One of the most popular parts of Wufoo is our Form Gallery. For several years, we’ve offered high quality form templates in 12 different categories that can either be installed directly to your Wufoo account with a single click or downloaded as a zip of just the HTML markup and related CSS files. Our premade templates and themes have been downloaded over 13 million times and we’re really excited to announce that we’re expanding it!

We’ve added over 90 new templates to the gallery and we think you’re really going to love them. Obviously, we can’t highlight all of them in this blog post, but here’s a few we thought were worth highlighting:

• Wedding Planning Survey
• Product Evaluation Existing Product
• Non-Profit: Volunteer Interests & Skills
• Fundraising Ideas
• Community Satisfaction
• Marketing Planning Survey
• Employee Satisfaction Training Development
• Win/Loss Survey: Business Lost
• Hypothesis Testing Research

Hello fellow Wufooers! Last year, the Wufoo Team went all out working with our brothers and sisters at SurveyMonkey to migrate a number of our services to their super snazzy infrastructure and billing platform. With these improvements now in place and all our vegetables eaten, we’re ready to hire some new friends to help us work on dessert! Today, we’re looking to add two talented and passionate individuals to come work with our awesome team to take Wufoo to the next level.

Both of these positions come with a lot of responsibility, but also a freedom to design and build for an audience unlike any other. If you’re looking to work alongside some of the very best at creating delightful experiences on the web, please consider applying and joining our team!

Product Manager (Palo Alto, CA)

Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci and Machiavelli were friends back in the day? Yeah, they tried to steal a river once. Our ideal candidate for this position embodies the spirit of their friendship, ingenuity and audacity to change the world. Like them, you’ll need to be a true Renaissance man (or woman) and be able to juggle both the practical requirements of our unique technology stack and the hearts and minds of our beloved users.

Product Managers at Wufoo also have a proud tradition of leading their teams not through written specs, but inspirational design. That means you’ll need to show you have a good eye, a strong sense of taste and a background in user experience and design. People who can wireframe and build their own rapid prototypes will be most desired.

Web Application Developer (Palo Alto, CA)

Engineers at Wufoo are a special breed. They tend to be part Nikola Tesla and part Disney Imagineer. We like them to be experts in their field, surprisingly humble and love what they do in a way they cannot hide it.

We’re looking for people with a penchant for innovative front-end engineering that pushes the envelope of what web apps can do while putting smiles on peoples faces. You should be able to gracefully balance performance, elegance and wit both in your code and in your interactions with our users and fellow teammates.

About Working for Wufoo and SurveyMonkey

You won’t meet a nicer group of talented people. Plus, we offer competitive salaries, medical/dental benefits, PTO, 401k, paid holidays, and equity compensation. As always, we’re an equal opportunity employer, meaning there’s no reason you shouldn’t apply if you think you have what it takes. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey there, hi there, ho there folks! We’re already into the second week of the brand spanking New Year, can you believe it? In keeping with the spirit of all things shiny and fresh, we’re super stoked to bring you the latest scoop in Wufoo payment integrations. We’ve partnered with the amazing (and brainy) folks over at Braintree, who are providing elegant and hassle-free online payment solutions. Great design and painless implementation? We can definitely dig and we’re excited to share this with all of you.

Braintree offers instant underwriting so you can be up and ready to start taking credit card payments in about the same amount of time it’d take you to catch the closing credits of a Young Justice episode. And again, it’s hassle-free to get started- just sign up and you’ll be on your way.

Another feature that stands out with Braintree are their international payment options. In addition to the US and Canadian dollar, Braintree can process payments in over 130 currencies and is available for online companies in all of Europe and Australia. Getting into that many different types of currencies can take months to start the integration process so we love that Braintree is able to provide this. Going global with your forms and seeking an international payment solution? This may be your answer!

Braintree also offers a simple pricing structure of 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction. There aren’t any pesky sign up fees, credit card storage fees, or contract terms. Due to Braintree’s instant approval process, most merchants are approved within minutes and able to process payments immediately. To find out more, visit this helpful FAQ.

Braintree has helped thousands of other startup companies get their feet off the ground with their unique payment solutions and we can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.

Also, you spoke and we listened— We’re reviewing the possibility of expanding recurring billing features for some of our payment providers in 2013 so stay tuned!

Huge thanks goes out to the awesome brains over at Braintree for inviting us to participate: Jenna Wyer, James Hyde, Jen Busenbark, Hammer, Emma Peterson, Michael Nussbaum, Eric Nelson and Matt Sommer. Over on our end, we’ve gotta thank Larry Kuang, the engineer who made most of the magic happen.

Here’s to Wufoo and Braintree!

The holidaze may be over but that doesn’t mean the party needs to stop. Events and big get-togethers are year-round affairs and if you’ve ever been responsible for organizing one- then listen up! This integration is for you.

MobiCheckin is an easy, innovative way people check-in for events using their mobile phone. With its mobile first approach, attendees no longer have to fumble with paper tickets at the door. It also works offline in case connectivity challenges arise at the event.

Thanks to the integration with Wufoo, attendees can now register with their mobile phones just as easily for the event. They simply fill out the Wufoo form and are automatically added to the guest list with MobiCheckin. In a few clicks, an email arrives with a unique QR code that can be scanned at the event door. Boom - easy event registration and check-in all available with MobiCheckin!

To Use This Integration

1. You’ll need an account on Wufoo as well as one on MobiCheckin. Wufoo has both free and paid plans and MobiCheckin offers a free product for up to 150 event attendees.

2. Create a form on Wufoo or add one to your account from our gallery, including the appropriate event registration information.

3. Follow this instructional video on how to integrate that form into your MobiCheckin account:

Big shout-outs are due to Sébastien Saunier, Tristan Verdier and the team at MobiCheckin for their hard work on this integration! Looking to join up your web app with Wufoo? Be sure to check out our Ultimate Guide for Integrating with Wufoo!

If you can believe it- we barely can ourselves- 2012 is almost through and with just a few weeks left on the calendar, we figured now was as good a time as any to take a look back at what’s been done and what’s to come both at Wufoo and at SurveyMonkey.

Way back at the beginning of the year, we were super excited to introduce to you all our spiffed-up redesign of the Wufoo site. Thanks again to all of you who took the time to scope it out back in January and for the awesome comments and feedback. 2012 was also the year we got to say ¡Hola! In addition to the 46 different languages that were always available to your form users- our marketing, support and application could now be delivered to our Spanish-speaking friends. And we of course can’t forget our second ever BarCamp Tour of 2012! We hope to take BarCamp out for a spin yet again so keep an eye out for us next year.

Springtime at Wufoo brought forth not just spring showers (just kidding, rain on the Peninsula??) but some snazzy updates in browser support charts for HTML 5 and some nifty partnerships to help keep your CRM nice and neat and to maintain that offline mobile forms magic. And them hazy days of summer brought us more integration superfriends to hang with like Mojaba and GroSocial, Zapier and Raven.

Gearing up for the holiday push at Wufoo meant adding yet another amazing payment integration for our users with the introduction of Stripe and last, but not least, we were proud to share the news that SurveyMonkey landed on Wired’s Top 10 List of Best Tech Companies to Work For- woohoo and it’s true.

Our own Kevin Hale has been putting in long man hours (or monkey hours for that matter) on SurveyMonkey’s Create Update, an exciting revamp of a classic in survey creation design. We hope you’ll get as much of a kick out of the look and feel to it as we have. More to come on the Create Update in 2013 and don’t worry, if you’ve missed out on any of SurveyMonkey’s product updates from the past year, you need only look here and get caught up.

From all of us at Wufoo, we thank you for another fantastic year. See you on the flip-side of 2013!

We here at Wufoo are thrilled that the hard-working folks at SurveyMonkey- our brothers and sisters in building great products and providing amazing service to our awesome customers- landed on the list of Wired Magazine’s top ten tech companies to work at. The Wufoo Team couldn’t agree more!

Hey, hey hustlers and go-getters! We’ve got some exciting news for those of you making money through Wufoo payment forms. To date, we’ve already helped our users collect over $100 million through our payment integrations. And in an effort to keep that money mojo flowing, we’re delighted to announce a new partnership with the smart people at Stripe, who are building one of the simplest developer-friendly ways to accept credit card payments on the web.

Before this new integration with Stripe, if you wanted to use the best version of our payment forms with our integrated payment checkout interface, which allowed you to process credit cards without having to redirect people off your website, you had to use a merchant provider that was going to put you through the paces in regards to paperwork, documentation and time.

Thanks to Stripe’s elegant APIs, instant underwriting and next generation infrastructure, our team got to focus on what we do best and offer the most streamlined way to leverage online payments through our beautifully designed web forms. Now, you can start collecting payments almost immmediately from inside Wufoo. If you don’t have a Stripe account, we can help you create a temporary one and guide you through the process of getting it activated without having to leave the comfort of our app. With just a few clicks, Wufoo + Stripe will put fund collection at your fingertips, help you avoid the hidden fees associated with page redirects, and provide complete pricing transparency.

Our new integration with Stripe, along with our growing arsenal of existing plug-ins for websites and CMS tools, makes collecting funds faster and easier than ever. Once you’ve enabled Stripe payments on your Wufoo form, simply embed it into any website, and watch the Benjamins roll in. We think this is going to be a game changer and we’re really proud to be a part of it.

Many thanks go out to the entire Stripe team for inviting us to participate in their new Stripe Connect program. Those guys know how to write an API. Specific shout outs go out to Patrick Collison, Ross Boucher, Billy Alvarado, Richard Burton and Ludwig Pettersson. Props for making the magic happen on our end should be given to our own Chris Campbell and Kate Brennan. Wufoo and Stripe – Semper Innovatus!

Easy to use. Drag and drop interface. Customer engagement.

Those terms are music to our ears at Wufoo. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our integration with GroSocial – a company who plays a similar tune. GroSocial provides instruments for all companies – even those without the resources to train or hire a dedicated social media team - to customize their Facebook Pages. That’s exciting as Facebook could be considered the orchestra of our online times.

Whew! We barely escaped the beat of that metaphor’s drum. With GroSocial and Wufoo, your Facebook fans can submit email subscriptions, employment applications, purchase forms, and event registrations, all without ever leaving your Facebook page.

To Use This Integration

1. You’ll need an account on Wufoo as well as on GroSocial. Wufoo has both free and paid plans and GroSocial has a free trial.

2. Create a form on Wufoo or start with a template from our form gallery.

3. Then follow this video on how to integrate that form into your GroSocial account and into Facebook:

Big thanks to Jon Walker and the team at GroSocial for their hard work on this integration! If you’re interested in integrating your web app with Wufoo, check out our Ultimate Guide for Integrating with Wufoo.

Hey all, we’re planning to move our entire infrastructure over to the SurveyMonkey datacenter this Wednesday, beginning at 5:30pm PST.

[View all dates and times]

This move will impact your forms in a few ways:

• From 5:30pm to ~7:00pm, you will not be able to create new accounts, new forms, or upload files. All other existing features and forms will work.
• The entire site will be offline for approximately 15 minutes. We anticipate this will start around 7:00pm - 7:30pm PST.

During the outage, your existing forms will show this downtime message. If you have any questions about the maintenance, don’t hesitate to send us a ticket.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience this causes — we hate bringing the site offline. We’re also really excited about the changes it will bring. Most importantly, we will have an entire in-house team handling networking, hardware and administration. We’ll improve our ability to proactively look at issues, and get thorough analysis when things go wrong. Additionally, the team has already begun optimizing our setup, so we’re anticipating everything will run faster and smoother.

Looking forward to seeing you on the other side.

The Wufoo Team

Hey, hey friends and friends of friends! Wufoo Team is checking in with some new plans for our devoted users who are in it with us for the long haul. On our plans and pricing page and under the Account Manager inside Wufoo, you can see that we’ve added a button to allow you to access our new annual plans!

Now you can conveniently pay for a year’s worth of service upfront and also save some money since the new annual plans offer a discount equivalent to about 3 months of service! So if you know that you’re going to need several forms active for a project for many, many months, then you’ll find these new annual plans to be budget friendly.

Many thanks to Chris Campbell and our brothers and sisters at SurveyMonkey for helping us rearchitect our billing system to accomodate these new annual plans. Please note that if you were manually setup on an annual plan by us in the past, there’s no need for you to make any changes. We’ll work with you and take of everything as you come up for renewal.

For users that want to or are currently being charged by invoice, we’re afraid these annual plans are just for users that are okay with being charged via credit card. Don’t worry, though. The ability to request invoice billing is the next phase in our billing improvements. Until then, happy form building!
