By default, Contact Form 7 only supports the one-step form. This is one of the more serious limitations of the tool. However, sometimes we need a form to be completed in several steps. The Multi-step Form plug-in adds a multistep button to the form editing window. Clicking the button opens a multi-step pop-up. You can configure the total number of steps here. Each step is published as a unique URL, so you can take advantage of a simple redirection of the user to the next form.

Conditional Fields introduces a conditional logic extension to Contact Form 7 plugin for forms. It can be used in conjunction with the Multi-step add-on, where depending on the selected options of a step, we will be shown the corresponding fields in the next step. If a user fills out a multi-step form, most likely one question follows from another. In view of this, it is worth using the logic of previous answers. After installing the plugin, you will notice a new tag in the Contact Form 7 form settings: Conditional form fields. The screen below shows the principle of logical conditions between successive fields.
By selecting the Conditional Fields tab, you can specify their logic and give them appropriate values.

Many webmasters prefer to direct inquiries generated by the contact form to a dedicated e-mail address. The problem is that if the webmaster receives few requests, then he may not check his inbox regularly. This creates the risk of missing an important message. To prevent this, the Submissions plugin adds the sent request to the WordPress database, and the saved contact will be conveniently readable from the cockpit under the menu item: Contact > Submissions.

Contact Form 7 - as a free plug-in - is not integrated with payments. The solution is the PayPal plugin, which allows you to put the ability to make payments through the contact form completely for free. The contact form with the plugin in question will not work well for large stores, but if you sell a small number of products or services, the extension can realistically come in handy. A good example, in which the PayPal plugin will work great, is the sale of e-books, services by bloggers, designers or copywriters.
The PayPal plugin is very simple to set up and even easier to use. First of all, you need to add PayPal ID in the plugin's settings. Then you need to set the supported currency. In the next step, you need to open the form editing screen. You don't have to add all the fields. You can operate only on name, address and email, and expand the form if necessary. You also need to change the usual confirmation text to one that clearly conveys to the user that when he presses it, he will proceed to finalize the transaction - the flagship "Buy" usually works well here.
When you finish these operations, go to the PayPal tab. Now you need to activate PayPal and enter the product description, price and SKU number. When you complete the form, you will be automatically redirected to the PayPal transaction completion screen, where you will complete the process and finalize the transaction.

If you use a contact form, you would probably like to know where your users are coming from. If you want to add this feature to Contact Form 7, just use GeoIP detection and the Lead Info with Country plugin.
Both extensions are available in the official plugin repository. How it works. The Lead Info with Country plugin simply ties a user's IP address to where they are located, while GeoIP deciphers their location. All you need to do to install and use this functionality is to activate the plugins and update the GeoIP detection database. Besides, you need to add such a shortcode to the message content: [tracking-info]. Now these two plugins will present you with a fairly accurate location of the form user.

WordPress Customizer is a tool that allows you to preview changes to your site design in real time. Changes can include theme, color scheme, or widgets added to the site. The Contact Form 7 Customizer plugin works in the same way. It transfers the plugin's styling to the WordPress Customizer. After installing the plugin and publishing the contact form, all you have to do is open the Customizer tool on the right page, and then find the CF7 Customizer panel.
Attention:
During the installation of the plugin, you may be asked to connect your site to your Fremius.com account. This is not necessary, but it extends the functionality of the entire plugin.The plugin allows you to modify and customize the following elements:
The only limitation of the plugin is that you cannot edit or add contact form fields from within Customizer. You will still need to use the Contact Form 7 interface for this purpose.

If you don't want to spend time adjusting the settings of the various style and design options of the form, just install the Contact Form 7 Skins plugin and choose the skin you are interested in. The plugin has 9 templates to choose from, and each template supports 18 styles.

Electronic signature allows you to legally sign your e-documents. This plugin allows you to easily add a custom signature to your contact form. The signature lends credibility to your offer, and gets users to agree to the terms of the deal you dictate. The plugin inserts the signature tag into the editing screen of the contact form. Before using the plugin, you will need to configure the signature field - its color, dimension and optionality. The signature field doesn't have a border so it's a good idea to give it a slightly different color than the rest of the page. The contact form will look like this:
Now you can add a legally binding signature by drawing with your mouse or using a graphics tablet.
