Designed for site owners who rely on Recurly for sophisticated subscription handling, this integration ensures that every time a user submits a form, their data and payment details are securely passed to your Recurly account. Whether you are launching a membership site, a subscription box service, or a recurring donation program, this plugin streamlines your workflow, reduces manual data entry, and provides a seamless checkout experience for your customers.

Use Cases / Who It’s For
This plugin is the ideal solution for businesses and organizations that require robust, enterprise-grade subscription management but want to maintain a custom, branded experience on their WordPress site. It is perfectly suited for SaaS companies managing subscription sign-ups, membership-based community sites that need to handle recurring dues, and non-profit organizations managing monthly donor programs.
By using Ninja Forms Recurly, you avoid the limitations of generic payment forms. Instead, you gain the ability to build highly tailored intake forms that capture specific user data—such as survey responses, profile information, or custom preferences—alongside the payment transaction. This makes it an essential tool for store owners and developers who need to bridge the gap between user interaction and recurring revenue management.
Setup / How It Works
- Install and Activate: Install the Ninja Forms Recurly extension on your WordPress site alongside the core Ninja Forms plugin and activate both.
- Connect Your Account: Navigate to the plugin settings and enter your Recurly API credentials to establish a secure, authenticated connection between your website and your Recurly account.
- Configure the Form: Create a new form or edit an existing one in Ninja Forms. Add the necessary fields for your subscription process, such as name, email, and billing information.
- Map Fields: Within the form settings, locate the Recurly integration tab. Use the mapping interface to link your form fields to the corresponding data points required by your Recurly subscription plans.
- Publish and Test: Once configured, publish your form to your site. Perform a test submission to verify that the data is correctly sent to Recurly and that the subscription is created as expected in your dashboard.
