• Label Placement: Determine the placement of the label that you set previously concerning the input field. The available options are Top, Left, Right, and Default. All of those are self-explanatory except the Default. What it means is that it will represent your global label placement settings.

• Admin Field Label: If you want to show a different label for your admin users when they view the form submissions, you can configure that. It doesn’t have any actual effect on the form but rather only for administrative purposes.

• Subscription Type: You can offer the user multiple or single subscription plans. You can choose a select field or radio field.

• Has Signup Fee: If you want to add a signup fee additionally, suppose you want to charge 30$ on each billing cycle but want to charge an extra $10 on the first payment. You can enable this option and add a value of $10. So on the first payment, they have to pay $10 + $30; from the next billing cycle, they will pay $30.
