Installation Instructions
Installing “MailPoet Checkout Subscription for WooCommerce (Legacy)” can be done either by searching for “MailPoet Checkout Subscription for WooCommerce (Legacy)” via the “Plugins > Add New” screen in your WordPress dashboard, or by using the following steps:
- Download the plugin via WordPress.org
- Upload the ZIP file through the ‘Plugins > Add New > Upload’ screen in your WordPress dashboard.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Setting up the Plugin
To setup this plugin, go to “WooCommerce -> Settings” and then the MailPoet tab. The settings are in two sections. ‘General | Available Lists’
“General” contains the main settings for the plugin.
“Available Lists” contains a table listing of all your created lists. Select the lists you want your customers to subscribe to by ticking the checkbox next to the list and press ‘Save changes’.
That’s it, now when your customers tick the subscribe checkbox on the checkout page, they will be subscribed to the newsletter/s you selected when processing an order.
Upgrading
Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.
Q1. Can I place the subscription field anywhere?
A1. Yes you can. Simply select the “Subscription Position” you want and the field will be placed there.
Q2. I need to double opt-in my customers to send a confirmation email. Do you have this option?
A2. Yes and it is enabled by default.
Q3. Can my customers select which lists they wish to subscribe to?
A3. Yes, simply set “Multi-Subscription” option to “Yes” under the “General” section and then on the “Available Lists” section, select the lists your customers can select from.
Q4. Will this extension work with MailPoet 3?
A4. No. If you are using MailPoet 3 then you will need to upgrade MailPoet Checkout Subscription for WooCommerce to the new version.
Q5. Will my settings be carried over to the updated integration if I upgrade?
A5. Yes they will.
