EDD Gravity Forms Checkout Addon is a bridge extension that allows site owners to create custom purchase forms for digital products using the Gravity Forms engine. This integration combines the form-building flexibility of one platform with the file delivery and reporting of the other. Users can now bypass traditional cart flows to sell items directly through any form layout.
WPExclusive members get access to Gravity Forms Checkout as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Easy Digital Downloads collection →
What Is EDD Gravity Forms Checkout Addon?
EDD Gravity Forms Checkout Addon is developed by Easy Digital Downloads and is an ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the ecommerce category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for digital storefronts and payment processing.
The plugin solves the limitation of rigid checkout pages by allowing customers to purchase products simply by filling out a form. This architecture allows developers to skip the standard cart process and use advanced form logic to drive sales.
EDD Gravity Forms Checkout Addon Features
The core feature set revolves around merging data entry with transaction processing.
Advanced Form Logic for Sales
Gravity Forms Checkout supports all standard field types, calculation fields, and conditional logic. This enables complex ecommerce scenarios where the price changes based on user input or specific options chosen within the form. Since it utilizes the native form engine, you can create dedicated purchase forms for any specific download product without touching theme templates.
Integration and Reporting
Even though the customer fills out a third-party form, the transaction details are funneled directly into the Easy Digital Downloads reporting landscape. Users still benefit from the platform’s robust digital file delivery system and purchase history logging. Customers who have an account can still view their complete purchase history and download links via their standard account page.
Flexible Payment and Addon Support
The plugin works with all official Gravity Forms payment addons and secondary extensions like MailChimp or User Registration. It gives store owners the ability to limit the number of allowed purchases or restrict when purchases can be made using the built-in form settings. Note that because the transaction occurs within the form, it uses payment gateways configured for the form rather than the primary store gateways.
