The truth is, 70% of your website/ blog visitors will leave you without literally doing anything on your website.

And, I know how hard you worked to drive your visitors to your website, whether it is SEO, social media, or paid channels.

I heard from you!

So in this article, I’m introducing you to an advanced tactic- Exit popup implementation.

We use an online tool called OptinMonster for this implementing exit-intent popups.

Use this coupon code ‘KID‘ for 30% off on your purchase! A portion of your money will be donated to No Kids Hungry charity.

How does It work?

The exit-intent feature will retain your visitor on your website by providing them with engaging content.

When a user is scrolling up your website to find the address bar it is an indication that he/she is not interested in the content anymore.

This is when the low or medium sensitivity comes into action.

The exit-intent gives a message with great content.

Let’s look up a different scenario.

What if the user just clicks the back button instead of scrolling up.

Here, exit-intent sensitivity is high.

So you should choose the sensitivity as High.

The pop-up will show offers or discounts which the user might find interesting and make them want to remain on your site for even longer.

With the help of exit-intent and proper content, you can boost your conversions and bring up your sales.

OptinMonster also has unique templates for the pop-up messages which are to appear upon triggering the action.

This is an example of the template ‘Donate’.

There are different templates available in catching designs to increase customer retention rates and the number of leads.

What is more?

The templates are also customizable.

You can edit the content and add the content you wish that your users should see before leaving your website forever.

With the exit-intent feature from OptinMonster, boost your sales and increase your lead 2-4%.

Now you can collect PayPal payments through your WordPress website forms.

WPForms will allow you to accept payments by integrating PayPal into it.

Let’s see how to get it done in simple and easy steps.

Step 1: Installing PayPal Addon and Form Creation

Install and activate WPForms as well as PayPal addon s on to your WordPress website.

Once this is done, we’re going to add PayPal in your WPForms.

For this, first, you have to create a form.

In this example, we are creating a billing/order form.

The form appears with the default fields.

PayPal needs only a single field to work properly with WPForms.

Step 2: Add PayPal to the Form

Now let’s connect PayPal to your form.

Go to the Payments section and then PayPal Standard.

Check the ‘Enable PayPal Standard payments’ box.

You can fill in the remaining boxes and once you are ready, click on the ‘Save’ button to save the payment details.

Step 3: Set Up Conditional Logic

The conditional logic is a smart Form which changes the options on your forms based on the user’s selection.

To begin with, open the form builder, go to payments and then PayPal standard.

Tick the box labelled ‘Enable Conditional Logic’.

Now a set fo additional boxes will appear and you can decide when the user should be sent to PayPal to complete the payment process by filling in the details.

For example, you only need to send users to the Paypal only if they are willing to signup for the workshop.

For this, you will have to add a drop-down asking whether they would like to signup and allow them to choose from the options.

The users will only be taken to Paypal only if they would like to sign up for the workshop. 

This way you can condition your WPForm.

Step 4: Test your Form

You can test your WPForm by running a test entry by pretending to be a user.

Going all the way till the PayPal option and carrying out a small transaction is also highly recommended to ensure everything is working well.

In light of the present coronavirus situations, expanding businesses might seem tricky.

Wishing so hard that the spams don’t exist? 

Wondering how easy things would have been without those sneaky uninvited spam in your WordPress contact forms? 

Behold! WordPress listens to how its users think!

And what’s more, now you can build spam-free WPForms.

The steps are so easy that even a beginner can do it by following the guidelines. 

WordPress forms offer such a delight by enhancing the quality of your lead generation strategy by eliminating the risk of spam. 

How to Build a Spam-Free Contact Form Without CAPTCHA

The steps to creating a spam-free contact form without CAPTCHA is explained for uninterrupted user experience.

Entering the CAPTCHA might not be easy for every user. 

So the chances of form abandonment are at a higher rate. 

WPForms came up with a solution to this dilemma. 

Now you can add an invisible reCAPTCHA to your contact forms that doesn’t hinder the flow of submission.

Step 1: Create a Contact Form

Once you install and activate WPForms plugin, create a WordPress contact form. 

You can determine whether you need a simple contact form or a multi-step form based on your discretion. 

Step 2: Configure reCAPTCHA Settings

To configure your reCAPTCHA, you need to go WPForms > settings and then click on the reCAPTCHA tab. 

Below the reCAPTCHA tab, you will find two options – Checkbox reCAPTCHA v2 and Invisible reCAPTCHA v2.

Choose Invisible reCAPTCHA from the both.

You can create a reCAPTCHA for free from Google. It requires a site key and a secret key. 

To generate the keys, visit Google’s reCAPTCHA setup page. 

You will see an admin console button on the top right corner of the website. Click on that. 

Sign in to the admin console using your Google account and you will be redirected to a different page.

In this page, you can register your website for reCAPTCHA.

You will see a different screen if you have registered some other account for reCAPTCHA. To add a new website, just click on the plus sign. 

Enter your website in the label field.

Next, choose the reCAPTCHA type you wish to add to your website. 

Here, we have chosen invisible reCAPTCHA badge.

Once this is done, enter your website domain in the space provided. 

After entering a valid email address and accepting the reCAPTCHA terms and conditions, you can now click on the submit button to save your website. 

In the next page, you will see your website’s site key and secret key. 

Now you copy both the site key and secret key.

Reopen your WPForms settings page.

Ensure that the invisible reCAPTCHA v2 is chosen as type.

You will see space to enter site key and secret key.

Paste the copied keys in the provided space.

Once this is done, click on save settings to save the changes made. 

Step 3: Enable Invisible reCAPTCHA in your Contact Form

To enable invisible reCAPTCHA on you contact forms, go to settings and then editor in your form editor. 

After scrolling down, click on the ‘Enable Google invisible v2 reCAPTCHA’.

Click save.

You’ve successfully enabled invisible reCAPTCHA on your contact forms. 

Now Google will automatically detect if any spambots try to make a fake submission. 

Yet another method to automatically detect spam is by clicking on ‘Enable anti-spam honeypot’ from settings > general.

Honeypot detects the hidden field that a spambot fills in while making a submission.

This feature will automatically reject spambots after detecting the same. 

That’s it!
