[NEW] Stripe Subscription Trials in WPForms – Win Customers Over Before the First Payment!

Typing a card number into a subscription form takes about ten seconds, but agreeing to be charged right away takes much longer.

For a monthly membership, a class pass, or a retainer, paying on day one is a lot to ask of someone who has never tried what you offer.

So many decide to think about it, but probably never come back…

A free trial is how subscription businesses get past that moment, and offering one has usually meant a membership plugin or a separate subscription platform.

But now your form can make that offer itself, in one line under the card field: “You won’t be charged today.”

Secret Santa Questionnaire: The Questions to Ask (Free Printable + Online Form Template)

You’ve drawn a name for this year’s Secret Santa, and it belongs to the coworker you mostly know by their coffee mug. Now you have a budget and a deadline, but no real idea what they’d like.

A short Secret Santa questionnaire fixes that before anyone heads to the store. Everyone answers a few questions about what they love and what they’d rather not get, so the person who drew their name shops with real answers.

Below you’ll find 50 questions sorted by who’s playing, plus a free printable PDF and an online version you can build in WPForms. The same gift exchange questionnaire works for an office, a classroom, or the whole family.

How to Edit a Form Entry After It’s Been Submitted in WordPress

A misspelled email address or an appointment that moved after a phone call doesn’t mean anyone has to fill out your form again. You can fix a submitted entry right inside WordPress in about a minute.

This guide walks through editing entries in WPForms step by step, including which fields stay locked and why. We’ll also cover what to do after you edit, from resending notifications to updating the apps your form already sent that entry to.

Do You Need a Separate Form Analytics Tool?

You’ve got a form that isn’t converting as well as you’d like, and you can’t tell which part of it is losing people. That’s usually the moment someone starts looking at form analytics tools.

The good news is that if you’re already using WPForms, you don’t need a separate form analytics tool, as the plugin offers native analytics all the way down to field-level insights!

In this post I’ll cover what built-in form reports already track, where a dedicated tool may still earn its place, and how both compare to wiring up form tracking in Google Analytics.

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

Hero banner announcing the WPForms Weekly Email Summary with a mascot circle on the left and a white analytics card on the right, on a dark blue background.

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.

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.

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!

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.
