Published: | Updated: | By Pilar Sterne

Even more powerful tools to grow your business


At POWr, our mission is to help small business grow their business online. That’s why we are constantly improving our plugins to give you, even more control and guidance in making your business thrive.

Here are just some of the sweet new features we released in 2018:


POWrMail: Professional emails to send to your customers and admins

Earlier this year, we launched a new email creator that lets you design beautiful mobile responsive emails to send to your customers and leads after form submission or purchase.



POWrMail is currently available to new Form Builder users, and all Popup, and PayPal Button users.


More ways to get paid: Stripe & PayPal Smart Buttons

Stripe payments in Form Builder are finally here! With the rollout of our most commonly requested feature, you can now take credit card payments directly in your form using Stripe.


Our plugins that process payments - PayPal Button, eCommerce, and Form Builder - now also offer PayPal Smart Payment Buttons. Smart Buttons allow buyers to use Venmo, PayPal Credit, or a localized payment method to send money to your PayPal account.


Automate what happens with your form answers using Zapier

Building email lists in Constant Contact, creating customer profiles in your Shopify store, or analyzing your feedback survey results in Google Sheet? No matter where you need your form answers, with our Zapier integration you can send your form data to pretty much any third-party software. Best of all, no tedious copy-pasting is ever required again -- all you need to do is select a template and POWr and Zapier will take care of the rest. 💁


Why limit yourself to collecting leads or getting more followers from just one page of your site? Introducing, fixed positions!



Us POWr rangers understand that the visibility of our plugins on your site is crucial for successfully collecting form data, getting more subscribers, promoting your sales and creating urgency. That’s why we added a new Fixed Position option to some of our most popular plugins.


  • Form Builder: add a little chat bubble or contact tab to the left, right, bottom, or top of your site and capture leads from any page of your site.
  • Popup: launch a popup on the click of a button on any page of any part of your site.
  • Social Media Icons: prominently place your social icons in a fixed position on the left, right, bottom, or top of the screen to turn even more of your site visitors to loyal followers.
  • Countdown Timer: Create urgency and convert visitors even better by displaying your countdown at the top or bottom of all pages of your site.


POWr Rangers around the World


POWr has always been a diverse bunch of people from all over the world - Kazakhstan, El Salvador, the UK, Nepal, to name a few. What’s new is that we no longer limit ourselves to working out of one (admittedly, extremely awesome) office in downtown San Francisco. In an effort to support our users around the clock, we hired support agents in the Philippines, Jamaica, Brazil, and Pakistan. We also opened a fancy new office in Kazakhstan and now have engineering coverage 24/7 should any issues with your plugins arise. 🔥🚒 Our international team is still growing - check out our Jobs page for our latest openings.
