Getting Started with LifterLMS Gravity Forms

Overview

# Top

LifterLMS Gravity Forms allows you to require forms to be submitted in order for students to complete lessons.

If you utilize the Gravity Forms User Registration add-on you can additionally replace default LifterLMS user management forms (forms used during checkout, open registration, and account updates) with your custom Gravity Forms.

LifterLMS Gravity Forms does not include access to Gravity Forms itself!

LifterLMS Gravity Forms provides functionality to connect Gravity Forms with LifterLMS.

Gravity Forms is a separate plugin developed, maintained, and supported by a separate company. You can purchase a license to Gravity Forms at gravityforms.com.
