AcquisitionSuite – Lead Generation, Gated Downloads, Email Sequeuces & Form Builder

AcquisitionSuite turns ordinary file downloads into a complete lead generation system. Gate any file — PDF, ZIP, video, image, or document — behind a lead capture form, then automatically follow up with every person who downloads.

The plugin is built in two tiers. The free Lite version gives you a complete lead capture and file gating system. The optional Pro extension adds marketing automation, email sequences, lead scoring, paid downloads, and more.

Use AcquisitionSuite as your

• Lead magnet plugin — turn any PDF, ebook, checklist, or video course into a gated lead magnet that captures an email address before download.
• Content upgrade plugin — gate bonus content inside blog posts to grow your email list.
• WordPress form builder — build multi-field contact, registration, and appointment forms with conditional logic, with no file required.
• File download manager with email capture — track every download, every submission, and every lead in one dashboard.
• Email list building tool — every lead syncs straight to Mailchimp, Brevo, or MailWizz on submission.

What you get with Lite (free)

• Secure File Upload — files are stored in a protected directory. Direct URL access is blocked.
• URL-Gated Files — gate an external link (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) instead of uploading great for large files like video courses.
• Signed, Time-Limited Download Links — every download token is single-use and expires after a configurable window.
• Lead Capture Modal — a polished, fully responsive popup form collects visitor details before granting access. Header colour, accent colour, title, and subtitle are all configurable.
• Custom Form Builder — build multi-field custom lead capture forms with conditional logic, drag-and-drop reordering, and 12 field types (text, email, phone, link, number, textarea, dropdown, radio, checkbox, date, country, hidden).
• Standalone Forms — use any form on its own, with no file attached, for appointments, registrations, or any other lead capture. Choose an Embedded or Popup Modal display style.
• Multiple Ways to Place a Form — inline shortcode or a native Gutenberg block.
• Email Delivery — choose instant download, email-only delivery, or both. Branded HTML email templates fully editable from Settings.
• ESP Integrations — subscribe leads to Mailchimp, Brevo (Sendinblue), or MailWizz on form submission.
• Leads Management — full lead list with search, filter, and delete.
• Submissions Log — every form submission recorded with full field values.
• Analytics — download counts and lead source breakdowns.
• CSV Export — export all leads and submissions.
• Settings — configure email, branding, delivery, file types, and data retention.

Shortcode Usage

Display a gated download:

[acquis_download id="123"]

Customize the button label:

[acquis_download id="123" label="Download the Guide"]

Use a specific form:

[acquis_download id="123" form="3"]

Display a standalone form (appointment, registration, or any lead capture not gating a file) — new in 3.6.0:

[acquis_form id="3"]

Override its display style:

[acquis_form id="3" display="embedded"]

display accepts `embedded` or `popup` in Lite (Pro adds `floating`). Leave it out to use whatever is configured on the form itself.<h3>Support</h3>
