What it does
Taking a request through a form and then building an invoice by hand is slow and invites typing mistakes. This add-on removes that second step. When someone submits a Ninja Forms form, the plugin creates an invoice or a quote in GetPaid using the details they entered. If the submitted email does not match an existing customer, a new customer record is created for you, which keeps your client list organized without extra admin work.
Setup happens inside the form settings. You map form fields to invoice data points, choose whether the form should produce an invoice or a quote, and publish the form with no coding needed. Customer email is the required field, while name, business details, address, phone, VAT number, items and descriptions are optional. Merge tags and email actions let you notify admins and customers about each new invoice or quote. It suits freelancers, small businesses and agencies who already run Ninja Forms.
Best for
- Freelancers who quote or bill clients through website forms
- Small businesses already using Ninja Forms and GetPaid
- Agencies handling invoice requests for client sites
Features
Invoices and quotes from submissions
Each form submission can generate an invoice or a quote in GetPaid automatically, cutting out manual data entry and the errors that come with it.
Custom field mapping
Choose exactly which form fields feed each invoice or quote detail, right inside the form settings, so documents match the information you collect.
Automatic customer creation
When a submitted email is not already in your records, a new customer is created, keeping your client list current without extra effort.
Required and optional fields
Customer email is required, and you can also collect name, business info, address, phone, items and descriptions to build fuller invoices and quotes.
VAT number field
A dedicated VAT number field lets business customers supply their tax details on the form so they carry over to their billing documents.
Merge tags support
Use merge tags to pull submitted form values into messages and content, so communications reflect each customer's own details.
Email notifications and actions
Trigger email workflows that notify admins and customers about new invoices or quotes, helping everyone stay informed about what is owed.
Ready form templates
Included form templates give you a starting point for invoice and quote forms, which you can adjust to fit your own fields.
Questions about Ninja forms
Which plugins do I need for this add-on to work?
It connects two plugins: Ninja Forms, which handles your forms, and GetPaid, which handles invoices and quotes. Both need to be on your site, since the add-on maps Ninja Forms submissions into GetPaid billing documents.
Can one form create quotes instead of invoices?
Yes. In the form settings you select whether submissions should produce an invoice or a quote. That makes it possible to run a quote request form for new inquiries alongside a separate form that bills customers directly.
What happens if a new person submits the form?
If the email address entered does not belong to an existing customer, the add-on creates a new customer record automatically. Returning customers are matched by email, so your client list stays organized without manual cleanup.
Do I need to write code to map the fields?
No coding is needed. You map form fields to invoice or quote data points from within the form settings, choose the document type and publish. Customer email is the only required field, and the rest are optional.
Is Ninja forms free?
The code of Ninja forms is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Ninja forms is this?
Version 2.0.0, released Jan 23, 2023. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Ninja forms?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Ninja forms automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
