What is Newsletter?

Newsletter lets shoppers sign up for your emails and keeps your subscriber list for you. You email them from CRM → Campaigns: a new collection, a Diwali sale, restock news.

It is part of CartWhizz and always on. Your list is in Marketing → CRM → Subscribers.

What you get

• A sign-up box on your store. Add the Newsletter block to any page layout. Shoppers enter their email (and name, if you show that field).
• Sign-up during registration. Shoppers who tick the marketing box when creating an account are added to your list.
• Your subscriber list with search, status, where each person signed up, Add subscriber, Import CSV and Export CSV.
• Confirmation emails (double opt-in). Optional: new sign-ups confirm their email before they get newsletters.
• Sending through Campaigns. In CRM → Campaigns, pick the built-in audience Newsletter subscribers. You can schedule the send, add a coupon, and see opens and clicks. It also reaches subscribers who never created an account.
• Unsubscribe built in. Every email has an unsubscribe link. People who unsubscribe are never emailed again, from any campaign.

What it does not do (yet)

• No drag-and-drop email designer. You paste or write the email (HTML or plain text).
• Mailchimp appears as a setting but does not work today. See Mailchimp integration.
