Everest Forms Save and Continue

Description

The Save and Continue addon inserts a save button in Everest Forms forms, generating a unique link for the user to resume completion from where they left off. It is suitable for reducing abandonment in long forms such as job applications, extensive surveys, multi-step checkouts, and educational registrations, with retention period configurable directly in the Everest Forms form settings.

Targeted at administrators who notice high abandonment rates in complex Everest Forms, the Save and Continue addon adds the save-and-resume flow as a native module. The addon works alongside already configured integrations in the core plugin, such as Mailchimp and PayPal Standard, keeping the Everest Forms ecosystem consistent while extending long data-collection cycles.
