Questions?

Frequently asked.

Pricing, plans, refunds, WordPress requirements, integrations, the launch coupon — short answers to the questions that come up most.

Do I have to buy add-ons for file uploads, webhooks or Mailchimp?
No. Every premium feature — file uploads, webhooks, Mailchimp, MailerPress, Emailit, submission limits, logged-in forms, data management — is bundled with your purchase. One price, everything included.
How many sites can I use it on?
Unlimited. Both the Yearly and the Lifetime plan cover every personal and client site, with no per-site activation count.
What’s the difference between Yearly and Lifetime?
Both plans give you the exact same plugin, every premium feature, every integration, and unlimited sites. Yearly ($59/year) renews annually and is the lower-friction way to start. Lifetime ($249 one-time) is a single payment, every update forever, no renewals — it pays for itself after about four years vs. Yearly. Pick whichever fits your cashflow.
Is there a discount?
Yes — use code CFLAUNCH at checkout for 20% off either plan. That brings Yearly to $47/year and Lifetime to $199 once.
What’s your refund policy?
14 days, no questions asked. If Core Forms isn’t the right fit, email us and we’ll refund you — no forms to fill out.
Can my forms take payments?
Yes. Connect Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Polar.sh, or FluentCart under Settings → Payments. A form can charge a fixed or customer-entered amount, while product checkout can route each currency to one or more compatible gateways. Paid actions run only after the gateway confirms payment.
Can Core Forms replace WooCommerce?
Core Forms can replace a larger store plugin when you sell paid submissions, digital downloads, plugins, themes, or software licenses. Use WooCommerce for physical inventory, shipping, complex tax rules, marketplaces, or a large retail catalog. Core Forms can also hand a submission to WooCommerce or FluentCart when those systems are the better fit.
Does Core Forms work with FluentCart?
Yes — Core Forms hands form submissions off to FluentCart’s checkout for any product variation, free or Pro, one-time or subscription. Address fields collected on the form prefill the FluentCart checkout (and feed its tax engine), and paid orders flip the submission to <em>paid</em> automatically through fluent_cart/order_paid_done.
Can I use Core Forms on Astro, Next.js or a non-WordPress site?
Yes. Set a site-wide API key under Settings → Headless, flip the per-form Headless toggle, and copy a snippet — drop-in vanilla JS widget, native fetch, or cURL. The form renders on your headless front-end and submissions run through the same validation, captcha and action loop server-side in WordPress.
What version is Core Forms on right now?
Core Forms 4.7.1 (July 28, 2026) is the latest release. It keeps standalone and fullscreen forms fully styled and responsive even when the built-in theme is disabled for embedded forms. The 4.7 line also introduced a unified admin workspace, Form Theme Customizer, portable data migration, redesigned Core Commerce experience, and customer workspace. Full release notes are on the Changelog page.
What are the WordPress requirements?
WordPress 6.4 or higher and PHP 8.1 or higher. Core Forms is built to be lightweight and is tested on the latest WordPress release.
Does it work with block themes and the site editor?
Yes. Core Forms ships a native Gutenberg block, works anywhere shortcodes are allowed, and plays nicely with FSE, Bricks, GenerateBlocks and classic themes.
