256	### Drag-and-Drop WordPress Form Builder
257
258	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.
259
260
261	### Fast and Lightweight Form Builder
262
263	Bit Form is designed to work as a fast form builder for WordPress.
264	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.

266

285
286
287	### Conditional Logic and Dynamic Forms
288
289	Bit Form includes advanced conditional logic so your form can respond to user input.
290
291	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.
292
293	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.
294
295	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.
296
297
298	### Email Notifications and Email Templates
299
300	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.
301	Bit Form Pro also supports advanced email notifications with PDF attachments, giving you more control over documents, receipts, confirmations, and internal records.
302
303	### Built-in Style Editor
304
305	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.
306
307	The free version includes essential form styling, while Bit Form Pro adds deeper control with individual field styling.
308
309	### Payment Forms With PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay and Mollie
310
311	Bit Form Pro lets you create payment forms using PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and Mollie.
312
313	You can build a payment form, order form, booking form, donation form, service request form, event registration form, or custom checkout-style form.
314
315	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.
316
317
318
319	### Multistep Forms and Conversational Forms
320
321	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.
322
323	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.
324
325
326	### Entry Management, Data Views, and Reports
327
328	Bit Form stores form submissions inside the dashboard.
329	You can review form entries, manage submitted data, filter responses, and use entry-related features for internal workflows.
330	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.
331
332
333	### Landing Forms and Direct Form Sharing
334
335	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. You can also share conversational form links or embed forms using HTML embed code.
336
337
338	### PDF Templates and Attachments
339
340	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.
341
342	PDF template options include:
343
344	* Custom PDF template body
345	* Form field smart tags
346	* Map all fields
347	* Custom PDF file name
348	* PDF password
349	* Download link control

355	* Language direction
356
357	PDF support is useful for booking forms, order forms, payment forms, application forms, contract forms, and official form records.
358
359	### Spam Protection and Email Verification
360
361	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.
362
363	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.
364
365
366	### Form Abandonment and Partial Entries (Pro)
367
368	Bit Form includes form abandonment support. This feature can save partial form data when users leave before completing the form.
369
370	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.
371
372	### WordPress Authentication Forms
373
374	Bit Form Pro includes WordPress authentication features. You can create forms for:
375	* User registration
376	* User login
377	* Forgot password
378	* Reset password
379	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.
380	This makes Bit Form useful for membership sites, course sites, private communities, customer portals, and user onboarding flows.
381
382

395
396
397	### Build Simple Forms or Advanced Form Workflows
398

400	Bit Form gives you a flexible form-building system inside WordPress with a beginner-friendly interface and advanced form-building capabilities.
401
402
403	== External services ==
404
405	Bit Form connects to external services only when:
406	- You enable a specific integration (e.g., Zoho CRM, Mailchimp, Google Sheets)
407	- You use a built-in feature that requires external processing (e.g., spam protection, icon search)
408
409	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.
