AcquisitionSuite – Lead Generation, Gated Downloads & Form Builder
·
WordPress lead generation plugin: gate PDF & file downloads behind a lead capture form, build custom forms, and automate follow-up emails.
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 10 field types (text, email, phone, number, 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>
