Fluent Forms is a WordPress plugin that lets you build forms for your website without needing to code, adding them to pages or posts with a block or shortcode. You can create anything from contact forms to surveys or payment forms using a drag-and-drop editor, pulling in fields like text boxes or file uploads from a list of over 60 options. It works with tools you might already use—like Elementor, Gutenberg, or FluentCRM—and keeps your site fast by only loading what’s needed, all managed from your WordPress dashboard.
The free version gives you plenty to start with, including pre-built templates and conditional logic to show or hide fields based on user input. The Pro version adds more, like connecting to payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), generating PDFs from submissions, or syncing with apps like Slack or Google Sheets. You can see form entries and basic stats in your dashboard, and it stays within WordPress, so your data doesn’t rely on outside platforms.
It’s useful for sites needing forms that do more—like collecting leads, taking payments, or running quizzes—without slowing things down. You can export forms or entries to use elsewhere, and it grows with your site, whether you’re a blogger, store owner, or agency. Fluent Forms keeps form-building simple and flexible, letting you focus on what you want to collect instead of how to set it up.
