Shortcode and Widget

Home > Premium version settings > Shortcode and Widget

The plugin allows to use shortcode and widget to insert the registration form in your site pages.
Widget and shortcode refer to two different forms that must be configured in the plugin settings dashboard.

Shortcode settings

Widget settings

To insert the Mailchimp registration form through shortcode enter [yith_wcmc_subscription_form] in the site page.

The configuration options concerning the forms associated to widget and shortcode are the same as the checkout registration form. Therefore we suggest you to follow the instructions already analyzed in this page.

Interest groups

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 widget or shortcode:

  • if the user makes a request for the registration, he/she can be automatically inserted in one or more interest groups
  • the user can choose the interest group to which he/she wants to register

Registration to the interest groups

Shortcode example

Registration form fields

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.
