Gravity Forms has been around since 2008. It offers sophisticated integrations and solutions for capturing data through your website. We often incorporate the pro version of this software into our WordPress web design. Gravity Forms is a mature, proven product that is well-supported.
Gravity Forms has many advanced features. It can create complex forms with conditional logic, math equations, and file uploads. The pro license allows us access to a suite of purpose-built add-ons that can further add high-level features to your website.
Using Forms to Sell Products Online
If you don’t require full cart functionality on your website (ie you only sell a few products individually) then using Gravity forms with a Stripe integration is a great solution. Gravity integrates with other payment gateways and is PCI Compliant.
A wealth of form functionality
Some other great functionality that Gravity Forms gives us access to when designing our websites is:
- Paginated Forms – Splitting long, complex forms over several screens to create a better user experience
- Conditional Logic – Display or hide fields, and even entire sections, all based on user selections
- Accessible and compliant – Gravity Forms are WCAG 2.0 AA compliant so you won’t leave anyone behind
- Custom CSS and functions allow Webtree to manipulate the forms in almost any way you can imagine
- User-submitted content – Allow users to submit draft content for approval to publish to the front-end of the website
- Data Routing – Route notification emails to different email addresses based on user selections
- Convert submitted forms to PDF documents
- Generate a QR code based on the values the user enters into the fields OR populate the fields with values from scanning a QR code
- Allow e-signing on your forms – allows you to generate legally binding contracts using Gravity Forms.
Integrate your data
There are many ways to efficiently collect data via your website and automatically submit it into your systems to increase efficiency.
- Integrate with your CRM – Submit data straight into your CRM or database, saving you data-entry time and allowing for custom workflows. Integrations include Zoho, Hubspot, Airtable, AgileCRM, Breeze, and Capsule. Webtree can also develop other integrations based on webhooks and custom APIs
- Integrate with your EDM including Aweber, Vision6, Campaign Monitor, MailChimp, Constant Contact, and others.
In conclusion, Gravity Forms is a powerful tool that can be utilised when creating advanced websites. It’s infinitely customisable and has great support.
