turned on under Settings > Notifications > Customer notifications, not a Forms feature.
