258	### Drag-and-Drop WordPress Form Builder
259
260	Bit Form includes an intuitive drag-and-drop form builder. You can add fields, arrange layouts, customize labels, set placeholders, configure validation, apply conditional logic, style your form, and publish it on your WordPress site.
261
262
263	### Fast and Lightweight Form Builder
264
265	Bit Form is designed to work as a fast form builder for WordPress.
266
267	For simple contact forms, Bit Form loads only 20KB JS & CSS. The exact load depends on the fields and settings you use, but the plugin is built to keep form performance clean and lightweight.
268
269	Bit Form still handles advanced forms in a well-optimized way. It gives you both: simple form creation for beginners and advanced form control for power users.
270
271	### Form Settings for Better Control
272
273	Bit Form gives you detailed form settings so you can control how your forms behave. Available form settings include:
274	- Allow single entry for each IP address
275	- Require users to be logged in before form submission
276	- Prevent empty form submission
277	- Validate form input when the field loses focus
278	- Disable entry storing in the WordPress database
279	- Enable reCAPTCHA v3
280	- Enable honeypot spam protection
281	- Disable a form after a limited number of entries
282	- Limit form submission by date and time period
283	- Block or allow selected IP addresses
284	- Capture Google Ads Click ID or GCLID
285
286
287	[youtube https://youtu.be/yCEUoJ8KtNY]
288
289
290	### Conditional Logic and Dynamic Forms
291
292	Bit Form includes advanced conditional logic so your form can respond to user input.
293
294	You can show or hide fields, enable or disable fields, change values, make fields read-only or writable, update labels, update helper text, and control form behavior based on user choices.
295
296	Bit Form supports many condition operators. You can also organize advanced logic using AND and OR rules, groups, nested conditions, Else If branches, and Else branches.
297
298	This makes Bit Form useful for quote forms, calculator forms, booking forms, payment forms, order forms, support forms, and advanced lead generation forms, where every user should not see the same fields.
299
300
301	### Email Notifications and Email Templates
302
303	Bit Form lets you send email notifications after form submission. You can create custom email templates, add smart tags, insert form field values, map all fields into the email body, and send different messages based on form data.
304
305	Bit Form Pro also supports advanced email notifications with PDF attachments, giving you more control over documents, receipts, confirmations, and internal records.
306
307	### Built-in Style Editor
308
309	Bit Form includes a [built-in style editor](https://bit-form.com/feature/custom-style-editor/) so you can customize your form design easily. You can adjust form layout, background, spacing, field style, colors, typography, buttons, and other visual elements to match your WordPress site.
310
311	The free version includes essential form styling, while Bit Form Pro adds deeper control with individual field styling.
312
313	### Payment Forms With PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay and Mollie
314
315	Bit Form Pro lets you create payment forms using PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and Mollie.
316
317	You can build a payment form, order form, booking form, donation form, service request form, event registration form, or custom checkout-style form.
318
319	By using payment fields, you can collect payments through a form easily. You can combine payment fields with contact fields, file upload fields, conditional logic, email notifications, and form integrations.
320
321
322
323	### Multistep Forms and Conversational Forms
324
325	Long forms can feel hard to complete when everything appears on one screen. Bit Form supports multistep forms, so you can divide longer forms into smaller sections.
326
327	Bit Form also supports conversational forms. A conversational form shows questions in a step-by-step flow, which can work well for lead generation, feedback, applications, and guided form experiences.
328
329
330	### Entry Management, Data Views, and Reports
331
332	Bit Form stores form submissions inside the dashboard.
333
334	You can review form entries, manage submitted data, filter responses, and use entry-related features for internal workflows.
335
336	With Bit Form Pro, Data Views & Edit lets you control which users can view or edit entries from the front end. You can allow users to view their own entries, allow selected roles to view others’ entries, and create front-end data views for submitted form data.
337
338
339	### Landing Forms and Direct Form Sharing
340
341	Bit Form Pro supports landing forms and standalone form pages. You can create a form page with its own direct URL and share it without embedding the form on a normal WordPress page.
342
343	You can also share conversational form links or embed forms using HTML embed code.
344
345
346	### PDF Templates and Attachments
347
348	Bit Form Pro supports PDF templates. You can generate PDF files from submitted form data and use them for records, receipts, invoices, contracts, applications, and internal documents.
349
350	PDF template options include:
351
352	* Custom PDF template body
353	* Form field smart tags
354	* Map all fields
355	* Custom PDF file name
356	* PDF password
357	* Download link control
358	* Paper size
359	* Orientation
360	* Font family
361	* Font size
362	* Watermark
363	* Language direction
364
365	PDF support is useful for booking forms, order forms, payment forms, application forms, contract forms, and official form records.
366
367	### Spam Protection and Email Verification
368
369	Bit Form includes [multiple spam protection](https://bit-form.com/feature/block-spams-spam-protection/) options. You can protect forms using reCAPTCHA v2, reCAPTCHA v3, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile for free. Honeypot protection is included in Pro.
370
371	Bit Form also supports double opt-in in Pro. Double opt-in can require users to confirm their email before selected actions run. This is useful for newsletter forms, lead generation forms, registration forms, and email-based workflows.
372
373
374	### Form Abandonment and Partial Entries (Pro)
375
376	Bit Form includes form abandonment support. This feature can save partial form data when users leave before completing the form.
377
378	You can show a warning message, save drafts for logged-in users, repopulate previous partial entries, save a draft when the user leaves the form page, and allow empty forms to be saved as drafts when needed.
379
380	### WordPress Authentication Forms
381
382	Bit Form Pro includes WordPress authentication features. You can create forms for:
383
384	* User registration
385	* User login
386	* Forgot password
387	* Reset password
388
389	You can map form fields to WordPress user fields, assign user roles, set approval methods, send user and admin notifications, redirect users after submission, and map user meta fields.
390
391	This makes Bit Form useful for membership sites, course sites, private communities, customer portals, and user onboarding flows.
392
393
394	### Why Choose Bit Form?
395

405
406	Bit Form keeps simple form creation easy while still giving advanced users enough control to build complex form workflows.
407
408
409	### Build Simple Forms or Advanced Form Workflows
410
411	You can start with a basic form and later build more complex forms with file upload, conditional logic, multistep form, conversational form, payment form fields, booking form workflows, order form confirmations, support form notifications, CRM integrations, and PDF attachments.
412
413	Bit Form gives you a flexible form-building system inside WordPress with a beginner-friendly interface and advanced form-building capabilities.
414
415
416	== External services ==
417
418	Bit Form connects to external services only when:
419	- You enable a specific integration (e.g., Zoho CRM, Mailchimp, Google Sheets)
420	- You use a built-in feature that requires external processing (e.g., spam protection, icon search)
421
422	Data is sent to external servers only when integrations are active (captcha/icon search are exceptions when those features are used). Enabling an integration sends form data to that service per your configuration — for example, connecting Mailchimp will send subscriber data on form submission.
423
