Ninja Forms +
Save Progress

Let your users save their work and reload it all when they have time to return. Don't lose out on valuable submissions for longer forms!

Longer forms traditionally get completed less often. It’s a common reality in the course of a hectic business day. With five minutes here and ten minutes there between tasks, many users simply don’t have the time to complete long WordPress forms. Save Progress is your solution!

  • Are your longer forms being submitted less often?
  • Have lots of users visit a page but not complete the form there?
  • Want to substantially increase the conversion rate of any longer/Multi-Part form?

Save Progress adds the ability for any registered user to save a form in the state that it’s in, then return to complete it later. Non-registered users will have their form saved locally so that they don’t have to refill completed fields. This add-on is loaded with extras as well, like email notifications for saved forms and customizable success messages on save.

Give registered users the ability to Save Progress at any time, create multiple saves, edit saves, and more!

Save Progress greatly increases the chance that a registered user will have the time to finish your WordPress forms. When any user has the ability to return and complete without backtracking over data they’ve already given you once, your conversion rates will improve!

Easily enable saving for any form

You’ll see a new field named Save appear in your list of common fields with this add-on activated. Simply drop that field anywhere on any form to have a save button appear in that exact location on the form.

Let users cleanly manage multiple saves

Any saved form will have a customizable Load Saved Progress table at the top tailored to the specific user viewing it (and is absent if no saves are present). The user can select from any save they have made and load that save. They can also edit any save on the table.

Manage a full record of user saves from the dashboard

Every save is recorded in your admin dashboard for easy viewing. Saved forms can be edited if desired. You can also move forms from a saved state to a completed submission.

Need to offer non-registered users the ability to save? No problem.

Simple enable local browser storage in the settings menu of Save Progress to grant non-registered users the ability to save their work. A copy of the form will be saved via cookie in the state that it was in when the user navigated away from the page. When they return, they will not have to backtrack over any previously completed work.

Trigger any action on save

With Save Progress activated, you have the ability to trigger any action on save. Send email notifications when a user saves a form. Customize a unique success message to be presented when a form is saved. Any other action normally available to you can be set to trigger when a form is saved as well.
