What Is Gravity Forms User Registration Addon?
Gravity Forms User Registration Addon is developed by Gravity Forms and is a forms plugin extension for WordPress. It is professional-grade software relied upon by thousands of web professionals to handle complex signup workflows. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for data capture and user management.
The plugin solves the problem of manual account creation by automating the registration process for memberships, courses, and client portals. It is designed for site owners who need to register users on WordPress directly from their front-end forms.
Gravity Forms User Registration Addon Features
The feature set is built around automating the WordPress user lifecycle and integrating with the broader site ecosystem.
Account Creation and Automation
Automatically register WordPress users the moment a form is submitted. You can assign specific WordPress user roles such as Subscriber or Contributor, ensuring new signups have the correct permissions immediately. The plugin allows you to map form fields to custom user meta, effectively building comprehensive user profiles during the initial signup phase.
Payment Gateway Integration
Connect your registration forms to Stripe, PayPal, or Square to charge for access. Use this within ecommerce setups to ensure user accounts are only created after a successful payment transaction is confirmed. This prevents the creation of inactive or unpaid accounts on your site database.
Multisite and BuddyPress Support
Enable automatic website creation within a WordPress Multisite network, providing each registrant with their own network site. The plugin also integrates with BuddyPress to populate custom profile fields from form data. This ensures consistent data across different community and social networking components of your site.
Pricing
The User Registration Addon is an Elite Add-On, typically available only with a valid Elite License from the developer. Retail pricing for this license level is significant, but WPExclusive members access it as part of their standard plan.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elite License (Retail) | $259/year | Unlimited | All Add-ons |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | User Registration Addon + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers User Registration Addon plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than the cost of one premium license.
