Meet the New WPForms Ranking Field – Find Out What Your Audience Wants Most!

Here’s an uncomfortable truth about survey forms.

You ask your audience to rate five ideas from 1 to 5. You collect hundreds of responses. You sit down to analyze the data and… everything scores between 3.8 and 4.2.

Now what?

You still don’t know which idea to work on next. You still can’t figure out what your customers actually care about most.

Rating questions let people sit on the fence, and when everything can score a 4, you’re leaving real insights on the table.

What you need is a question where something has to win.

That’s why today, I’m excited to announce something that will completely change how you collect preference data.

Introducing the WPForms Mercado Pago Addon: Card Payments Built for Latin America

Did you know that 83 million people use Mercado Pago every month?

Mercado Pago has become a familiar part of how millions of people across Latin America buy, book, and pay online.

So when one of them reaches your payment form, can they pay the way they always do?

Starting today, yes they can!

How to Stop People From Submitting Your WordPress Form More Than Once

You open your WPForms entries and two rows look identical, same name and email address, submitted 40 seconds apart. Now you have to work out which one counts.

That second entry might be a browser resending the submission, or someone entering your giveaway twice on purpose. Each cause has a different fix, so it helps to know which one you’re dealing with.

How to Connect WordPress Forms to Make.com

Make is a visual automation platform that connects thousands of apps, and WPForms includes a native addon for it. Once the two are linked, every form submission can kick off a chain of actions on its own: a new spreadsheet row, a CRM contact, a ping to your team in Slack.

In this tutorial, you’ll connect a WordPress form to Make.com and build your first automated workflow.

How to Send WordPress Form Entries to a Slack Channel

When someone submits a form on your site, the entry usually lands in an email inbox or your WordPress dashboard. If nobody checks either one for a few hours, a warm lead cools off fast.

Start Your Stripe Subscriptions With a Trial Period

Left-aligned hero text: “Add a Trial Period to Stripe Subscriptions in WPForms,” with a bear avatar and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge on dark blue background.

A Stripe subscription sold through WPForms can now begin with a trial period: the subscriber signs up today, and their first payment waits until the trial is over.

The card is collected and checked at signup, held by Stripe, and charged automatically on the day the trial ends.

The length is a number of days, weeks, months, or years, chosen in the form builder’s Payments tab for each Stripe subscription you sell.

Each trial shows up in WPForms » Payments with a Trialing status until that first payment lands.

Weekly Email Summary

The weekly summary WPForms emails you now opens with stat tiles for entries, views, and spam, each marked with how it moved against the previous week.

Beneath them, a table gives every form its own line, and when the data earns it the headline changes to call out a best week, a milestone, or a form that has gone quiet.

A single button takes you from the email back into WPForms, so the thing worth checking is one click away.

Integration New Feature Payments

Paystack Addon

Introducing the WPForms Paystack Addon: Accept Payments in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya

The Paystack addon brings card, bank transfer, and mobile money payments to your forms for buyers in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya.

Buyers click submit and pay in the Paystack popup in naira, cedis, rand, or Kenyan shillings, with no new field to add to your form.

Bank transfer and mobile money payments are saved as Pending, and WPForms can hold your notification emails until Paystack confirms the payment, then completes the order on its own.

Every Paystack payment shows up in WPForms » Payments, and full refunds can be issued without leaving WordPress.

New Feature

WPForms Dashboard

Dark blue hero with a circular bear logo on the left, large headline 'Introducing the New WPForms Dashboard' and an ANNOUNCEMENT badge; a dashboard mockup is visible on the right.

The WPForms Dashboard is a new home screen that opens the moment you click WPForms in your admin menu. Stat cards across the top total up your forms, entries, payments, views, and spam across the whole site.

An Entries widget charts activity over your chosen date range with a per-form table of entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate, and a payments widget totals everything collected once a gateway is connected.

With the Geolocation addon active, Top Locations ranks the countries your visitors come from, and a Suggested Next Steps panel points to features worth turning on.

Nothing to install, as it comes with every plan, including Lite!

New Feature

WPForms QR Code

Announcement banner: dark blue background with headline 'Say Hello to WPForms QR Code: One Scan Opens Your Form' and a large QR code on the right.

Every form now has its own built-in QR code generator, with nothing extra to install or buy.

Open a form’s General settings, choose the page the form lives on or paste its URL, and click Generate QR Code to copy it or download it as a PNG or a print-ready SVG.

Put it on menus, packaging, event badges, or business cards, and every scan opens your form instead of a page that only hands people something to read.

Included with every plan, including Lite; Pro and Elite plans can keep, remove, or replace the WPForms logo in the center with their own.
