Organizing an event, community activity, or fundraising initiative often requires collecting both participant information and payments. Traditionally, this meant using separate tools such as Google Forms for registrations and another platform for payments.
With Nobuk, you can do both in one place. Whether you’re managing a community group, chama, business, or event, Nobuk’s payment forms make it easy to collect information and receive payments directly through a customized form.
In this guide, we’ll walk through how to create a simple registration form for a run and share it with participants.

Open the Nobuk app and navigate to the main dashboard.
Click forms to begin creating your registration form.
Step 2:Nobuk gives you several ways to get started:
- Manual Creation – Build a form from scratch.
- Use a Template – Select from ready-made templates for common use cases.
- Clone an Existing Form – Duplicate a previously created form and customize it to suit your needs.
Choose the option that works best for your event.
Step 3: Add Your Form Details
Click on the Form Title section to customize your form.
Be sure to add:
- A clear and descriptive title
- A brief description explaining the purpose of the form
- A completion message that participants will see after submitting the form
For example:
Title: Register for the Community Fun Run
Description: The run is set to raise money for kids across Kibera slums
Finish Message: Thanks for registering
These details help participants understand exactly what they are signing up for.
