ChargeForms

ChargeForms is a fast, free drag-and-drop form builder for WordPress — contact forms, surveys, multi-step forms, and payment forms, without page reloads or a bloated front-end bundle slowing your site down.

Every feature in this plugin — conditional logic, payments, SMTP email delivery, CSV import, every field type — is included free, with no paid license required and no feature locked behind a paywall. ChargeForms.com | Documentation

Drag-and-Drop Form Builder

• 30+ field types out of the box — text, address, ratings, file upload, payment fields, and more
• Conditional logic with nested AND/OR/NOT groups — show or hide fields based on other answers
• Multi-step forms with a progress bar and per-step validation
• All bundled form templates, Save & Resume, and CSV entry import
• Lightweight front-end rendering — visitors never load an admin-sized JS bundle

Accept Payments

• Stripe and PayPal, including Stripe recurring subscriptions (monthly/yearly plans, free trials, cancellation)
• Payment Item, Custom Amount, Payment Method, and Payment Summary fields
• No platform fee on top of your payment processor’s own rate

Entry Management

• A full entries dashboard in wp-admin — view, edit, filter, export, and manage every submission
• Email notifications on every submission, with delivery logging and automatic retry

Email Delivery (Native SMTP)

• Connect Gmail, Microsoft 365, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo, Postmark, Zoho, or any custom SMTP server
• Encrypted credentials, multiple SMTP connections, real test-email sending, and a full delivery log

Integrations

• Mailchimp, Brevo, ActiveCampaign, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Notion, HubSpot, Google Sheets

Spam & Security
