Dev Tools
A free toolkit that speeds up building, testing, and debugging Gravity Forms with preview controls, dummy data, and workflow shortcuts.
What it does
When you're building or troubleshooting Gravity Forms, you often need to jump between tools: previewing styles, generating test entries, simulating payments, and reading logs. Dev Tools brings all of that into one free plugin so you spend less time switching tabs and more time building.
You get a frontend form preview with developer controls, a bulk entry generator, a dummy payment gateway for safe transaction testing, and Query Monitor integration that shows render time, field counts, and logs right after each submission. An admin bar shortcut lets you jump to any form or plugin in one click.
Dev Tools is built for developers and site builders who want faster iteration cycles and cleaner debugging without cobbling together separate utilities.
Key features
- Frontend form preview with toggles for AJAX, required fields, hidden fields, and multi-page collapse
- One-click admin bar access to any form or plugin, with manage, activate, deactivate, and export options
- Bulk dummy entry generator for load-testing notifications, reports, and conditional logic
- Dummy payment gateway to simulate payment flows without live transactions
- Query Monitor integration showing render time, field count, AJAX status, and Gravity Forms logs
- Automatic field and choice naming to reduce manual cleanup during form building
- Quick field deletion in the editor for faster prototyping

Does this plugin cost anything?
No, Dev Tools is completely free.
Do I need Query Monitor installed separately?
Yes, Dev Tools integrates with Query Monitor as an existing debugging panel; you would install Query Monitor on your own.
Can I turn off tools I don't need?
Yes, you can activate or deactivate individual tools from the Dev Tools settings page.
Will the dummy payment gateway process real charges?
No, it simulates payment flows only, so no live transactions are run.
