If the “Double Opt-in” option available in the Checkout tab is enabled, an email will be sent to the user who has completed the order on your shop. The subscription to the MailChimp list occurs only if the users give their consent by the specific button available in the email.
To add the registration form to your site pages, you can use the shortcode and/or widget.
Widget and shortcode have two different forms that must be configured in the plugin’s dedicated tabs (Shortcode and Widget).
To insert the Mailchimp registration form through shortcode, add [yith_wcmc_subscription_form] to the site page.
The configuration options concerning the forms associated to the widget and shortcode are the same as the checkout registration form. Therefore we suggest you follow the instructions already analyzed on this page.
An essential note about the interest groups associated to the list (when available).
The plugin gives you the possibility to choose an action when the users register through the widget or shortcode:
By default, the registration form has only the email field.
However, it is possible to add an unlimited number of fields. You can insert all the fields you have configured in the “List fields and *|MERGE|* tags” MailChimp section.
In case you needed to use the attributes of the shortcode, here you find the whole list available for you.
The plugin gives you the possibility to export directly from your store a set of users for your MailChimp list.
You can automatically export to your MailChimp account or into a CSV file manually.
Let’s analyze each option in detail to understand how they work.
If you have exported the list of user list in CSV format, we suggest you follow the Mailchimp guidelines

With the Store integrations option, you can now register all orders performed on your store to MailChimp. You can create campaigns targeted based on customer purchasing preferences.
After you connect your store, a sync option will appear, if you want all your previous users and customers to be registered in Mailchimp.
This process will cycle the orders registered in your store, and send them to MailChimp, this way you’ll have all your customers and orders in there.
You can stop the synchronizing process at any time, you will see the sync status in the message below the button.
You can sync again at any time by clicking on the ‘Sync again’ button and the process will be repeated.
Apart from the sync process, the store integration just interacts with the default subscription process. So, when the customers purchase and accept to be registered to MailChimp, their mail is registered, as well as their current order.
