Formidable Forms Currency Fields Update

Approximate read time: 3 minutes

Nothing slows down your workflow like manually adding currency symbols, fixing decimal points, or formatting numbers so that they look right.

It's tedious, frustrating, and worst of all โ€” it's easy to make mistakes.

But what if your forms could handle all of that for you?

Well, you don't have to wonder because Formidable Forms just released its newest update: Currency Fields. With this feature, you can instantly format numbers as currency with just a one-click change.

No more worrying about misplaced commons, inconsistent currency symbols, or confusing number formats.

Just smooth, professional-looking currency formatting โ€” every single time.

Fewer headaches for you and your business

One thing is always true whether you're collecting payments, displaying prices, or managing financial data.

Clear and consistent currency formatting is essential.

But manually formatting every number? That's a headache you don't need. And that's where Currency Fields come in. With them, you can:

โœ… Save time with automatic formatting
โœ… Reduce errors and improve accuracy
โœ… Maintain consistency across all your forms

Best part? You set the currency settings once, and it works everywhere.

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

How it works

Using Currency fields is as simple as flipping a switch (or just choosing it from a dropdown).

Here's how simple it is:

  1. Create a form and add one of the currency-friendly fields (Text, Paragraph, Number, Slider, or Hidden).
  2. Choose Currency from the Format dropdown in the field settings
  3. Let Formidable do the work to apply symbols, commas, and decimal formatting automatically.

The settings panel includes options for field label, required status, and format selection, with 'Currency' chosen in the dropdown. A large red arrow highlights the currency format option. The form preview on the right displays a text input field labeled 'Text' and a 'Submit' button.

You may wonder how to set the currency symbol, decimals, etc. because it's not in the settings above. For that, we'll head to the Global Settings in Formidable so that the settings apply to every form, not just this current one (which saves you a ton of time in the future).

Under the General Settings tab, you can adjust your settings to match your exact needs:

The interface displays options for default email, from address, date format, and currency settings, with 'U.S. Dollar (USD)' selected. A large red arrow highlights the currency selection dropdown. The left sidebar menu includes various Formidable Forms options, such as Forms, Entries, Views, and Global Settings.

Once these are set, you're done! No more customization and no more setting changes.

Just set it, and forget it.

Where Currency Fields can help you

Believe it or not, most businesses can benefit from using currency fields.

As we mentioned earlier, inconsistent formatting can lead to serious issues. And solving that should be a top priority. But how exactly? Well, here are a few real-world scenarios:

  • Instant quotes: Automatically format prices when users request a quote so they see a professional-looking estimate.
  • Order & payment forms: Show properly formatted currency in checkout forms for less confusion.
  • Donations & fundraising: Ensure every contribution is displayed with the correct currency symbol and format.
  • Cost calculators: From mortgage calculators to service pricing tools, Currency Fields ensure numbers are easy to understand.

So, realistically, it isn't about whether currency fields can help you or not...it's how can't they?
