User Front End Post Submissions
Want to let your visitors share a post submission without needing access to the WordPress dashboard? With Forminator visitors can submit post ideas from the front end of your site so you can easily curate and publish their thoughts. Assign post to a default author, save to draft, publish immediately, etc.

Custom Login and Registration Forms
Create and embed custom login and registration forms for your sites (or multisites!). Take L&R forms to the next level: choose from a range of form fields, and customize settings, style, and behavior.
Multi-file Upload Field
Along with enabling single file uploads, Forminator takes things up a notch by allowing users to upload multiple files. You can also choose to set specific file types, limit the number of files that can be uploaded, as well as the individual file size. The upload field’s drag and drop interface also makes it a breeze for users to upload files.
Group And Repeat Form Fields
The Field Group feature allows you to group any number of fields together in one form. You can also enable users to add as many additional field groups as needed when filling out your form. Great for repeatable data entry such as employment history, event attendees, lists, etc.
Advanced Date Field Restrictions
Perfect for appointment and hotel bookings – Forminator’s Date Picker Limits feature allows you to restrict the available dates shown on your date field calendar. For example, you might show future dates only, a selected number of dates from today, dates between a specific date range, specific days of the week, and more!
Add An E-Signature Form Field (Pro Only)*
Have an online application that requires a signature, or a contract you need your customers to sign? Forminator’s E-signature feature allows visitors to use their mouse, trackpad, or finger (on touch devices) to leave a signature upon submitting the form. Just insert the “E-Signature” field and voila!
Receive Subscriptions and Recurring Payments on Stripe (Pro Only)*
Create fully-customized subscription forms with Forminator Pro’s Stripe Subscription add-on. Allow your customers to choose plans/pricing, billing cycle, custom upsells, a free trial option, and of course, make secure card payments.

FAQ
Why choose Forminator over WPForms?
Forminator offers more features and functionalities compared to WPForms, especially in its free version. While WPForms Lite has limited access to essential tools, Forminator offers over 20 form fields, conditional logic, and comprehensive spam protection.
Additionally, Forminator provides payment integrations with both Stripe and Paypal, whereas WPForms Lite only integrates with Stripe. Forminator also supports a wider range of integrations, as well as quizzing and polling tools, advanced customization and styling options, and robust submission management. These features are available only in the pro version of WPForms.
Does Forminator include a Gutenberg block?
It sure does. Forminator is built to work in both the Gutenberg and ClassicPress editors.
Is Forminator GDPR Ready?
Forminator makes it easy for you to comply with the GDPR and other local privacy regulations…all the tools are included but ultimately it is up to you to implement healthy privacy and data protection on your site. Do the right thing y’all.
Can I accept payments with Forminator?
Yes! Forminator includes free integrations with Stripe and PayPal. Stripe’s Dynamic Payment Element supports 40+ options—including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, and Klarna.
Are Forminator payment options SCA compliant?
