Integrating a mailing list has several advantages over a sign-up form embed or a standard checkbox on sign up:
The option is presented on registration, in cart, and at checkout
Sync. is handled automatically without the need for customer data to be downloaded
Registration is only presented if customer is not already signed up
Multiple mailing lists can be added per store
Mailing lists can be linked to artists and labels and only displayed if relevant products are in the customer's cart
How to set up
Site Settings > Mailing Lists
Add Mailing List
Enter API credentials from your mailing list service and enter the service mailing list ID.
Give your mailing list a Name. This will be displayed on the site alongside the checkbox.
To display more information about the mailing list, enter a Description. This is optional, but recommended as it gives the user a better understanding about what to expect from signing up and encourages engagement.
You can add a link to a dedicated Privacy Policy URL if the terms of subscription to the mailing list are not contained in the standard site Privacy Policy.
Artist and Label lists
You can link a list specifically to an artist or label, so that the option to subscribe to the mailing list appears at the point of checkout if the customer is purchasing a product by that artist or on that label.
Section Heading
By default, the mailing list section of the registration or cart page will have a heading 'Subscribe'. To change this, enter a different value on any mailing list.
Syncing
After setting up a mailing list, it will attempt to synchronise the mailing list subscribers with the external service. You can manually start this process by clicking More > Sync. List.
