The EmailOctopus newsletter subscription checkbox can be used with both the classic WooCommerce checkout and the newer block-based checkout. The available checkbox positions are automatically adjusted depending on which checkout type your store uses. **Important:** If you switch an existing store from the classic checkout to the Checkout Block, please review your EmailOctopus integration settings and thoroughly test the complete checkout process before using it on a live store. The Checkout Block works differently from the classic checkout, and the position and behavior of the newsletter checkbox may change. ### About EmailOctopus This plugin communicates with the email marketing service EmailOctopus via the API.

The block uses the general plugin settings as defaults. Additional CSS classes and custom CSS can be added using the standard WordPress block settings. ### WooCommerce integration If you want to use the EmailOctopus integration for WooCommerce, you need to follow these steps: 1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Integrations > EmailOctopus 2. Choose the Mailing list you prefer for the subscription feature on your checkout page 3. Check the other features to include additional order information with each subscription 4. Enable the option “Subscribe everyone” if you like to use EmailOctopus for non- commercial emails (too). ### Elementor integration If you use Elementor Pro, it’s possible to add the EmailOctopus subscription as form action. 1. Add the Elementor form as usual and choose “EmailOctopus” from “Actions after submit”. 2. Now point the different mailing list fields to the form fields, by entering the field ID. The “Newsletter” option has a special behavior. Use a checkbox in your form and if the checkbox was checked, a tag called “newsletter” will be added to the subscriber in EmailOctopus.
