## Your list first

Where sign-ups come from, your list, and the newsletter popup.

### The page at a glance

Where sign-ups come from, your list, and the service it goes to

Email marketing starts with your own list, kept in your store whatever service you use, then sends it to the service your newsletters go out from. Only people who said yes join.

**Where sign-ups come from** lists each place shoppers can join, with who joined there in the last 30 days: **Newsletter box at checkout and sign-up** ( a tick box on checkout, Create account and Personal information, also on Settings › Accounts ), **Sign-up popup**, **Elementor forms** ( an Elementor Pro form with the WP EasyCart newsletter action ) and **Added by you, or imported** ( Users › Subscribers ). **Change the words** opens the text shoppers see.

**Your list** shows how many are subscribed and how many joined in 30 days. Each sign-up keeps the date, where it came from and the shopper’s account, and a shopper who unsubscribes from any email or from My Account leaves your list and your service’s. **Open Subscribers** and **Export the list ( CSV )** are here.

**Send your list to an email service** has a tile for MailerLite, Kit and ActiveCampaign ( PRO ), each with **Set it up**, and Mailchimp and Klaviyo through the Email Marketing extension ( Premium ). **Your email service** below holds one box per service with its connection and every setting shown; the sections below follow those boxes. **Recent changes here** keeps 30 days of changes with Undo.

### Sign-ups

The newsletter popup; the box at checkout is on Settings › Accounts

**Show the newsletter sign-up popup** ( default: Off )

Opens a name and email form on every page until the visitor closes or submits it; it then stays hidden in that browser. Sign-ups appear under Users › Subscribers. Free. The same switch is on the Grow your list card of Settings › Marketing, and the popup’s look is on Settings › Appearance › Design.

*MailerLite*

## MailerLite

Subscribers and groups, then orders and abandoned checkouts.

### MailerLite

Newsletter subscribers, kept in step both ways

**Sync subscribers with MailerLite** ( default: Off; PRO )

Everyone who joins your newsletter is added to MailerLite, and people who unsubscribe on either side leave both lists.

**API token** ( default: Empty; PRO )

From MailerLite › Integrations › API. A key from MailerLite Classic still works for subscribers. A **Check connection** button under the section tries the credentials and sets up unsubscribes coming back from MailerLite.

**Groups for newsletter subscribers** ( default: None; PRO )

New subscribers join these groups, picked from your MailerLite account. Products and categories can add buyers to more groups in their editors.

![The MailerLite box under Your email service, before it is connected.](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/email-marketing-settings-mailerlite-607.jpg)

> **💡 Note:** Under the section, **Sync subscribers** sends everyone already on your newsletter list, in the background. With PRO the section also shows the connection status, anything waiting to retry and the last 50 results. More in [MailerLite](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/mailerlite/).

### MailerLite store data

Orders and abandoned checkouts for MailerLite’s e-commerce automations

**Let MailerLite send the cart reminders** ( default: Off; PRO )

### Kit

Everyone who joins your newsletter is subscribed in Kit ( formerly ConvertKit ), and people who unsubscribe on either side leave both lists.

**API key** ( default: Empty; PRO )

**V3 API secret** ( default: Empty; PRO )

On the same Developer page, under V3. It records purchases, because Kit’s newer API only lets approved apps do that.

**V3 API key** ( default: Empty; PRO )

Only needed without a V4 key: the older connection lists forms and tags with it.

**Form to subscribe to** ( default: Choose a form; PRO )

The Kit form new subscribers join. If the form asks people to confirm, Kit sends its confirmation email first. Optional with the V4 API key; the older V3 keys only subscribe through a form.

New subscribers get these tags. Products and categories can tag buyers in their editors.

![The Kit box: the keys, Check connection, Sync subscribers and Kit store data.](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/email-marketing-settings-kit-607.jpg)

**Abandoned cart tag** ( default: Choose a tag; PRO )

The tag used for abandoned carts. Needs the V4 API key.

**Let Kit send the cart reminders** ( default: Off; PRO )

Your store’s own abandoned cart emails skip the carts Kit tags, so nobody is reminded twice.

> **💡 Note:** **Send past orders** sends your earlier paid orders in the background, recording subscribers’ orders as purchases and adding their product tags.

*ActiveCampaign*

## ActiveCampaign and more

A list, tags and double opt-in, then e-commerce data. Mailchimp and others use an extension.

### ActiveCampaign
