OFFLINE FORMS ADDON

In computing, a plug-in (or plugin, add-in, addin, add-on, or addon) is a software component that adds a specific feature to an existing computer program. When a program supports plug-ins, it enables customization.

The key to getting the most from your forms is to make it as easy as possible for visitors to submit their forms once started.

Getting disconnected from the internet when trying to submit a form is enough to make most people give up forever… meaning that lead is lost to you.

That’s why this great feature has been created: an offline form submission mode to make it easy for your users to save their data even when they’re disconnected.

Everything they enter into your forms will be saved in their browser, even if they close the tab or completely exit their browser.

When their internet connection is restored, they can quickly regain their information and send it over to you. Now offline mode for forms is easy to enable just by checking a box.

This makes it easy not only for your users with spotty internet connections but also for:

Offline data collection such as checklists, auditing, and inspections in places with no internet connection.
Offline surveys so you can easily collect responses in the field without the internet.
Events where Wi-Fi can be spotty.

Now you and your users can save time by quickly filling out forms from anywhere and then submitting them when the connection is restored. Combined with the WPForms Form Abandonment Addon, you’ll never lose the crucial data you need. We took the pain out of creating online forms and made it easy.
