Forminator 1.12.1.1 is now available, and it now offers features for calculations and payments. A new milestone has been reached, for what you can expect from a WordPress Plugin free form builder. Can you name a lead-generating, money-generating, revenue-generating website that has no way of capturing information…you can't!

Forms are as essential to WordPress as water to a fish. However, licensing a usable form builder, with a sensible UI that looks absolutely awesome in any WordPress theme, it's expensive.

Forminator is changing while being the first completely free premium WordPress form plugin. Since its version 1.0 with the basic elements of the forms, it has received over 1000 third-party integrations and a sophisticated poll and quiz generator.

And it is now available free on WordPress.org.

To make it a suitable substitute for your premium form builder, you need some advanced calculations and a way to support payments. Today, Forminator is living up to its expectations.

Before taking a look at the new features, install Forminator on your website to be able to follow it 🙂 download it from WordPress.org or install Forminator Pro with 24/24 support and access the full suite of performance, optimization, security tools, marketing, hosting and website management for 7 days.

Forminator the super calculator!

Is it really that impressive?

Yes. Yes it is. Calculations open up a whole new world of form building. Gather information, generate leads, take orders and engage visitors… Forminator is a magnet. There are literally thousands of combinations but here are some ideas:

  • A registration form with upgrade packages and unique prices
  • Sell ​​a T-shirt with variations in size, color, price and tax
  • Adding a BMI and / or Calorie Calculator to Your Health & Wellness Blog
  • Integrating a loan calculator into your finance website
  • Displaying a Due Date Calculator for Your Midwife Client
  • Support for an interactive quote or service estimate
  • Sharing a return on investment calculator on your agency's website
  • And so on…

Let's see how it works. Devman wants to sell graphic t-shirts to his fans, so let's build his order form.

My forminator

Set up your new form and name it.

Using selectors, we'll add variations in color, style, size and quantity. The larger sizes received a markup from our distributor, but with Forminator we were able to easily recalculate and adjust the price based on size and quantity.

And of course, Devman's local government wants a share of the sales. Using another calculator, we can calculate the additional percentage of taxes.

Set additional charges such as taxes or shipping charges. You can also include an additional sale for shipping, but Devman will just deliver them himself.

If math isn't your strong suit, Forminator will be a big help. Forminator gives visual queues for what is totaled.

Once the calculations are done, we will enter the name, e-mail address and phone number so we can deliver the t-shirt and add it to Devman's contact list.
