Tired of users abandoning your lengthy WordPress forms before completing them? Increase form completion rates and submissions by implementing the save and resume feature. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how to incorporate this functionality into your WordPress forms using WPForms, a popular plugin.
The Benefits of the Save and Resume Feature
Many users tend to abandon forms that require a significant amount of time to complete. By including a save and resume option in your WordPress forms, you empower users to save their progress and continue later. This not only encourages more form submissions but also reduces form abandonment.
The save and resume feature is particularly advantageous for long forms such as surveys, questionnaires, job applications, or multi-stage workflows involving multiple users.
Implementing the Save and Resume Functionality with WPForms
WPForms, an esteemed WordPress contact form plugin, is trusted by over 6 million website owners. With its user-friendly drag-and-drop form builder, pre-built templates, and seamless integration with popular email marketing tools and payment collection services like PayPal, WPForms is the ideal choice.
To enable the save and resume functionality, install and activate WPForms on your website. From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to WPForms » Settings and input your license key.
Next, go to WPForms » Addons and activate the ‘Save and Resume Addon’ by clicking the ‘Install Addon’ button. This add-on enables users to save their form progress and seamlessly continue where they left off.
Once the add-on is activated, you have the option to either add the save and continue functionality to an existing form or create a new one using WPForms.
Creating a Form with the Save and Resume Feature
To create a new form, access WPForms » Add New. Choose a pre-built template that suits your requirements or build one from scratch. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will select the Suggestion Form template.
Edit the form fields using the intuitive drag-and-drop builder. Personalize labels, descriptions, choices, and other settings for each field. To incorporate the save and resume functionality, navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab and select ‘Save and Resume’.
Toggle the ‘Enable Save and Resume’ option to activate the feature. Customize the text displayed next to the submit button and enable a disclaimer page if necessary. Additional customization options include enabling the resume link, email notifications, and modifying confirmation pages and messages.
Once you are satisfied with the changes, click ‘Save’ to store the form and exit the form builder.
Adding the Form to Your Website
Edit an existing page or create a new one to display the form. In the WordPress editor, click the ‘+’ button and add a WPForms block. Choose the form you created from the dropdown menu and publish the page.
Visitors to your page will see the form with a ‘Save and Resume Later’ option next to the submit button. By selecting this option, users can either copy the form link or enter an email address to receive the link via email.
Tracking Saved Forms and Monitoring Completion
To check if users have saved and partially completed forms using WPForms, go to WPForms » Entries. Select the form you created to view its entries. Entries marked as ‘Partial’ indicate users who have saved their form progress. The status automatically changes to ‘Completed’ when users return and finalize the form.
By implementing the save and resume functionality in your WordPress forms with WPForms, you can enhance the user experience, optimize form completion rates, and increase submissions.
