By default, WordPress does not have AI features. But you can integrate WPForms with AI easily, and many other plugins and themes can tap into various AI tools and APIs. There are solutions for almost every aspect of site creation and management, from page builders to SEO to security.

I’ll share some of the ways you can use AI with WordPress to build and optimize your WordPress website.

How to Use AI With WordPress

There are no native AI features built in to the WordPress platform, so if you want to enhance your site with the help of artificial intelligence, you’ll need to find a plugin or theme that includes AI integration.

Fortunately, there are many AI tools for WordPress available already. Below, I’ve shared some of most popular ways to use AI with WordPress, along with some plugins you can use for each.

Build Your Site With an AI-Powered Page Builder

Page builders have been popular tools for creating WordPress sites for a long time. Now, they’re streamlining the site-building process even more with AI-powered features.

For instance, SeedProd can now generate images and text for your site to speed up content creation.

This essentially turns your WordPress theme into an AI content generator! It’s perfect for all kinds of copywriting, including landing pages and eCommerce product descriptions.

It can even improve your existing text by making content recommendations to improve readability or adjust the tone of your writing to match your target audience.

For new content, SeedProd can provide headline suggestions for inspiration. And if you want to be able to reach global audiences, it can translate your web pages into other languages. The AI editor is super user-friendly and easy to pick up.

So, in addition to its super easy-to-use templates and drag-and-drop page builder, SeedProd can now populate your posts and pages with high-quality AI-generated content to get your site off the ground in no time.

Other page builders with AI functionality include Divi AI and Elementor.

Boost Your SEO With AI-Generated Suggestions

SEO plugins are another area where AI is taking off. All In One SEO (AIOSEO) has a ChatGPT integration to help users create SEO titles and meta descriptions with the click of button.

AIOSEO will provide several options for you to choose from, and you can ask it to regenerate the list if you don’t see any that are to your liking right away.

The titles and descriptions are already optimized for search using the latest SEO trends, so you can feel assured that your content is set up for success. Plus, AIOSEO has many other features to improve your site’s SERP visibility, like internal linking suggestions and smart sitemap generation.

Generate Code Snippets With WPCode AI

Whether you write your own code or use something from the massive Code Snippet Library, WPCode is great for adding custom code to your site, creating exactly the experience you want.

But what if you need it to be even easier?

You need WPCode AI.

Available to users with Pro plans and above, WPCode AI lets you add new features to your site without needing any coding knowledge.

After you select the Generate snippet using AI option, you’re prompted to describe what you want the code to do. Just like with any AI tools, it’s a good idea to be specific here. The better and clearer your information is, the better your generated code will be.

Once you’ve entered all the details about what you want your snippet to do, you can generate it. You can watch WPCode write the snippets for you right before your very eyes!

If you decide that the code isn’t quite what you wanted, you can click the purple button next to Code Type to refine it.

Once everything looks good, you can use auto-insert location and conditional logic to make snippet management a breeze.

Automate Workflows With OpenAI

Uncanny Automator is a super helpful plugin for automating connections between WordPress and 3rd party apps or other plugins. It now offers an OpenAI integration that you can use to generate content for your WordPress site.

Here’s an example of how my team integrated WPForms with OpenAI:

There are several actions available for your WPForms OpenAI integration:

• Text generation from a form entry
• Image generation from a form entry
• Social media excerpt creation
• Proofreading for spelling and grammar mistakes
• Translating content.

You can even use Uncanny Automator and OpenAI for content generation to let users create blog posts from the frontend of your site by submitting a form.

Uncanny Automator integrates directly with WPForms, so you can easily pair our form builder with the OpenAI integration to accept AI-written posts on your site.

Enhance Your Customer Service With an AI Chatbot

Chatbots have been around for quite some time now, making them one of the most common uses of machine learning on WordPress sites.

There are lots of chatbot plugins out there, but one of our favorites is Tidio.

Tidio uses AI to answer customer questions by pulling information from your site’s FAQ page. You can also use it for live chat and have AI refine your responses before you send them to customers.

Automating customer support lets you help more users, faster, which makes for a better overall user experience on your site. AI fits seamlessly into this area, making it one of the best ways to use AI for your small business.

Monitor Your Site Using AI Malware Scanning

Preventing malware is vital to your site’s security. While there are lots of WordPress security plugins out there, Quttera Web Malware Scanner is the one to use if you want AI-enhanced malware scanning for your WordPress site.

This plugin’s patented AI scanner assesses your site for many different types of malicious code, including viruses, trojans, backdoors, worms, and more.

While it can’t remove that code for you, it does provide an early detection system so that you can fix security problems fast.

If this article helped you out, please follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more free WordPress tutorials and guides.

If you find yourself having to make the same customizations over and over again, it might be a good idea to create your own custom form templates. All your personalized details will already be included, saving you time when creating new forms.

Fortunately, WPForms lets you turn any form into a template that you can reuse as often as you need. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how it works!

Create Your Custom Form Template Now

How to Create Your Own Custom Form Templates (3 Steps)

WPForms makes it super easy to personalize form templates and save them for future use right in the form builder. Here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Create a New Template From an Existing Form

First, you’ll need a form to base your template off of. This can be one of WPForms’ many existing form templates, or a form you’ve already built and saved.

There are tons of different types of forms you might want to create custom, branded  templates for, like:

• Consent forms and waivers: Add your company’s terms and conditions to your template.
• Contact forms: Use a personalized template to quickly create multiple contact forms for different purposes to use around your site.
• Order forms: Add your products to your order form template, then use it create multiple order forms. For example, you could make a standard pricing order form and a wholesale pricing order form with the same products.
• Donation forms: Create a template with your organization’s branding and donation options, then use it to create online forms for different fundraising events.
• Application forms: Build a standard application form template, then let leaders from different clubs or other organizations you sponsor create custom forms for their specific groups.

Custom templates are also great if you want to translate your form into another language, then save it and reuse it around your site.

For my example, I’ll use the Billing/Order Form template.

Open the form you want to base your template off of in the drag-and-drop form builder. Then click on the menu icon at the top of the screen to see additional options. Select Save as Template.

The form builder will then refresh, and you’ll see an orange Template badge indicating that you’re now editing a template.

Next, you’ll be able to make changes to the form so you can reuse it on your site.

Step 2: Customize Your New Form Template

You can configure your new template the same way you would edit any form with WPForms. I’ll walk through a few examples of changes you might want to make to create a functional template that works for you.

First, I want to change the name of my template, so I’ll click on the Setup tab and type the new name into the field at the top of the builder.

Back in the Fields tab, I’ll edit the form fields. Since my example is an order form, I’m going to start by adding my own products and prices in place of the ones in the Billing/Order Form template.

I’m also going to enable image choices so that my order form includes product images.

Finally, I’m going to add a Content field to the top of the form so that I can add a logo. Custom templates are especially handy if you want to add your branding to your reusable forms.

Now that I’m done editing the form, I’ll click on the Settings tab. Under General, I’m going to add a template description that will be visible in the template gallery on my site once I’ve saved this template.

I’m also going to edit the email notification and confirmation message to include the brand name.

The template I’m creating doesn’t include any marketing or payment integrations, so I’ll skip those and click Save to update my template.

Step 3: Use Your Custom Form Template

After you save your custom WPForms template, you can find it with all the other templates in gallery. Navigate to WPForms » Form Templates and click on My Templates to view your custom templates.

You can see my new order form template above. To use it, all I need to do is click Create Form.

You can see there’s also a button here to edit the template if I decide I want to make more changes to it.

Once my template loads in the form builder, I can customize and embed my order form just like I would any template from the WPForms Templates Gallery.

Deleting Custom Form Templates

If you decide you no longer need a custom template you’ve created, you can delete it from your site by going to WPForms » Form Templates » My Templates and clicking on the trash icon for the template you want to remove.

This only deletes the template itself, not any forms you’ve published that use this template.

FAQs on Custom Form Templates

Have questions about custom form templates in WPForms? Here are some top answers.

Can I use my custom form template on another site?

Your custom form template will only be available on the site where you created it. The My Templates section for each site is unique.

However, you can export your form template, then upload it to another site and save it as a template there.

Check out our documentation on this process for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Next, Customize Your Email Notifications

As you can see, making custom form templates in WPForms is really easy! It just takes a few clicks to get started.

Create Your Custom Form Template Now

Another way you can customize your forms is by using email templates to style your notifications. Check out how to style your email notifications in WPForms to learn how to add a header image, change the color scheme, and more.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to display input from a subfield using Smart Tags in WPForms.

For more information on Smart Tags and how to use them, please see our guide to using Smart Tags.

Showing Only the First or Last Name

If you’d like to pull a subfield of your form’s Name field, you can use the {field_id} Smart Tag with a vertical slash to display this information.

For example, to pull only the first name from your form, you would use the {field_id="#|first"} Smart Tag.

Below is the full list of available options for the Name field:

• First Name: {field_id="#|first"}
• Middle Name: {field_id="#|middle"}
• Last Name: {field_id="#|last"}

This can be useful for creating personalized messages in your email notifications or confirmations that feel more conversational than using the full name.

Displaying Individual Lines from an Address Field

You can also use the {field_id} Smart Tag followed by a vertical slash (|) to show individual lines from your form’s Address field.

For example, if you only wanted to show the street entered by a user, you would use the Smart Tag {field_id="#|address1"}.

The available Smart Tag options for the Address field are:

• Line 1: {field_id="#|address1"}
• Line 2: {field_id="#|address2"}
• City: {field_id="#|city"}
• State/Region: {field_id="#|state"}
• Zip Code/Postal Code: {field_id="#|postal"}

If you primarily serve local customers, you may want to use these Smart Tag variations to auto-fill subfields with your business’ city, state, and zip code. You can also use these details for personalized messages about local opportunities or events.

Showing Only the Time Value from a Date / Time Field

You can pull time data from your forms by adding the H:i suffix to the {date} Smart Tag.

If you’re looking to separate the time from the date, you can use {field_id="#|time"} for the time and {field_id="#|date"} for the date.

Displaying Only the Quantity from a Single Item or Dropdown Items Field

If you want to isolate the quantity a customer has selected for a specific product, you can use {field_id="#|quantity"} to show the number of items ordered separate from the product name.

This Smart Tag is compatible with the Single Item and Dropdown Items payment fields in WPForms.

Displaying Only the Amount from a Single Item or Dropdown Items Field

If you need to display only the numerical value of a payment field without the product name, you can use {field_id="#|amount"}. This will display the total amount associated with the selected items.

This Smart Tag is compatible with the Single Item and Dropdown Items payment fields in WPForms.

Displaying Raw Value from Payment Fields

The {field_value_id} Smart Tag pulls the raw value that a user has added or selected to a specific payment field in your form. When used in an email notification, it will show an unformatted version of the content.

This is useful if you’re looking to do some custom development using the values submitted to your forms’ payment fields.

Like the {field_html_id} Smart Tag, you can enter the {field_value_id} Smart Tag directly into the body of your email notification.

That’s it! Now you know how to use Smart Tags to display information from subfields in WPForms.

Next, want to see examples of how to use common Smart Tags in WPForms? Check out our Smart Tag usage examples for more ideas on how to use this feature in your forms.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to use Smart Tags to unlock hidden user data.

For more information on Smart Tags and how to use them, please see our guide to using Smart Tags.

Hidden User Data Smart Tags

The following Smart Tags can help you gather more information about your users without having to ask for it by adding more fields to your forms:

• {user_ip}
• {entry_geolocation}
• {user_id}
• {query_var key=""}
• {entry_user_journey}

This data can be used for a variety of purposes, from enhancing your marketing strategy to keeping user data anonymous.

Next, we’ll discuss how to use each of these Smart Tags to collect user data.

Viewing the User’s IP Address

Each computer connected to the internet has a unique address. The {user_ip} Smart Tag allows you to see the unique IP address of each user who submits your form.

If you’d like to know the IP address of anyone who fills out your forms, you can use this Smart Tag in the Email Message section of your form’s notifications settings, or as the default value of a Hidden Field.

Viewing the User’s Location

The {entry_geolocation} Smart Tag allows you to see information for the approximate locations of your users.

You can add this Smart Tag to the Email Message field of a notification as a quick reference for where the user is located. This can be particularly helpful if you need to know their time zone for a phone call.

Viewing the User ID for Logged-In Users

Every registered user on your WordPress site is assigned an ID number. The {user_id} Smart Tag allows you to see the User ID when a logged-in user submits your form.

This Smart Tag can be helpful if you’re creating an anonymous survey form for your logged-in users. It enables you to track unique submissions without you having to ask users for their names.

Auto-Filling Fields Based on a Link

The {query_var key=""} Smart Tag enables you to automatically fill in a field based on the link the user clicked on to access the form. This Smart Tag is also known as Query String Variable.

Query strings require a little extra setup. You can read our guide on how to use query strings for more details and step-by-step instructions.

Viewing the User Journey

The {entry_user_journey} Smart Tag is used to display the pathway a user took before opening and submitting your form. This can be useful for understanding how users navigate your website and find your forms.

Displaying the URL Users Access Your Form From

The {url_referer} Smart Tag will insert the address of the page that referred the user to the current page.

It can be useful as a default value for a Hidden Field in your form, which will be invisible to your users but displayed in your entries.

For example, if a user went from your site’s home page to your contact page, and then filled out your contact form there, this Smart Tag would display the URL of your home page as the value of your Hidden Field.

That’s it! Now you know different ways to unlock hidden user data in your forms.

Next, want to see more examples of how you can use Smart Tags in WPForms? Check out our Smart Tag usage examples for more ideas on making the most of this feature.

Want to use our Google Sheets addon with a custom Google application instead of the WPForms Google app? Connecting to Google Sheets via custom application is sometimes the best option for developers and advanced users.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the WPForms Google Sheets addon with your own custom Google app.

Before getting started, you’ll first need to make sure WPForms is installed and activated on your WordPress site and that you’ve verified your license. You will also need to sign up for a Google account if you don’t already have one and install and activate the Google Sheets addon.

Enabling Advanced Mode

To get started, open your WordPress dashboard and go to WPForms » Settings. Then click on the Integrations tab.

Next, click on the Google Sheets integration to expand its settings.

To get started with your Google application connection, click Enable Advanced Mode.

You’ll now see additional settings where you’ll need to enter information from the Google Cloud Platform.

To find this information, you’ll first need to log in to the Google Cloud Platform and create a custom application. However, we recommend leaving your WPForms settings open in a separate browser tab while you create your application, as you’ll need to access them later.

Adding a New Project

Once you’ve logged in to the Google Cloud Platform, click APIs & Services.

On the next screen, click the projects dropdown menu.

After that, an overlay will appear that shows your projects. Go ahead and click NEW PROJECT.

Next, you’ll need to add a name to the Project name field. We recommend using a name that will help you remember what you’re using the project for. However, you can use whatever name you’d like.

After adding a name, click the CREATE button.

Once you’ve created your project, click the project dropdown again and select your newly created project if it isn’t already selected by default.

Enabling Google APIs

Now that your project is created, it’s time to enable some Google APIs. To start, click Library in the left-side menu.

This will take you to the API Library where you’ll need to locate and enable 3 different APIs: Google Drive API, Google Sheets API, and Google Picker API.

Type “Google Drive API” in the search bar to locate the Google Drive API.

Once you’ve located the Google Drive API, click the ENABLE button.

Next, head back to Google’s API library and type “Google Sheets API” in the search bar.

After locating the Google Sheets API, click the ENABLE button.

Finally, return to Google’s API library and type “Google Picker API” in the search bar.

Once you’ve located the Google Picker API, click the ENABLE button.

Selecting a User Type

Now that you’ve enabled the required APIs, click OAuth consent screen in the left-side menu.

On the next screen, you’ll need to select a User Type for your application. You can select either Internal or External, depending on who you’d like to share your app with.

For our example, we’ll select External. Once you’ve made your selection, click the CREATE button to proceed.

Registering Your App

After you’ve selected a User Type for your app, you’ll be redirected to a page to complete your app registration. You’ll need to complete a series of steps to register your app, which we’ll cover in the following sections.

Adding App Information

Adding information about your app is required and allows users to know who you are and how to contact you.

In the required fields, be sure to add an App name and User support email.

Adding an App Domain

Scroll down to the App domain section and locate the Authorized domains section. From here, click the ADD DOMAIN button.

In the Authorized domain 1 field, you’ll need to add wpforms.com as your domain.

Adding Developer Contact Information

Next, add your preferred email address in the Developer contact information section. Google will contact you at this email address if there are any changes to your project.

Finally, click the SAVE AND CONTINUE button to proceed to the next step.

Adding Scopes

On the next screen, click the ADD OR REMOVE SCOPES button.

In the side modal that appears, click on the search bar labeled Enter property name or value.

Then, go ahead and search for each of the following scopes:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets

You’ll need to enable each of the above scopes by clicking the checkbox on the left side.

Once you’ve enabled the required scopes, click the UPDATE button located at the bottom of the screen.

You’ll then return to the Scopes screen where you can view and manage your enabled scopes. From here, go ahead and click the SAVE AND CONTINUE button to save your changes.

Adding Test Users

Google will need to complete the verification process before users can interact with your app. However, you can allow specific users to test your app before it’s verified. This step isn’t required for our setup, so we’ll go ahead and move to the next step by clicking the SAVE AND CONTINUE button.

Reviewing Your App Registration

The last step of the app registration is to review your configuration on the Summary screen. If everything looks correct and corresponds with the steps in this tutorial, click the BACK TO DASHBOARD button at the bottom of the screen.

Publishing Your App

Now that you’ve completed the app registration, you’ll need to publish your app. You can do this directly from the Oauth consent screen by clicking on the PUBLISH APP button.

After clicking the button, a modal will appear with some further steps for completing Google’s app verification process. To confirm, click CONFIRM.

Creating Credentials for Your Application

The next step is to create credentials for your application. To get started, click Credentials in the left-side menu.

Then, click CREATE CREDENTIALS at the top of the Credentials screen.

After that, click OAuth client ID.

Next, click the Application type dropdown and select Web application.

After that, be sure to enter a name for your Oauth 2.0 client in the Name field. This won’t be visible to end users, so feel free to name it whatever you’d like.

Next, scroll to the Authorized redirect URIs section and click ADD URI.

Now you’ll need to head back to your WPForms integration settings and copy the first Callback URL by clicking the copy icon.

Then, switch back to your Google application settings and paste the Callback URL into the URIs 1 field.

After that, click the ADD URI button again so you can add your 2nd URI.

Switch back to your WPForms settings and click the copy icon next to the 2nd Callback URL.

Now you can navigate back to your Google settings and paste the 2nd Callback URL into the URIs 2 field.

Next, click the CREATE button.

A modal window will then appear with your OAuth client credentials. From here, copy the Client ID by clicking the copy icon.

Then, switch over to your WPForms integration settings and paste the Client ID into the Google Client ID field.

Next, navigate back to your Google application settings and copy the Client secret.

Switch over to your WPForms integration settings once more and paste the Client Secret into the Google Client Secret field.

Completing the Connection

Now that you have your Client ID and Client Secret in place, it’s time to complete the connection. To do this, click the Connect with Google button.

Next, you’ll be redirected to a Google authentication page. Here you’ll need to grant WPForms access to your Google account.

Once you’ve selected a Google account, click the Continue button to grant WPForms access to your account.

Now when you return to WPForms » Settings » Integrations, you should see the green Connected status along with your connection details.

You can now proceed to add a Google Sheets integration to any form on your site.

That’s it! Now you know how to set up a custom Google app to use with the WPForms Google Sheets addon.

Next, would you like to learn more about what you can do with user-submitted information in WPForms? See our complete guide to form entries to learn more.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the forms trash, including how to restore and permanently delete forms.

Before getting started, you’ll first need to make sure WPForms is installed and activated on your WordPress site and that you’ve verified your license. Then, be sure to create a form if you haven’t already.

Adding Forms to the Trash

First, you’ll need to access the Forms Overview page. In your admin dashboard, go to WPForms » All Forms.

From the Forms Overview page, you can remove forms from your site by adding them to the trash.

To add an individual form to the trash, hover over the form and click the Trash option.

When the form has been successfully added to the trash, you’ll see a confirmation notice at the top of the page.

If you’d like to add multiple forms to the trash at once, check the box next to each form you’d like to add.

Alternatively, you can select all your forms by checking the box next to Name.

Once you’ve chosen the forms you’d like to add to the trash, select the Trash option from the Bulk actions dropdown.

When you’re ready to add the forms to the Trash, click the Apply button.

Next, we’ll cover how to view and manage the forms in the trash.

Viewing Your Forms on the Trash Screen

Once you’ve added forms to the trash, you can view them by clicking on the Trash link.

This will take you to the trash screen where you can view the forms that are currently in the trash.

From here, you’ll have the option to restore or permanently delete your forms. We’ll cover both of these options below.

Restoring Your Forms

Restoring a form removes it from the trash and adds it back to the Forms Overview page. This lets you use the form on your site again,  and also gives you access to the form’s entries.

To restore a form, hover over the form name and click the Restore option.

After you click the Restore option, you’ll see a confirmation notice letting you know that the form has been successfully restored.

Now you’ll be able to use the form on your site again, and you’ll also have access to the form’s entries.

Permanently Deleting Your Forms

To permanently delete a form, hover over the form name and click the Delete Permanently option.

When you select the Delete Permanently option, an overlay will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. To confirm, click the OK button.

You’ll now see a confirmation notice at the top of the page letting you know the form has been permanently deleted.

Emptying Your Trash

You can permanently delete all the forms in the trash by clicking the Empty Trash button.

Then, you’ll see an overlay asking you to confirm the deletion of all the forms that are in the trash. To confirm, click the OK button.

After all the forms have been successfully deleted, you’ll see a confirmation notice at the top of the page.

That’s it! Now you know how to delete and restore forms in WPForms.

Next, want more tips on managing your website’s forms? See our complete guide to form management to learn more options for organizing and maintaining your forms.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create country and keyword filters to prevent spam entries.

Accessing Spam Protection and Security Settings

The spam filter options are located in the form builder’s Spam Protection and Security settings. To access them, create a new form or edit and existing one to open the form builder.

Then go to Settings » Spam Protection and Security.

You’ll find the country and keyword filters under Filtering.

Adding a Country Filter

Using a country filter is a simple and effective way to allow or deny form submissions from specific countries.

To enable this feature from the form builder, head to Settings » Security and Spam Protection and toggle on the Enable country filter option.

Next, click the dropdown menu under Country Filter and select Allow if you’d like to permit users from specific countries to submit your form. If you’d like to block users from specific countries from submitting your form, select Deny.

Then, click the other dropdown and select the countries you’d like to allow or deny entries from.

For our example, we’ll choose to Allow entries from United States of America only.

Now if a user attempts to submit our form from outside of our selected country, the form will fail to submit. They’ll also see a default message that reads, “Sorry, this form does not accept submissions from your country.”

If you’d like to change the message shown to the denied user, you can add your custom message to the field under Country Filter Message.

Once you’ve added a country filter, be sure to save your form to apply the changes.

Adding a Keyword Filter

Using a keyword filter is an easy way to manage inputs for all fields in your forms. To start, toggle the Enable keyword filter option to the on position.

Next, click Edit keyword list to open your list of keywords.

You’ll then see a text box labeled Keyword Filter List. To add words or phrases to your list, simply type them in the text box. If you add more than one word or phrase, be sure to type each one on its own line.

If you use commas to separate the words or phrases in your keyword list instead of placing each on its own line, you’ll likely see a prompt to reformat your list. Reformatting your list helps the filter detect the specific words and phrases that you want to block in your forms.

If you wish to reformat, simply click the Yes, Reformat button.

After reformatting your list, the commas will be removed, and the words and phrases will appear on their own line. This can be particularly helpful if you’re copying a list from a CSV file since commas often separate CSV file values by default.

Once you’ve added your keywords, click Save Changes to update your list of blocked keywords.

Now when a user attempts to submit your form with one of the blocked keywords, the form will fail to submit. The user will also see a default message that reads, “Sorry, your message can’t be submitted because it contains prohibited words.”

To change the message that’s displayed to the denied user, replace the text in the Keyword Filter Message field with your preferred message.

Once you’ve set up your keyword filter, be sure to save your form.

That’s it! Now you know how to add spam filters to your forms in WPForms.

How Do I Add WhatsApp to My WordPress Site?

WPForms tops my list because, in my opinion, no other plugin balances usability with a range of features as well as it does. But you might be wondering, what does a form builder have to do with WhatsApp?

Well, building forms and collecting information through it is only half the story. You also need to be able to respond to your customers or the person filling out our form quickly enough. For many, this communication takes place via email,

But if you’d rather send a message to your customers on WhatsApp, perhaps to learn whether they’re satisfied with your support, then WPForms supports this functionality too. When used with the WPForms Twilio addon, you can send notifications to a WhatsApp number every time you receive a new form entry.

This is a useful way to welcome new customers to a rewards program or send coupons, discounts, and offers. If you have a goal to boost your conversational marketing, WhatsApp notifications are a great way to start.

After setting it up, users will receive a WhatsApp notification that might look something like this:

From there, your customers can respond straight from WhatsApp either on mobile or desktop, making it convenient to communicate with your site.

Whether your goal is to grow your email list or resolve customer support requests, WPForms is one of most user-friendly WhatsApp plugins for WordPress.

Pricing: To access the Twilio addon, you will need a WPForms Plus plan or above. Pricing starts at $99.50/year.

2. Uncanny Automator

Uncanny Automator is a magical plugin (very close to it, at least) that adds extremely convenient automation possibilities for your website.

Among those is WhatsApp.

With Uncanny Automator, you can send messages to users when they:

• Make a purchase
• Register for an event
• Complete a course
• Join a group
• And more.

Unlike other WhatsApp plugins that work as a basic chat app, Uncanny Automator lets you set up notifications and transactional messages. It takes only minutes to create “recipes” that automate your WhatsApp workflows and set up corresponding “triggers” and “actions.” (to be honest, the only time-consuming part is setting up your business app first on Facebook, which is an unfortunate requirement from Meta).

This plugin gives users open access to the WhatsApp Cloud API. Unlike other WhatsApp chat plugins, you don’t have to wait for visitors to initiate messages, so you can manually reply. Instead, you can automatically send direct messages to users based on the actions they take on your site.

There are so many ways you can use Uncanny Automator to create WhatsApp workflows. I can only encourage you to explore it and see how you can leverage it for your specific business needs.

Pricing: You can connect Uncanny Automator and WhatsApp for free. Upgrade to a paid plan to access more actions, triggers, and apps. Pricing starts at $149 per year.

3. Joinchat

Joinchat is a popular solution for using WhatsApp for your website. It allows visitors to send queries and messages to your WhatsApp account, where you can reply instantly.

With Joinchat, you can send text messages, notification balloons, images, videos, GIFs, or QR codes to engage your audience through chat. You can even add links to your messages to direct your visitors anywhere you’d like, such as a contact page or landing page.

Without any coding required, you can add more support agents or channels to the chat, making it easy to help visitors and boost engagement on your site. You can also set up dynamic CTAs based on custom triggers that will direct visitors to any page you’d like for higher conversions.

Pricing: There is a free version available that will enable you to connect as many sites as you want to WhatsApp. Upgrading to the paid version gives you access to additional channels, support agents, and chat funnels. Pricing starts at €96 per year.

4. WhatsApp Chat

WhatsApp Chat (also called Social Chat) is a WhatsApp plugin that lets site visitors message you directly at your WhatsApp phone number.

This plugin displays a social button on your website where you can create a pre-set message for any visitor to see. There are 2 different layouts to choose from as well as where to position the button on your WordPress site. I think that’s a little limiting, but I’m not that hard to please so I don’t really mind. The visual interface is still pretty satisfying, regardless.

You can also use its chatbox functionality to let users submit their contact information as well as show a personalized message.

Other options you can include are a header and footer message, phone number, and avatar.

WhatsApp Chat supports shortcodes so it’s easy to add a WhatsApp chat button or box inside any widget or post you’d like. You can also edit the shortcode attributes to customize your WhatsApp number and welcome message.

Pricing: WhatsApp Chat offers a free version called Click To Chat in the WordPress plugin repository. To add a chatbox, access professional support, and allow multiple agents to respond to users, upgrade to a paid plan starting at $49.

Pricing: You can use the free version of Cresta Help Chat to create a simple WhatsApp chatbox. Upgrade to the premium version to access more customization options starting at €12.99.

6. Buttonizer

Buttonizer is a plugin that allows you to place a smart floating WhatsApp button on your WordPress site in minutes. From there, visitors can start a conversation that sends straight to your WhatsApp account so you can connect from mobile or web.

With no coding required on your part, you can customize your button in several ways. This includes choosing from 40+ chat buttons, pre-made templates, and various styling options. Changing your button’s appearance makes it easy for your WhatsApp chat to stand out and convert more visitors on your website.

You can also personalize your Buttonizer chat by adding an agent name, avatar, and a custom welcome message. Customize your button color, background image, and much more.

With Buttonizer, you can also:

• Use different floating buttons for mobile vs. desktop
• Add a Click to Call button so visitors can call your WhatsApp number
• Display different action buttons for different pages
• And more.

Pricing: The free version of Buttonizer shows your WhatsApp chat button for up to 5,000 page views per month. To increase the limit, upgrade to the Pro version starting at $100 per year.

7. Simple Chat Button

Simple Chat Button is exactly what the name states: a simple, no-frills chat plugin. Once users click the WhatsApp sticky button on your site, they’ll be able to start a chat with you via the mobile or desktop app.

This chat plugin is lightweight and easy to set up so you don’t have to worry about a complicated installation process. You can customize the text and position of your WhatsApp button to personalize your message to visitors and encourage them to engage with your site.

How I Chose These WhatsApp Plugins

There are a lot of WordPress plugins for WhatsApp out there, but I chose these particular ones only because they met a specific set of criteria I had in mind:

• Functionality and Features: I examined the specific features each plugin offers, such as chat widgets, automated replies, and integration with other tools, to ensure they meet diverse needs.
• Ease of Use: I signed up and used each of these WhatsApp chat plugins to find out how simple and straightforward the process is for an average user.
• Compatibility: I made sure that these tools and WhatsApp plugins function as intended on WhatsApp without any conflicts with WordPress themes or other popular plugins.
• Support and Updates: I evaluated the quality of customer support and the frequency of updates to ensure the plugin maintains its functionality and security over time.

How do I add a floating WhatsApp icon to my WordPress site?

There are many plugins that will add a floating WhatsApp icon to your WordPress site. My favorite is WhatsApp Chat because it includes lots of customization features and flexibility, as well as the option to add a WhatsApp chat window to your website.

How do I add a WhatsApp button to WordPress without a plugin?

If you prefer, you can add a WhatsApp button to your WordPress site using the Social Icons block. However, this method is not as user-friendly as using a WhatsApp plugin because you will need to use custom CSS if you want to customize the WhatsApp button.

Additionally, this method will make your WhatsApp phone number visible to anyone who visits your site, potentially inviting lots of spam or other unwanted messages.

You can add the Social Icons block to any post, page, or widget area on your WordPress site. First, add a new block and select Social Icons.

Then, click on the plus (+) button in the Social Icons block to select your platform. Choose the WhatsApp option.

This will add the WhatsApp button to your WordPress site. Now you need to click on the WhatsApp icon and add the following URL in the field provided: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=12123456789.

The number at the end of the URL should be the phone number associated with your WhatsApp account, including the country code.

Save your changes. You’ll now have a WhatsApp icon on your WordPress site that users can click to message you.

Fortunately, it’s fairly simple to set up Google Pay on your WordPress payment forms and start making transactions right away. In this post, we’ll show you how to set up Google Pay for WordPress sites.

Create Your Google Pay WordPress Form Now

How to Accept Google Pay in WordPress

Check out our video tutorial for steps on how to set up Google Pay in WordPress:

Or, if you’d rather follow a written tutorial, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Install the WPForms Plugin

The very first thing you’ll need to do to set up Google Pay for your site is install the WPForms WordPress plugin. In order to use the Stripe addon to enable Google Pay, you need at least the Pro license level.

After you’ve completed your purchase, you can log in to your WPForms account to download and install the plugin. If you need more help with this step, check out our guide on how to install WPForms.

Upgrade to WPForms Pro Now! 🙂

Step 2: Activate the Stripe Addon

Now that WPForms is up and running, you can install the Stripe addon to add payment plugin functionality to your site. In your WordPress dashboard admin menu, go to WPForms » Addons.

Then look for the Stripe addon and click the Install Addon button.

Once it’s installed, the addon should also automatically activate. Then you can begin connecting WPForms to Stripe.

We’ll explain the whole process, but if you feel like you need additional help, you can see our Stripe addon documentation for more details.

Upgrade to WPForms Pro Now! 🙂

Step 3: Connect WPForms to Your Stripe Account

Next, head over to WPForms » Settings » Payments. Here you’ll see your general payment and Stripe addon settings.

First, select from the currencies available. We’ll be using US dollars for our example.

Then click the Connect with Stripe button to start connecting WPForms to Stripe.

This will open a new page where you can enter your Stripe account credentials and other information to connect your site to Stripe.

Once you’ve completed the Stripe Connect wizard, you’ll be returned to your WPForms payments settings page. You should see a checkmark indicating that your account is properly connected.

Note that you’ll also see a checkbox here to enable Test Mode. This is a useful option if you’re just setting up your eCommerce site and want to check that everything is working properly.

See our guide on testing Stripe payments for more details on how to use test mode.

Step 4: Enable Payment Element Mode

The next setting you need to configure is which mode you want to use the Stripe addon in. There are 2 options: Card Element and Payment Element.

Card Element mode will only accept payments from credit and debit cards. Payment Element mode accepts card payments as well as digital wallet payments with Google Pay and Apple Pay.

So, select Payment Element mode, then save changes to your payment settings by clicking the button at the bottom of the screen.

Step 5: Create Your Stripe Payment Form

Great! Now the Stripe addon is all set up and ready to use. Next, you’ll need a form where customers can make purchases on your WordPress site.

To begin making your Google Pay WordPress form, head over to WPForms » Add New.

This will open the form builder to the first screen where you can name your form and select a template.

For our example, we’re going to use the Billing / Order Form template. However, you can use any template you like or build your form from scratch. Every template in WPForms is 100% customizable.

Once you’ve chosen your template, it will load in the drag-and-drop form builder.

Here, you can make any changes you want to your form. For more details on customizing your form, check out our tutorial on how to make a WordPress order form.

For now, all we’re going to do is add a Stripe Credit Card field.

Drag and drop the Stripe field into the preview area to add it to your form.

Whenever you add a new field to your form, you can customize its field options by clicking on it in the form preview area. First, you can change the field label for the Stripe Credit Card field.

You can also add a description if you like. And, if customers have to make a payment to submit your form, make sure to toggle on the Required option.

Next, move over to the Advanced field options. Here, you can set up Link to provide returning customers with a faster payment process.

Link is a service that enables online shoppers to complete 1-click Stripe checkout when making purchases at online stores where they’ve shopped before. Select whether you want to use an Email field from your form or add an Email subfield to the Stripe Credit Card field to save customers’ information for future purchases.

Once your form is looking the way you want it to, there’s one more thing you have to do before you add it to your WordPress site.

Step 6: Configure Your Stripe Form Payment Settings

You’ve already connected WPForms to Stripe, but now you need to enable Stripe payments for this specific form.

In the form builder, click on the Payments tab on the left. Then select Stripe and toggle on the Enable Stripe payments setting.

Next, fill in the rest of the settings for this payment form. The Payment Description is what will show on customers’ bank account statements for this purchase. Then you’ll need to select the Email field from your form to send the receipt to the customer after their payment is complete.

If you’re selling a membership or subscription product, you can also check out how to enable recurring subscriptions with Stripe.

Once you’ve finished with the Stripe settings, your Google Pay form is done! Make sure to click the Save button at the top of the form builder.

Step 7: Publish Your Google Pay Form

All that’s left is to add your Google Pay form to your WordPress site so customers can make purchases. WPForms includes lots of different ways to embed forms on your site, but we’ll be using the embed tool to add our form to a new checkout page.

From the form builder, click on the Embed button at the top of the screen.

This will open a module where you can select if you want to add your form to an existing WordPress page or create a new page.

We’ll select Create New Page. Then enter a name for your page in the field provided and click Let’s Go!

WPForms will add your form to your new page automatically. Check that everything looks right, then go ahead and click Publish.

Now customers who have Google Pay enabled on their devices will see a Google Pay option on this form.

Note that you’ll only see the Google Pay button if you have Google Pay set up on your device. Anyone without Google Pay can still use your form to make an online payment using a credit card.

If you’d like to look at an alternative option, WP Simple Pay also supports Google Pay payments. Check out our WP Simple Pay review to learn more.

Next, Create a Recurring Payment Form

Recurring payments are a great way to generate revenue from your site. The WPForms Stripe and PayPal Commerce addons both support recurring payments so you can easily create your own membership site with WordPress.
