Fluent Forms Review

for me when it comes to software or gear the most important thing is ease-of-use last week I came across a form builder plug-in that just blew me away this plug-in is amazing it has features like drag-and-drop so if you're familiar with say Divi or any other page builders it has drag-and-drop it has pre-built of form templates which means you don't have to scratch your head and try to come up with the layout or the elements that you need for your forms it is 100% responsive which means it can be used on desktops mobile devices and you know iPads it also has integrations now this is what got me really exciting because when you're able to connect your form where tools like PayPal stripe your email mailing lists and so on this makes this form even more powerful let me show you what you can do with this form but before I do that if you are interested in this form I've left a link in the video description below so you can buy it from there all right now let's take a look at what you can do now over here is all just playing around with this form and this is what I came up with really really fast so I just created this page for you know summer swimming lessons so this could be maybe a project that you may be working on as a freelance designer and you're asked to just create a quick payment for a swimming lessons or tennis lessons or even consulting sessions or whatever it is now in some cases you would need to have WooCommerce but in this case as you shall see very very easy to set up so if I scroll down here you can see I've just added these fields first name last name payment item and then the payment method PayPal or stripe and then once you click on that it takes you to PayPal or stripe payment is made you are redirected to a specific page you get an email notification job done and this is just using this plugin now let's take a look at what makes up this plugin so when you first install it in fact installing it is very very easy all you have to do is to come over here to plugins and then click on add new the plug-in is called fluent forms so I'm just going to start in here fluent and the very first entry that comes here is the actual form plug-in so as you can see here it is mine is activated I've gone ahead and activated it now when you use this it's actually usable from the free version but it lacks a lot of features like for example the integrations that I've just mentioned they are missing and also that form templates thereof they're all missing so to be honest it trust me on this one if you're going to be using this plug-in you just want to go all-in and buy the paid version now before I show you how it looks how it works let's head over here to the pricing so for a single license its $59 and for five site license it's 99 and then unlimited is $1.99 so here's the deal if you have a single website and you'd like to add the all these features to your single website then obviously going with this one is ideal but of course if you have quite a few websites you're running like in my case I have my own website I also have a plan to design something on my wife's website so I would go with this five site license but over here for unlimited size this is for like a design agency or if you're freelance designer okay so enough with the pricing as you can see it's very affordable considering that the features that you get with this are amazing alright so back over here now let's take a look at what it looks like so when you install it so when you install it you get this entry here fluent forms so in my case like I said I have Pro so this is the entry that you get so when you click here this is where you get all your forms and adding a form onto your page is very simple all you have to do is to copy this shortcode and then you can just paste it in your page builder just like that okay now over here this is where you click to add a brand new form and these are the templates that you can use and these are the ones that come in free with the plugin so to be honest is usable you can use basic contact form now when we come over here to the bottom this is where your things start getting exciting so this is where you start to see all your templates so online service order form online order form and so on education you also have here the student survey form now let me just show you what it looks like if I click here on this one of course there's a lot to choose from I'm still a click here so you can see what it comes what he comes in with so as you can see here you have all these fields free added on for you if I scroll down here you can see it also has a page break quite a lot of information now we can also do a preview and this is the preview of the design so if you want to do it preview only this is what the form looks like if you click Next it takes you to the next part of the form if you click Next in fact I can't go next because I have to fill in these these spaces okay but as you can see it is a pretty straightforward to use now let's go ahead and create a brand new form so I can show you all the features and how to use this plugin so back over here I'm gonna click here on blank form so these are all the elements that you need so on the side here you have your general field and then you also have your advanced fields so on your general fields you can just click here and then all your fields are added over to the right side where we have all the design elements okay so we can add a dress we can add let's say time and date and file upload okay simple as that now if you want to go in and further tweak this if you mouse over this area here you see this pencil icon if you click on it now you have options to work on other items that you may need to work on here so let's say for example you don't want the last day you can just click that and now it's gone if you come over here on the Advanced Options this is where you can do all your CSS stuff but to be honest you know me I don't know CSS I'm pretty happy with you know what comes out of the page builder itself okay so here you can go into input customization as I mentioned and you can set up your middle name there if you want last name so you can make this as advanced as you want now let's move on to the next item so email if I click on this pencil icon I can go in here I can also add my placeholder information here so I can say enter your email so you can see here it's being updated over here on the form on the right and this can be my admin label and over here as well I have my label which I can go in and get rid off altogether and over here if I need to set this as a required field I can you say yes and now this has become a required field what I can also do here is I can also hide the label itself so you can see here if I say default it shows your email but if I want to hide it I can hide it just to simplify my form a bit more and this can be found even here on the name as well I can hide the label and over here on the dates and time same thing I can hide the label as well but as you can see it's very easy you can go in add your placeholder here so I can say choose date or pick a date there we go and I can hide the label and over here on the date format we have all the different types of formats because I know in America there's a different format as it is here in the UK so you can choose the one that works for you so as you can see here it is very very straightforward to set up on the submit form here you can click here on this pencil icon and also you can choose your size you can make it large medium or whatever it is but over here I'm happy with the medium on the advanced you also can add a help message now I really like this because if you say click here to submit but of course most people know how to I mean what that is now this help will add a tool tip now let me show you what that is so I'm gonna save this form here and then I'm gonna click on preview so this is what the page looks like so far if I click here on choose file this will go into my file manager and I can choose the file to upload and I also forgot to show you one thing on the file upload here if I click on this pencil icon I can specify what files I need uploaded here so let's say I just need a video uploaded here I can choose video I can choose images I can use audio and also CSV files so this is very very powerful and I can also set up my size here so let's say I maximum size needs to be 2 Meg I can you set it to 2 and I can also make this field required if I need to just by adding it like that ok now let's head over here to our input fields if I click here on custom HTML I can add and embed my custom HTML content in there I can even add a video if I need you to this form I can also add a mobile phone if I need to here if I click on this pencil icon you can I can also add the values so let's say I need these to be lets say UK I can start by adding +4 4 and then leave it like that so when someone comes to this form they will know that these are the first two or first three characters they need and then they can just add the remainder and this is very very very cool ok so moving on let's come over here to our input fields now there's also other things that we can add like radio fields so I can add my yes or no fields here if I need to and this could be like a questionnaire I can also add multiple choice so you can click here on this drop-down and choose the multiple choice options so I can say for example how many cars do I have a case option one could be one option two could be three and if I need to add more I can just click on this little plus button and add all items so as you can see here this is very very easy to use I can show the values here as well and I can also calculate now this is a bit more advanced but of course you want to keep it simple this is what you do and that is how you add your multi-select so if I click on preview design so you can have your pick of dates you can see how really nice it looks so there's your date in fact I should have saved this for this part to show so now I'm just going to refresh this so we can see the radio fields so I can say yes for example here on the field and you can see here it has a nice little flag to show me the country and you can choose the country here as well let's say you want to change it to America you can just add it by just clicking on this drop-down so it's really really cool now on the multi select here if you click on the drop-down you can choose all your answers or the mouse to select like that okay but of course you want to add the title there on the top but as you can see it's very very easy to use and it is really really really cool okay so moving on on the advanced field here this is where you can add your gdpr agreement and this is where it just says I can send to having this website store my submitted information so that they can respond to my inquiry so that's your gdpr so again it has that in place for you we can also add a color picker you can also add form steps and you can also have a custom submit button so you can go in here and further customize this button by coming over here you can change your colors you change your background color and you can change the width so if you wanted to be 50 percent you can just customize it like that it also has harvest dates so that means you can also add your hover States over here and change your background color for the hover state if you need to and then on the bottom here you also have your button size so you have medium small medium large which is great okay so moving on the payment fields so this is where you can get to you get to add your payment methods so let's say you want to add your payment method here I've added PayPal and stripe now this has to be added on initially for this to show you can also add your payment fields so let's say your item here is let's say it's going to cost say $99 this is where you'd add your price 99 and it's as simple as that okay so now that I've shown you how you can go in and customize all this in fact you can also have a different pricing plan here you can have different options so you can have the first maybe $99 the second option could be let's say 129 and so on so this is I mean this can be customized over here now let's say you want to delete some of these fields all you have to do is to hover over it click on delete and that deletes the items so as you can see here I'm going in and I am deleting them so let's say now it's time to save I can just save this and if I need to add this form on a page I can just click here and this will copy this to clipboard so let's say I want to fact let me save this first and show you for the options so back over here now to our form I'm just going to cancel this so over here on the forms I can take a look here at all the entries I can choose the form that I want to take the entries off and this will show me everyone that has added their name and email on that form so it's really great I can export these for I mean these names as well add them on to my excel spreadsheet and over here on the payments this is where you can see what spending what has been paid so this is great as well over here on the settings this is where you'd come in and set up your payment settings so here you have strike so on the bottom here you can see I've added my secret key and my publishable pre over here on PayPal all you have to do is to add your paypal email address and then you can enable your IP and verification and this can be found in paper over here on the modules this is where you have all your integrations so you can integrate this with MailChimp activecampaign get response Trello drib convertkit and so on so as you can see this is really really really powerful and over here is where you need to add your pro license okay now moving on over here on the tools this is where you can import the forms so let's say you want to export the form you can export it by choosing it here export it and then you can export all your data if you want to import this is where you would click and import all your data into your form now it also has some documentation so you can come over here to your documentation and read more about stuff that you may not understand but as you can see this form is really really powerful now the use cases for this form are let's say you want to create single payment items you can use this form absolute very very easy to use you can use this form plug-in to create let's say booking booking websites you can use this for like dentist appointments stuff like that it's very very easy to set up as you can see it's drag-and-drop it says preap pre-built templates which you can use as your starting point and then you can delete all the stuff that you don't need on that form it is 100% responsive which means you can use this on any type of websites it has conditional logic as well I know I haven't touched on that but the conditional logic is amazing because you can choose options to appear if they meet a certain condition and also the integrations you can use this with so many others third-party services which makes this fool very very usable so I highly recommend this form plug-in he's called fluent forms the link to that is in the description below go ahead check it out I am going to be creating quite a lot of tutorials with different use cases for this plug-in all
