Whether you need a large registration form or just a simple contact form, ProcessWire Form Builder helps you get the job done quickly and easily. It’s the ultimate tool for building and processing forms in ProcessWire.
Building forms used to be time consuming and frustrating, but Form Builder makes it a simple pleasure. It will literally save you hours, and potentially days, of time.
EASY. Building front-end forms on your website has never been so simple. ProcessWire Form Builder lets you create, edit and publish forms with no development necessary. The goal was to create a system where you could discover a need for a form and have it running, and ready to take input, in as little as 5 minutes.
POWERFUL. When it comes to long forms or complex needs, ProcessWire Form Builder has you covered. Advanced input capabilities like asmSelect, file and image fields, date pickers, and variable width fields and fieldsets are easily accessible in Form Builder. Form Builder can also export spreadsheets of your form results, send admin and auto-response emails, process single or recurring credit card payments via Stripe Elements, process credit cards with 3D Secure support via Stripe Checkout, cross-post to 3rd party services like SalesForce and Google Sheets, and more.
FLEXIBLE. Form Builder supports multiple output and embed methods, giving you lots of flexibility for how you want to integrate FormBuilder forms into your website. Form Builder's default output and embed methods work anywhere and require no work on your part. If and when you want it to output markup specific to an existing framework, it comes with built in markup support for Uikit, Bootstrap, and more, plus the ability to extend it for any framework.
