Building forms, routing submissions and collecting posts
Forminator combines a drag-and-drop form builder with tools to route submissions and collect content from visitors.
Preset templates and conditional logic can shape forms around different responses, while query strings can prefill visitor information. Email routing, autoresponders and a Gutenberg block support follow-up and publishing workflows; front-end post submissions let visitors send ideas without dashboard access. CAPTCHA integrations, honeypot fields and customizable email filters help reduce spam, making this a fit for sites that need more than a basic contact form.
Accepting payments with Stripe and PayPal
The included Stripe and PayPal integrations support fixed and variable payments without requiring Pro.
- Payment options: Accept payments, donations or other charges through Stripe or PayPal, with SCA-compliant integrations.
- Stripe methods: Use Stripe’s Dynamic Payment Element to offer more than 40 payment methods and manage which ones visitors can select.
- Pro distinction: Stripe subscription forms are a Pro feature, so recurring payment workflows require an upgrade.
Using polls, quizzes and calculations to engage visitors
Forminator extends beyond forms with interactive content and calculation tools.
- Polls: Show real-time results, including live charts, to gather opinions and encourage participation.
- Quizzes: Create knowledge quizzes or no-wrong-answer formats; lead forms within quizzes can collect participant details, which suits sites using quizzes for lead generation.
- Calculations: Build tools for quotes, service estimates, calculators, orders or registration packages with payment options.
Connecting forms to other services
Forminator offers direct integrations and developer tools for moving submissions into other workflows.
- Email and CRM: Connect HubSpot, Campaign Monitor, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp or AWeber to support marketing and contact-management workflows.
- Storage and project management: Send information to Google Sheets, Trello or Slack, useful for teams that track submissions outside WordPress.
- Webhooks: Connect through services including Zapier, Make and n8n to build broader automations.
- Custom development: Use the developer API, hooks and filters to create integrations or extensions for specific workflows.
A broad free feature set backed by ongoing support
Forminator’s free offering covers a wide range of form and engagement needs, while Pro adds specialized capabilities.
Contact forms, polls, quizzes, calculations and fixed or variable Stripe and PayPal payments give small businesses and content sites a substantial starting toolkit. Pro adds Stripe subscription forms, dynamic PDF generation, geolocation and autocomplete, so those needs may determine whether the free feature set is enough. Widely installed adoption and an excellent rating with many reviews point to established use; the plugin was updated within the last week. Support resolved 82% of 68 threads, suggesting active support, though that rate does not establish how quickly unresolved threads are handled.
