Disable checkout opt-in

Hey Ben,

Thanks for reaching out. I see how this could be a helpful addition, and I’ve gone ahead and passed this feedback along for the plugin developers to review. Please let us know if you have any other plugin related questions we can help out with in the meantime!

Thanks again!

Pearl

Thanks Pearl! I appreciate that.
The other plugin I have installed is the premium plugin WooCommerce MailChimp Integration by WooThemes. It has the opt-in checkbox between the terms&conditions checkbox and the submit order button. That’s in my opinion a much better place than after the create user account checkbox.

One other thing I think you can improve is to explain better on wp.org what the plugin does. I just found it yesterday and read all I could find about it including the docs on mailchimp.com. Still I wasn’t sure what it really does. I think mailchimp features are mixed in the description. For example “Create abandoned cart Automation workflows + Send product recommendations”, I think that is automation requiring a paid Mailchimp account and is not something that comes with the plugin. The plugin makes it possible but it’s not features of the plugin if I understand things correctly. Do you see what I mean or am I missing something?

Thanks for your support!

Hey Ben,

You’re very welcome! We appreciate you giving us a head’s up on that. I’ll pass that additional information along as well – we want to be sure that the product description is clear and succinct as well.

Have an excellent weekend!

Yeah, this plugin is being pushed hard by Mailchimp yet there is little information about it.

If I sync and autosubscribe my existing customers how are they segmented?

For example, can I segment them by a specific purchased product?

Will it send them a welcome email if I bring them in and they aren’t already subscribed.

Our list is very important to our business and we don’t want to go messing it up.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for your reply! In short, segmenting is like a criteria you can filter your list by. Since MailChimp for WooCommerce brings in e-commerce data, you can segment by things like ‘product purchased’. There’s some more information on this in MailChimp’s knowledge base:

Segment a List by Purchase Activity: https://eepurl.com/b2Q-hP

I just tested things out, and the final welcome email doesn’t send to new subscribers added after they make a purchase from my site or those passed over in the initial sync, even when the final welcome email is turned on in the list settings. However, automations might behave differently depending on how they’re set up.

If you have automations running that you want to have checked out, or you have more questions on how MailChimp segmenting works, feel free to hit up their support! More information on their support options can be found here:

If you have any questions about the MailChimp for WooCommerce plugin itself, feel free to reply to this thread or boot up a new one if it’s a new topic.

Have a good one!

Best,

Please allow an option to automatically subscribe a customer to a list without the checkbox and message at checkout.

Hey there mattmikulla,

Thanks for the feedback! I went ahead and passed this along internally for consideration. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions or feedback about the plugin in the future.

Thanks again,

Hello

I have thee same issue. Ben has written in his frist post, that he added a code:

label[for=mailchimp_woocommerce_newsletter] { display: none !important; }

Where can i add this excactly to hide the opt-in field?

Thank you

Hi Tomb88,

You can put the css I posted in your theme, preferably a child theme. Locate the style.css of your active theme. If you’re using a child theme you will not loose the change when you update the parent theme.

Best wishes,

Ben

Hi Ben

Thank you for your messange.
It almost worked perfect! I was able to copy the css to my style.css file and now the Test from the Opt-in field is hidden. Unfortantly the checkbox icon is still there ^^
Do you know how i can remove the checkbox icon?

Thank you
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

If you share your url I might be able to help you.

Thank you Ben.
The URL is https://bit.ly/2l9u2An
If you scroll down to “Land – Schweiz” you will see the checkbox right after.

Hello again,

Try adding:

#mailchimp_woocommerce_newsletter { display: none; }

BR,
Ben

It works! Thank you very much Ben! I appreciate your help!
