WPForms

Did you know you can accept PayPal payments with WPForms Lite? Accepting payments on WordPress often gets treated like an exclusive feature, but it isn't. PayPal is available on every WPForms plan, Lite included. Taking donations for a nonprofit, selling a digital download, charging for a service? You can get it working today without upgrading anything. Here's a quick walk-through showing how to set it up, from connecting your PayPal account to customizing the form before it goes live. What would you sell today if setup took only 5 minutes? #WordPress #WPForms #PayPal #SmallBusiness

We just gave Surveys and Polls a major refresh — and the part that changed most is the part you spend time in AFTER your survey goes live. Of all the ways people use WPForms, surveys might be the one closest to our team's heart. It answers the question every business eventually runs into: what do our customers actually think? But asking the question is only half the work. The other half is everything that happens once responses start coming in. And that's where this update lives. The admin experience has been completely redesigned and modernized. You can filter responses by date range (last 7, 30, 90 days, or custom), customize every chart — style, color, size, format — and export any question's results as JPG, PDF, or print-ready. The whole workflow feels less like reading a spreadsheet and more like actually understanding your audience. Full breakdown on the blog, the link is in the comments! What's the last survey result that genuinely surprised you? #WPForms #Surveys #WordPress #CustomerFeedback #SmallBusiness

Nothing makes a form feel longer than questions that obviously don't apply to you. "Do you have kids?" → "No." → followed by four more questions about your kids. Swipe through to discover the fix. It takes about 30 seconds, and most people never set it up. When's the last time you filled out a form that clearly wasn't using any logic? (I swear it's always a doctor's office.) #WPForms #WordPress #FormDesign #ConversionOptimization

A "rate your experience 1 to 10" text field is asking too much of the person filling it out. They have to read the question, translate their feeling into a number, decide if an 8 or a 9 feels more honest, and then type it in. Every extra step is a chance to skip… and most people take it. Switch that text box for a Rating field — five stars, ten stars, smileys, hearts, whatever fits — and response rates climb noticeably. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See, isn't this much better? 😊😊😊😊😊 Visual input is less work on the brain, the tap feels instinctive, and the data on your end is still structured and easy to sort. It's one of those features you don't think about until you look at your response data and realize half your customer satisfaction field is empty. What's a small form tweak that turned out to make a bigger difference than you expected? #WPForms #WordPress #CustomerFeedback

There's a specific kind of panic that hits when you open a form builder for the first time. The blank canvas stares back. You start second-guessing every field — is this one required? Should I split this into two? Do I actually need a phone number, or can I just trust the email address? Ten minutes in, you've built three fields, deleted two, and you're Googling "standard contact form fields." WPForms ships with 2,100+ pre-built templates for this exact moment. Contact, registrations, applications, feedback, booking requests, donations, event signups — someone has already thought through the fields, the validation, the logic, the confirmation email. You open a template, change the parts specific to your business, and you're live. It's the difference between starting from scratch and starting from 80% done. And if you can’t find a template for your needs, just ask and our AI will build it for you. What form have you been putting off that you'd build today if it was already mostly there? #WPForms #WordPress #FormBuilder #SmallBusiness

Quick PSA for agencies and freelancers 👇 If you've got clients on WordPress.com, you can now install WPForms on their paid plans — the same form builder agencies use to run lead gen, payments, surveys, and client intake on self-hosted sites. A lot of folks still assume the platform is locked down to built-in features only. That changed with plugin support on paid tiers, which means the full WPForms experience works there just like on self-hosted WordPress. If you've been steering clients toward self-hosted just to use a real form builder, you've got more flexibility now. Anyone here building on the hosted platform lately? Curious how the plugin experience has held up. #WPForms #WordPress #FormBuilder

Here's a stat that stings: 60–80% of users who start filling out a form never hit submit. That's not just lost data… It's lost leads, lost revenue, lost conversations you never got to have. WPForms' Form Abandonment addon captures partial entries even when someone walks away. If they typed their email before leaving, you've got it. You can set up automatic notifications so your team follows up while the lead is still warm. The data shows that retargeting within the first hour converts over 20% of abandoned users. After 24 hours, it drops to 12%. Most form builders just lose that data. WPForms saves it. Are you tracking form abandonment on your site, or is it a blind spot? #WPForms #WordPress #LeadGeneration 

Contact Form 7 just announced a feature freeze at WordCamp Asia. For context: CF7 is one of the most-installed WordPress plugins in the world. Not necessarily because everyone chose it, but because it ships pre-installed with a huge number of WordPress themes. Lots of sites are running it on autopilot. With no new features coming, those forms are going to stay exactly as they are… At WPForms, we built a one-click CF7 importer — it brings over your existing forms, notification emails, and confirmation settings automatically. No rebuilding from scratch or experiencing downtime. And once you're on WPForms, you get a real drag-and-drop builder, payment processing with Stripe and PayPal, entry storage in your dashboard, and over 2,100 templates to work with. Tens of thousands of sites have already made the switch. If your site is still running CF7 by default, now's a really good time to take five minutes and upgrade your forms. Check out the full comparison + how to switch, linked in the comments! #WordPress #WPForms #ContactForm7

A longtime WPForms user put it perfectly — it just fits right into their WordPress setup like it was always supposed to be there. HubSpot. Mailchimp. All the data they need, without dragging their users through form after form. And when they have questions? Our support team actually shows up. "Can't say enough good things." Honestly, that's what I love to hear. Watch their story.

You can tell when someone abandons your form… Now you can tell why. We just shipped an update to the User Journey addon, and the headline feature is abandoned entry support. Built directly from customer feedback! When someone starts a form and leaves without submitting, you can now see the path they took through your site before that moment: where they first landed, what they browsed, and where things fell off. Instead of a gap in your submissions, you get context. And context is what turns a frustrating data point into a clear next step. This release also includes a redesigned email notification table: cleaner layout, colors that match your template, dark mode support, and responsive mobile stacking. What's a form insight that's surprised you? We're always curious about what patterns people are finding in their data. #WPForms #WordPress #FormAbandonment #ConversionOptimization #WordPressForms
