Settings at DocuMerge → Settings → General control plugin-wide defaults. Every form can override these individually.
Document defaults
- Default output format — PDF, DOCX, or both. Applied to new templates unless overridden per-template.
- Default delivery methods — Browser download is always available. Email and media library are Pro.
- Download link expiry — how long submitter-facing download links stay valid. Default: 72 hours. Set to 0 to never expire (not recommended for privacy).
Form mode
- Standalone — Lite uses its own built-in form builder (default).
- Integrated — Lite listens for submissions from WPForms, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, or Fluent Forms. This option is visible but disabled in Lite — integration is a Pro feature.
Admin notifications
- Notify admin on new submission — sends an email to the admin address with submission details.
- Notify on error — sends an email when document generation fails.
- Notification email — defaults to the site admin email; override with another address if you want notifications to go elsewhere.
Date/time formats
- Date format — used by
{current_date}and date-type fields. Default follows the site’s WordPress setting. - Time format — used by
{current_time}. Default follows the site’s WordPress setting.
