Gravity Perks for Gravity Forms 2.1.9

Gravity Forms is an impressive WordPress form builder plugin. It allows users at any skill level to create unique, comprehensive customer forms. Its ease of use has made it a popular choice for many WordPress website owners.

Gravity Forms plugin has a wide range of free and premium Gravity Forms add-ons. Considering all of the handy features that that Gravity Forms already offers, some might question why are add-ons even necessary.

Using add-ons, you can connect with various third-party tools like help desk tools, email software, CRM, etc. Add-ons also provide added features that are not included in Gravity Forms (check WPForms vs Gravity Forms comparison).

Finally, add-ons save business owners and site owners a lot of time and money in the long run. You don’t have to hire developers to create features and functions.

The Gravity Wizz team created the GravityPerks plugin to meet those needs. Gravity Perks is a powerful plugin that consists of 32 different Gravity Forms add-ons (perks).

In this Gravity Perks review, I will show what this suite of Gravity Forms add-ons brings to the table, its advantages, disadvantages and if it is a valuable purchase.

 

Gravity Perks Review – What is Gravity Perks?

The Gravity Perks plugin integrates with Gravity Forms and provides perks that you can manage from a single location. Gravity Perks provides 32 Gravity Forms add-ons, which they call “perks.” Each one of them adds its own unique features to Gravity Forms.

Gravity Perks in itself is not a single plugin. It’s a collection of 32 perks for Gravity Forms, each one of them specifically designed to enhance the overall user experience.

 

 

One of the advantages of using this plugin is the fact that everything in it is modular. You can pick and choose the features you want.

You don’t have to worry about your site slowing down due to bloated code information from features that you don’t want or need. Enable what you need, and leave disabled those “perks” which you will not use.

Gravity Perks only loads the perks you have installed and activated to minimize its footprint on your website’s performance.

Some perks are only used for simple tasks, like setting a limit on the number of words or characters that can be used in specific text fields. Other perks are a bit more advanced. The advanced perks can be used for functions such as adding eCommerce fields to calculate shipping costs, tax, subtotals, discounts, etc.

The features are referred to as “perks” because you’ll need to install the main Gravity Perks plugin before you can access any of them. From there, you can install individual perks that you wish to use.

Because everything is modular, you have complete control over what codes end up on your site’s server.

 

Which Features Gravity Perks Bring?

Here are all Perks that you have access with Gravity Perks plugin:

1. GF Auto Login

The GF Auto Login perk allows you to login users automatically once they’re registered on your site using a Gravity Form. You can automatically redirect users to a URL, WordPress page, or display them a text confirmation.

 

2. GF Better User Activation

This perk can be used to manage your User Registration Activation page. Pick a particular page on your website and modify it as you see fit. Users will then be brought to this page automatically after they’re registered on your site.

 

 

3. GF Blacklist

This perk can be used to validate field values against WordPress’ Comment Blacklist validation. The GF Blacklist feature can be set up to evaluate a single field, multiple fields, or all fields that are contained within a form. An error message will be displayed to the end-user if any content they’ve entered into the form has been blacklisted.

 

4. GF Conditional Logic Dates

Conditional Logic Dates perk can be used to show or hide fields according to times and dates. The perk lets you use conditional logic to set date fields in your forms. The perk integrates perfectly with the conditional logic UI that’s already in Gravity Forms.

 

5. GF Conditional Pricing

Conditional Pricing perk allows you to create your own pricing levels for each Gravity Forms product field. It’s a real time saver for people who just want to have a one product field with a variable price.

There’s no need anymore to create different product fields. The simple interface makes it incredibly easy to determine pricing levels for even the most complicated price variations.

 

6. GF Copy Cat

This perk can be used to copy the values from one field to another field after the respective checkbox has been selected. It’s a nice feature that comes in handy in certain situations, such as when a customer’s billing and shipping addresses are the same.

In this case example, information that the user enters into particular fields can be copied from the billing address fields to the shipping address fields.

The GF Copy Cat feature can also be used for copying data into different fields after the information has been entered. For instance, a customer’s first and last name could automatically populate into a Name section of a credit card field once the person has filled in that information on one of the forms.

 

7. GF Date Time Calculator

Date Time Calculator perk allows you to add time and date fields to any Gravity Forms calculations that are done. You can use any date, number, and time combinations to create an almost endless amount of calculations.

 

 

These calculations can be added to any field that usually supports them. You can use this option to draft forms that track order shipment hours and days, offer time-based pricing, use birth dates to see how old a particular customer is, and other time and date-related calculations.

 

8. GF Disable Entry Creation

To function correctly, Gravity Forms requires an entry to be created. The GF Disable Entry Creation perk lets you delete this entry and any associated files that go along with it automatically after the submission process is complete.

 

9. GF Easy Passthrough

This perk simplifies the transfer of information between different Gravity Forms. Creating an easy passthrough configuration eliminates the need for customizing specific confirmation query strings and creating dynamic parameter names.

 

10. GF eCommerce Fields

The eCommerce Fields perk can be used to add several eCommerce field types to Gravity Forms. You can add a discount, subtotal and tax pricing fields. The plugin also helps to improve shipping and coupon field functionality of Gravity Forms’ Coupons and Shipping fields.

It also provides support for coupon, discount, and subtotal merge fields as well as order summary merge tags that appear in order notifications and confirmations.

 

11. GF Email Users

You can use this feature to email customers that have filled out forms on your site that contain email fields.

 

12. GF Expand Textareas

This perk makes it easier to work with text areas. It opens expanded text areas in a modal window every time it is used. The text area is larger than most text boxes, which makes it more readable and simpler to navigate, especially when scrolling through large amounts of text.

 

13. GF Limit Checkboxes

The GF Limit Checkboxes perk allows you to set limits on the number of checkboxes that a user can select in a certain time period. You can set maximum and minimum limits, which can be applied across multiple different fields.

 

14. GF Limit Choices

This perk can be used to limit the number of checkboxes, radio buttons, drop-down menus, and other similar options that can be used in a multi-choice field. It also works with option and product field input types.

 

15. GF Limit Dates

You can use this perk to limit the number of dates that can be chosen in Gravity Forms Datepicker fields. Its granular control lets you control the date range in forms.

 

16. GF Limit Submissions

The GF Limit Submissions perk lets you decide how many times your forms can be submitted, who can submit your forms, where your forms can be submitted, and where your forms can be sent.

Submission limits can be created according to the page that a particular form is being submitted from, a person’s role or IP, the user submitting the form, or any field value on the form.

 

17. GF Live Preview

You can use this perk to preview your forms before they go live on your website. You no longer need to first configure the Gravity Forms shortcode and publish the page to see how the form will look on the frontend.

 

 

18. GF Media Library

This perk allows you to add any uploaded images or documents into your WordPress Media Library automatically any time a form is submitted.

 

19. GF Multi-Page Navigation

The GF Multi-Page Navigation perk allows easier navigation through multi-step forms. For most pages, Gravity Forms default the “previous” and “next” page navigation buttons should suffice. However, for more detailed, complex forms or forms that span multiple pages, this add-on comes in handy.

 

20. GF Nested Forms

Having a nested form option gives you the ability to choose a form that will be used to gather “child” entries that will be added on to the “parent” form after submission. All information in the child form is presented in a clear, concise table on the parent form. Data contained in the child form can be added, edited, or deleted.

 

21. GF Pay Per Word

This perk lets you create product fields that calculate the total based on how many words are contained in a Post Body or Paragraph field.

 

 

The Pay Per Word function automatically counts the number of words in the designated field and uses the pre-determined cost per word to calculate the total price for each Pay Per Word item.

 

22. GF PayPal One-time Fee

You can use this feature to add a one-time charge to the first payment of a PayPal subscription. For instance, you may decide to add an initial setup fee for the provided service.

PayPal itself doesn’t support subscriptions or one-time fees added to subscriptions. But it supports the trial period. Using this, the plugin can simulate a one-time nominal fee for various PayPal subscriptions.

 

23. GF Placeholder (deprecated)

The GF Placeholder perk gives you the ability to import HTML5 placeholders to any Gravity Form fields. Placeholders are brief hints that appear inline in form input areas and help users fill out form fields.

NOTE: Gravity Forms now includes this feature. Perk is no longer required unless you want to add extra placeholders for any List fields that you may have.

 

24. GF Populate Anything

Populate Anything perk can be used to populate and filter field values and choices with Gravity Forms entries, databases, posts, taxonomies, terms, and users. Values and choices can be filtered according to values that were already added to selected data fields. This allows you to retrieve and populate current information each time a user interacts with one of your forms.

 

25. GF Post Content Merge Tags

You can use the GF Post Content Merge Tags perk to merge tags within your WordPress content. You only need one confirmation page for multiple forms. This feature can help improve your confirmation page layouts and style.

 

26. GF Preview Submission

This feature gives you the option of adding simple submission previews to forms. This perk allows your users to review the information they’ve entered before confirming their submission.

 

27. GF Price Range

The Price Range function can be used to set your maximum and minimum price ranges for your User Defined Price product fields. It adds a simple user interface where you can set your maximum and minimum price range.

The perk automatically enforces this price range every time the particular form is opened. If the user enters a price that’s outside the price range, a validation error will appear.

 

28. GF Read Only

This perk lets you set certain form fields to be read-only. Read-only fields will be visible but can’t be edited. Site users can “read” field values but can’t change them in any way.

This option can be useful when you want to present data in a form that users can’t modify. For example, you may want to set specific text areas or paragraphs as read-only information.

 

29. GF Reload Form

The GF Reload Form function lets you add a special link into the confirmation message for any of your AJAX-enabled forms. The link will reload your form with additional submissions once clicked.

This will occur without requiring the page to refresh. You can also select to have the page reload after a certain number of seconds have elapsed.

 

30. GF Terms Of Service

This feature gives you the ability to add a Terms of Service section to your Gravity Forms. It can be added in the same way as any other field.

Some of the perk’s options include shortcode and HTML support and mandating site users to scroll down to the bottom of the terms of service agreement before they can agree to them.

 

31. GF Unique ID

The GF Unique ID perk allows you to add a unique ID field type. This field will generate a new unique ID for each entry after it’s been submitted. Numeric, sequential, and alphanumeric IDs are just some of the available options.

 

32. GF Word Count

Word Count perk lets you set word limits for a paragraph, single line, and post body text fields. You can set maximum and minimum amounts of words for your fields. Any form using this feature that’s been submitted will review the form and count how many words are contained.

The form will be returned with an error message if the minimum is not met or if the maximum is exceeded.
