Car Dealer User Guide

The theme comes with below 5 built-in lead forms. In addition, you can show/hide specific lead form forms using the Enable/Disable option in each form settings.

• Request More Info
• Make an Offer
• Schedule Test Drive
• Email To Friend
• Financial Form
• Trade-In Appraisal

Each form, except “Email To Friend”, will send emails in the three formats (HTML, ADF, and Text) with vehicle details. You can enable/disable and configure each mail format as per your requirements. The submitted details for each form (except “Email To Friend”) will be stored in the “Inquiries” section in the admin panel.

NOTE:

• To use the Google reCaptcha with lead forms, you will have to integrate your site with Google reCaptcha and provide “Site Key” and “Secret Key” in the “Google API Settings“ (Theme Options > Google API Settings)
• In the case of the “Inquiry Form” (“Car Dealer – Inquiry” widget), the inquiry information will be received without vehicle details, as it will be displayed on all pages where the sidebars appear.

Use “Contact Form 7”

You can also use “Contact Form 7” (hereinafter referred to as CF7) forms instead of a built-in custom lead form. We prepared all the lead forms in CF7 with the same field structure as built-in lead forms.

You can download the CF7 forms from the link below and import them using the WordPress Import tool.
