I&#8217;m presently using WPForms in this blog for my website contact page. After not relying on WordPress for much more than simple blog posts, I ended up using it for the site contact form. There&#8217;s a free lite version and I no longer get any spam at all &#8211; the main reason why I have been searching for a long time for a new contact form.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pleased at how easy it was to setup and use a form after a bit of initial floundering around. Now, however, there&#8217;s an opportunity built in!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_6462266221362640626h3\">It can now be integrated with Stripe payments!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you stay with the lite version, they will charge you an additional 3% but if you upgrade to the basic version it&#8217;s only $49 a year and no extra applied to the Stripe 3%.<\/p>\n<p>It integrates better than I expected &#8211; you can set up recurring payments which is missing in any module that I know of written for Zen Cart. (Alas, the Stripe payment module on Zen Cart hasn&#8217;t had a working version, though someone put\u00a0 out a new one in March. (It needs testing!)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m seriously considering installing it as it would make it easier for folks to signup\/send me money. But since I prefer folks talk to me first before paying for things like site evals, I may not.<\/p>\n<p>But the ability to insert a link in a WordPress blog post to a specific form for one product? Oh, man, what a great promotion tool!<\/p>\n<p>A caveat here: I still don&#8217;t like WordPress installations on the same website as Zen Cart and I feel it&#8217;s only appropriate if you are actually blogging. But since no one has been able to get a good anti-spam filter for the Zen Cart contact form and WordPress&#8217;s security has improved, perhaps it might be worth it to some customers. <a href=\"https:\/\/wiztech4zc.com\/blog\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let me know<\/a> and I&#8217;ll be glad to take care of it for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\\\"clearBoth><em> Author: Delia Wilson Lunsford, Founder &#038; CEO, WizTech, Inc. <\/em><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got some exciting news for Word Press users.
