Launched Double opt-in for email

September 30, 2023

Launched Double opt-in for email

  • merchants can now enable double opt-in
  • this means customers who subscribe will get a confirmation email
  • customers have to click on the email confirmation for them to become a subscriber
    • if they don't click on email confirmation, they don't get created as a subscriber for our merchants

What does this mean for merchants?

  • clean subscriber lists with high-intent customers
  • better email deliverability, low bounce rate
  • [risk] might mean slower list growth

Who did we release to?

  • all merchants
  • DOI will only be shown to merchants who have email enabled

Tracking

  • we will be appending this dashboard with tracking for # of merchants who have enabled DOI — will be up by tomorrow
  • there are more improvements we are making for tracking, will post all updates here
