AI form generator and WordPress form builder for contact and Stripe payment forms, with surveys and quizzes in SureForms Business.

== Description ==

### THE AI FORM GENERATOR FOR WORDPRESS

SureForms is an AI form generator and WordPress form builder that turns a simple prompt into a ready-to-edit contact form, Stripe payment form, booking request form, quote form, lead form, application form, or other custom form. SureForms Business adds advanced form types such as surveys, quizzes, registration forms, calculators, multi-step forms, and conversational forms.

Unlike tools that generate code or move you into a separate interface, SureForms creates editable form blocks directly inside the WordPress block editor. No external API key is required, and you remain in control of every field, label, layout, notification, and setting.

Start with AI, choose a ready-made template, or build from scratch with drag and drop. Trusted by more than 500,000 websites, SureForms combines AI form generation with a familiar Gutenberg experience.

### GENERATE A COMPLETE FORM WITH AI

Use the AI form builder to draft contact forms, Stripe payment forms, booking requests, quote forms, lead forms, application forms, and other custom forms in minutes. SureForms Business enables the advanced survey, quiz, registration, calculator, multi-step, and conversational workflows described below.

Why SureForms works differently as an AI form generator:

-   No external API key is required
-   AI form generation is available in the free plugin
-   Generated fields remain fully editable
-   Forms are created as native WordPress blocks inside Gutenberg
-   You can start with AI, use a template, or build from scratch
-   The generated form stays inside your WordPress website

### POWERFUL FREE FEATURES IN SUREFORMS

The free version of SureForms is more than a basic contact form plugin. It includes the essential tools needed to build, publish, manage, and improve WordPress forms without installing multiple add-ons.

#### Native WordPress Drag and Drop Form Builder

SureForms uses the WordPress block editor as its form-building interface. Drag, drop, reorder, duplicate, and style fields using the same Gutenberg experience you already use to build pages and posts.

There is no separate proprietary form canvas to learn. Your form remains made of editable WordPress blocks and can be embedded using a block or shortcode.

#### AI Form Builder for WordPress

Generate a complete form from a simple prompt, then edit every field, label, placeholder, and setting. SureForms AI helps you move faster without locking the result inside a separate cloud dashboard.

#### Contact Forms and Custom Forms

Create simple contact forms or detailed custom forms for sales enquiries, customer support, feedback, applications, bookings, registrations, events, leads, and internal workflows.

#### Stripe Payment Forms

Accept secure Stripe payments from your WordPress forms without installing a separate payment add-on. Build donation forms, service payment forms, order forms, membership payment forms, and event registration forms.

Examples:

-   [Donation Form](https://sureforms.com/form/donation-form/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=donation_form_example)
-   [Photography Packages Payment Form](https://sureforms.com/form/photography-packages-payment-form/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=photography_payment_example)
-   [Monthly Membership Form](https://sureforms.com/form/monthly-membership-plan/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=membership_plan_example)
-   [Web Design Quote and Payment Form](https://sureforms.com/form/freelance-web-design-packages-payment/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=web_design_payment_example)

PayPal payments are available with SureForms Business.

#### Form Entries Inside WordPress

Store and manage form entries directly inside your WordPress dashboard. Review submissions, search entries, export data, and keep control of your form information without relying on a separate form-data service.

#### Email Notifications

Send customized email notifications after every form submission. Configure recipients, reply-to addresses, subject lines, message content, and smart form data for different workflows.

#### Confirmation Messages and Redirects

Show a custom success message after submission or redirect users to another page. This makes it easy to guide visitors toward downloads, thank-you pages, purchases, bookings, and next steps.

#### Instant Forms with Shareable Links

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMH129ZUxJ0]

Publish a form with its own shareable URL without creating a separate WordPress page. Share Instant Forms through email, social media, messaging apps, QR codes, or campaigns.

#### Responsive Forms and Multi-Column Layouts

Create mobile-friendly forms that work across phones, tablets, and desktops. Arrange fields into flexible columns to make longer forms cleaner and easier to complete.

#### Real-Time Field Validation

Help users correct incomplete or invalid information before submitting a form. Inline validation improves data quality and reduces failed submissions.

#### Spam Protection

Protect forms with Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, and honeypot protection. These options help block automated spam while keeping the form experience usable for real visitors.

#### GDPR-Friendly Forms

Add a GDPR agreement field and control how visitor information is collected. Form entries stay inside your WordPress website unless you intentionally connect an external integration.

#### Form Reports and Analytics

Review form activity through reports and visual insights in the WordPress dashboard. Understand submission patterns and identify forms that may need attention.

#### Styling Controls

Customize colors, typography, spacing, borders, field appearance, buttons, and layouts. SureForms forms are designed to work with your active WordPress theme while still giving you control over their appearance.

#### Form Import Tools

Move supported forms into SureForms instead of rebuilding everything manually. Imported forms remain editable inside the WordPress block editor.

#### Built-In Translations

SureForms includes built-in translations for:

-   German
-   Spanish
-   French
-   Italian
-   Dutch
-   Polish
-   Portuguese

SureForms is also translation-ready and works with multilingual tools such as WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress.

#### Developer-Friendly Customization

Use clean APIs, hooks, and structured code to extend form behavior, connect custom workflows, or adapt SureForms for client projects.
