Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Xtreme Forms – WP Contact Form Builder, Lead Capture, Form to Email & Webhooks

Yes. The free version of Xtreme Forms is the complete plugin — every feature in the list above ships in the free download with no artificial caps on the number of forms, leads, submissions, fields, or admin users. There is no "premium upgrade" overlay on settings pages, no popup nag to upgrade, and no feature gating inside the dashboard. The optional Pro add-on (sold separately at xtremeplugins.com) layers advanced routing rules, webhook retry, and extended analytics on top — it never removes or limits anything in the free plugin.

Most popular WordPress contact form plugins (WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable Forms, Forminator, Fluent Forms) treat the form as the product — they're "form builders" that hand off every submission as an email and stop there. Xtreme Forms treats the lead as the product. Every submission lands in a searchable inbox with a full status workflow (new → contacted → converted), per-lead notes, tags, assignment to team members, and an append-only audit log. So in addition to building the form you also get a lightweight CRM for the leads it captures, all for free, without an external SaaS.

Yes — and you can ship one in under five minutes. Pick the Simple Contact Form template from Xtreme Forms → Forms → Add New → From Template, drop the generated [xtreme_forms id="X"] shortcode on any page, and the form is live. Submissions automatically land in your Lead Inbox and are emailed to the address you configure under Settings → Email.

Yes. The [xtreme_forms id="X"] shortcode works in every page builder's shortcode element. The native Gutenberg block also works inside Elementor Pro's container elements, Bricks' block element, and any block-theme template. There's no separate Elementor / Bricks / Divi addon to install.

If you're looking for a free WPForms alternative because you don't want to pay $99–$399/year for features like conditional logic, multi-step forms, webhooks, and form analytics — yes. Every one of those features is in the free download. The trade-off: WPForms has 20+ third-party integrations as paid Pro addons (Stripe, PayPal, etc.). Xtreme Forms ships built-in webhooks (you can send leads to any CRM yourself) plus direct Zoho / HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive integrations, but doesn't have a Stripe payment field — if you need credit-card collection inside the form itself, WPForms or Gravity Forms is the better fit.

Yes — fully standalone. Xtreme Forms has zero external plugin dependencies. WooCommerce isn't required, and WooCommerce isn't required for any feature listed on this page.

Yes. Xtreme Forms creates per-site database tables and supports network-wide activation. Forms, leads, and settings are scoped per blog and don't bleed across the network.

Yes — it ships a per-form consent checkbox, a right-to-erasure helper for deleting a lead's record on request, configurable data retention (auto-delete leads older than X days), and an append-only audit log. These are tools to help you build a GDPR-aware workflow; legal compliance with GDPR or any other privacy law is still your responsibility.

Yes. Full JSON export and import from the Xtreme Forms → Import / Export admin page. The format is documented and round-trip-safe so you can also pipe leads into your own scripts.

One first-party cookie, xf_utm, and only when a visitor arrives with campaign parameters in the URL (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content, gclid, gbraid or wbraid). It stores exactly those URL values — nothing the visitor typed into a form — for up to 30 days (Safari limits script-set cookies to 7 days) so a form on another page can still record where the visitor came from. Google's click identifiers (gclid / gbraid / wbraid) are pseudonymous advertising IDs, so list the cookie in your cookie / privacy policy if your jurisdiction requires it. Nothing is sent to third parties by the cookie itself. The site-wide capture script can be switched off under Xtreme Forms → Settings → Campaign Tracking (parameters are then only captured on pages that contain a form).
