FAQ

Does it require WooCommerce?
Section titled “Does it require WooCommerce?”Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active. Without it, Subscribe shows an admin notice and registers nothing.
Where does the checkbox appear?
Section titled “Where does the checkbox appear?”On the classic WooCommerce checkout, immediately after the terms-and-conditions area (the woocommerce_checkout_after_terms_and_conditions hook). The position is fixed, there is no placement setting.
Does it work on the block (Cart/Checkout Blocks) checkout?
Section titled “Does it work on the block (Cart/Checkout Blocks) checkout?”The checkbox renders on the classic checkout only. The plugin declares cart_checkout_blocks compatibility so it raises no WooCommerce warning, but it does not currently inject a field into the block checkout.
Is the checkbox ticked by default?
Section titled “Is the checkbox ticked by default?”No. It starts unticked so the customer opts in deliberately, which is what GDPR consent generally requires. There is a Default state setting to pre-tick it if your local rules permit, but it is off out of the box.
Where are subscribers stored?
Section titled “Where are subscribers stored?”As a private custom post type, subscribe_subscriber, listed under WooCommerce → Subscribers. Each record holds the email (also the post title), a consent flag, the source and a timestamp, all as post meta. Nothing is sent to any external service.
Can I customise the consent text?
Section titled “Can I customise the consent text?”Yes. The Checkbox label setting is the consent text. Leave it blank to use the default, Yes, sign me up for the newsletter. Write it as a clear consent statement so the record you keep is accurate.
What happens if someone opts in twice?
Section titled “What happens if someone opts in twice?”Nothing duplicates. Before storing, Subscribe checks for the email case-insensitively and skips it if already present, so a repeat customer never creates a second record.
Does it send subscribers to Mailchimp or another service?
Section titled “Does it send subscribers to Mailchimp or another service?”No. There is no integration with any external email platform. The addresses stay in your database. Export them to CSV and import into the tool of your choice.
Can I export the list?
Section titled “Can I export the list?”Yes. Export to CSV on the Subscribers screen downloads every subscriber (Email, Consent, Source, Subscribed at) as subscribers-YYYY-MM-DD.csv. The export is nonce-protected, limited to manage_woocommerce, and CSV-injection safe.
Can a developer react to a new subscriber?
Section titled “Can a developer react to a new subscriber?”Yes. Each genuinely new opt-in fires do_action('subscribe/subscriber_created', $post_id, $email, $source). Hook it to send a welcome email, notify an admin, or sync to your own system. See Usage for a working example.
Can I change the checkout row’s appearance?
Section titled “Can I change the checkout row’s appearance?”It has no theme template to override. The row is rendered in PHP and styled by the plugin’s CSS, which exposes themeable --subscribe-* custom properties. Override those variables in your theme to restyle it.
How do I remove all plugin data?
Section titled “How do I remove all plugin data?”Deleting the plugin removes the subscribe_settings and subscribe_db_version options. Subscriber records are kept on purpose, they are consented merchant data that should survive a reinstall. Delete them manually from the Subscribers screen if you want them gone.
