The problem.
5-Hour Energy’s Retailer Rewards site ran its forms through FormStack, but those forms couldn’t search or filter. Finding a nearby drink distributor meant someone checking a spreadsheet by hand; retailers needed to enter a zip code and be connected to one straight away.
What I did.
I built a small WordPress plugin in JavaScript and PHP that talks to FormStack’s API. It sends the zip code a visitor enters, gets back the matching distributors, and shows only what’s relevant to that search.
What they got.
A working search tool inside their existing WordPress form, showing live distributor results instead of a fixed list.

For your technical person
Built in JavaScript and PHP, packaged as a WordPress plugin. Integrates with the FormStack API: the plugin POSTs additional fields to FormStack based on the visitor’s search, and reads back only the matching records to display. Delivered with development, QA and support. 2022.
