<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA v3</h4>
<p><strong>What it is and what it’s used for:</strong><br />
This plugin uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect your contact forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA v3 analyzes user behavior to detect whether a form submission is likely to be legitimate or spam. Unlike previous reCAPTCHA versions, v3 operates invisibly — your visitors won’t see a CAPTCHA challenge or checkbox. This plugin will only use Google reCAPTCHA if you a reCAPTCHA public and private key in the contact form settings section. If left empty, no data will be submitted but your forms wont be protected from spam aswell.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent and when:</strong><br />
When a form with reCAPTCHA protection is submitted, the plugin sends the user’s reCAPTCHA token to Google’s servers. This token is generated automatically based on the user’s interaction with your site and the form. Google uses this data to analyze user behavior and assign a risk score to determine if the submission should be processed. The data sent includes:<br />
– The reCAPTCHA token<br />
– The action name (form submission)<br />
– The user’s IP address and browser information</p>

<p>Each Contact Form 7 contact form has its own settings for each enabled module.</p>
<h4>Thank You Page Feature</h4>
<p>When a contact form is set to use the Thank You Page and the user submits the form, it will send the Contact Form 7 email as usual, then redirect the user to the Thank You Page. This Thank You Page is not an actual “page” on your site, meaning form-specific data can be shown on this page without being visible to other users or indexed by search engines.</p>
<h4>URL Redirect Feature</h4>
<p>When a contact form is set to redirect to a URL and the user submits the form, it will send the Contact Form 7 email as usual, then redirect the user to the specified URL.</p>
<h4>PayPal & Stripe Payments</h4>
<p>Accept one-time payments through PayPal or Stripe directly from your contact forms. When a user submits a form with payments enabled, the email is sent as usual, then the user is redirected to complete payment. All payments are tracked in a dedicated admin area where you can view transaction status, amounts, and payment details.</p>
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA v2</h4>
<p>Protect your forms from spam with Google reCAPTCHA v2 verification. When enabled for a form, users must complete the reCAPTCHA challenge before submitting. Configure your site key and secret key in the settings, then enable reCAPTCHA on individual forms. Customize the theme (light or dark) and position (above or below submit button).</p>
<h4>Country & Phone Fields</h4>
<p>Add country dropdown and international phone number fields to your forms. The country field displays a searchable dropdown with country flags. The phone field includes a dial code selector that automatically formats phone numbers with the correct international prefix. Configure default countries, include/exclude specific countries, and set preferred countries to appear at the top of the list.</p>
<h4>Database Submissions</h4>
<p>Store all form submissions in your WordPress database for easy access and management. View submissions organized by form, search through entries, and export data to CSV. Each submission captures all form fields along with the submission date. Delete individual entries or export entire datasets for reporting.</p>
<h4>Bookings & Appointments</h4>
<p>Add date and time picker fields to your forms for appointment scheduling. Configure available days and hours, set slot durations, and define minimum advance booking time. The system prevents double-bookings by tracking confirmed appointments. Set unavailable dates for holidays or closures.</p>
<h4>Material Design Theme</h4>
<p>Apply beautiful Material Design styling to your Contact Form 7 forms. Enable per-form and customize the primary color, background color, and vertical spacing. Optional floating labels provide a modern input experience. The styling is applied via CSS classes so it won’t conflict with your theme.</p>

Business Essentials for Contact Form 7

This plugin works good. I've been using it on my own site. I couldn't find any other similar plugin that had a thank you page feature.
