What Is Gravity Forms Import Entries?
Gravity Forms Import Entries is developed by GravityKit (formerly GravityView) and is a forms plugin for WordPress. It serves as a bridge for site owners who need to move data from external spreadsheets, legacy databases, or other form plugins into the Gravity Forms ecosystem. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for data management.
The plugin solves the lack of a native import feature within Gravity Forms. It is designed for developers and site managers who need to transfer entries between sites, bulk-update existing records, or create new forms automatically from existing CSV structures.
Gravity Forms Import Entries Features
The feature set is built around a guided import process that prioritizes accuracy and high performance for large datasets.
Advanced Field Mapping and Validation
GravityImport allows users to map CSV columns to any core Gravity Forms field type, including standard, advanced, and pricing fields. The plugin performs real-time validation to block buggy or incomplete entries, ensuring that data is only created if it matches the required field formats. This is crucial for maintaining a clean database during large-scale automation tasks or migrations.
Bulk Updates and User Registration
Beyond creating new entries, the plugin can modify existing records if the CSV contains an Entry ID column. It integrates deeply with official add-ons, allowing users to trigger feeds or create WordPress users via the User Registration Add-on during the import process. GravityImport simplifies complex tasks like mass password resets or profile updates by processing CSV data through existing form workflows.
High Performance and Error Handling
The import engine is optimized to handle thousands of rows without timing out. If errors occur, the plugin generates a specialized CSV file containing only the failed rows. This allows administrators to correct specific data points (such as invalid email formats) and re-upload only the necessary items without duplicating the entire set.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the standalone plugin begins at $99 per year for a single site license. Access via WPExclusive provides a more cost-effective path for those managing multiple projects.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single License | $99/year | 1 Site | Plugin + Support |
| GravityKit All-Access | $396/year | Unlimited | Full Suite |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | GravityImport + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers GravityImport plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.

When moving a website or consolidating multiple subdomains, GravityImport allows you to export entries from one site and import them perfectly into another. This preserves entry metadata and file attachments without manual SQL migrations in the administration panel.
Bulk Creating WordPress Posts
By mapping CSV data to Gravity Forms Post Fields, users can generate hundreds of WordPress posts or custom post types instantly. This is frequently used for directory site builds or importing catalog data into a searchable front-end interface.
Agencies and Developers Managing Multiple Client Sites
Agencies can use GravityImport to quickly seed client sites with test data or migrate large customer lists into form databases. A WPExclusive membership makes this efficient by providing the plugin for use across an unlimited number of client projects without per-site license fees.
