Mailchimp Widget: Is there a way to make opting-in automatic?

  • When someone opts-in on my website using my Mailchimp contact form, Mailchimp then sends an email requiring the person to confirm subscription by clicking a button in the email.

    Is there a way to make that step go away? The person has already opted in by filling out the form on the website; why is this extra step necessary? It seems like it will deter interested people from signing up…

  • Hey there,

    Thanks for getting in touch. The double opt-in process with that confirmation email is recommended in order to assure people being signed up are signing themselves up and to avoid issues with typos and other similar issues. This helps reduce future deliverability issues in lists. We have more information on that here:

    MailChimp’s built-in signup forms, offered embedded forms, and official WordPress plugin all require double opt-in. However, third party integrations and custom coded solutions can be created via our API (https://apidocs.mailchimp.com/) which allow for single opt-in. Finding a third party solution or getting a developer to create one can enable single opt-in if you’d like.

    If we can help with any other questions, please let us know.
