Formora – Form & Survey Builder with Payments (Laravel, Drag & Drop, Quizzes, NPS, PWA)

Formora - every form your organisation needs, in one place

Formora is a complete form and survey builder script for one organisation - a company, school, club, clinic or nonprofit. Your team builds registrations, payment forms, surveys with NPS, quizzes with certificates, polls, job applications and contact forms in a drag-and-drop builder with 38 field types and conditional logic, shares them with a link, an embed or a QR code, and reads the answers in a results table with charts and CSV / Excel / PDF exports.

People who fill forms never need an account. Forms take one-time payments with Stripe, PayPal, Paystack, Razorpay or bank transfer - no auto-renew - and every answer can go to Zapier, Make, n8n or your own server through signed webhooks. Light and dark theme, installable app, team roles with per-form access.

A builder your whole team can use

• Drag or click to add any of 38 field types in 7 groups: basic, choices, date & time, ratings & scales, advanced, payments, layout
• Options with prices, images and spot limits ("22 left", "Full - waitlist"), bulk add
• Show / hide logic for fields and whole pages with AND / OR rules and 14 operators; safe calculations
• Drafts, preview, publish with versions, undo / redo, desktop / tablet / phone preview, 36 templates

Registrations, orders and donations that pay

• Products, quantities, donation amounts and totals with a live order summary
• The server works out the real total; spots are checked under a lock
• Discount codes, sales tax (off / one rate / by US state - donations never taxed), receipt prefix
• One-time payments only - the form says it: nothing renews

Payments verified on the server

• Stripe (cards), PayPal, Paystack, Razorpay and bank transfer with receipt upload and approval
• Signed gateway webhooks that fail closed; unique transaction IDs; idempotent completion
• Keys stored encrypted, test and live mode, charge currency per gateway
• Payments ledger with refunds and CSV export

Every answer, in order

• KPIs per kind of form, search, filters by any answer, columns, bulk actions
• Response detail with files, signature, payment, tags, stars, notes and activity
• CSV, Excel and PDF exports; e-mail alerts, auto-reply with variables, weekly summary
• Signed webhooks with retries for Zapier, Make, n8n, Pabbly or your own server

See what people think

• NPS gauge with promoters, passives and detractors; stars, emoji, matrix heat map, ranking
• Completion funnel and drop-off by question
• Top phrases and the latest text answers
• Summary report as PDF

Score, pass and certify

• Percentage or points, pass mark, negative marking, partial points
• Result screens by score, correct answers and explanations, score by topic
• Time limit, shuffle, attempts with a wait between them
• PDF certificates with number, signature line and expiry

On your website in a minute

• Link with a custom address and prefilled links
• Inline embed, popup, side slider or floating button - height grows with the form
• QR code in PNG / SVG with your logo and a printable poster
• Public form portal with categories, search and an install-app card

Your brand on every form

• Per-form themes: 6 presets, colours, logo, background photo, font, corners, button style
• Site presets plus custom colour pickers - button text chosen automatically for WCAG AA
• Light theme by default and a full dark theme; installable app (PWA) with offline page
• Social networks with icon upload, languages with auto-translate, own pages and e-mail templates

What you get

• The complete script with the vendor folder and a browser installer (MySQL / MariaDB or SQLite) with optional demo data
• Demo data: a community center with a team of 7, 16 forms (camp registration with weeks and add-ons, volunteer sign-up, satisfaction survey, quiz, year-end giving, job application, room booking and more), about 9,000 responses, payments through every method and Spanish and Vietnamese translations, plus one-click demo logins
• Illustrated HTML documentation: installation (cPanel, VPS, Windows), cron, the builder, logic, layouts, quizzes, embeds, webhooks with signature examples, payments with webhook URLs, every settings area, demo mode and updates

Good to know

• One installation is one organisation and its team - people who fill forms need no account; defaults are USA, USD, English and America/New_York
• Payments are one-time (fees, orders, tickets, donations) - there are no subscriptions
• Automation apps connect through signed webhooks

Support and updates

Support covers installation questions and bugs. Updates come as a full package and a small update zip with a one-click update in the admin.
