At present, there are 3 ways of constructing AMP varieties in Stripo:

That is most likely the best method.
Manner 2. Embedding amp-components from Google AMP dev

Fallback 3. Offering a hyperlink to an exterior supply
If you’re going to ask customers just a few questions, as a fallback you may wish to ask them to take a multi-question survey.
You construct a type both in your web site, or by utilizing Google Kinds.
