Before you start
- Your store is online (the signup block already shows on your storefront).
The newsletter lets you collect your visitors' emails to reach them again: new arrivals, promotions, back-in-stock alerts. A channel that's free and that you own — unlike social media. Here you customize the signup block and track your subscriber list.
What you'll learn
- Customize the title, message and signup feedback.
- Review your subscribers and the key metrics.
- Export your list as a CSV.
Step by step
Step 1 — Customize the signup block
In the left-hand menu, open Growth then Newsletter, and click Settings. Here you set the text your visitors see. The error message (marker ①) shows if signup fails; the success message (marker ②) confirms the subscription. The Title (marker ③) and Message (marker ④) form the hook of the block shown on your store. Click Save. The Restore original link resets the default texts.
Step 2 — Track and export your subscribers
Still under Growth > Newsletter, the Subscribers page lists every signup. The indicators (marker ①) summarize the essentials: total subscribers, number of languages and latest subscribe. The Export CSV button (marker ②) downloads the full list. The table (marker ③) details each subscriber: email, IP, language and signup date — sortable and searchable.
Expected result
Your signup block shows a polished hook on your store, every new subscriber appears in the list, and you can export your base anytime to launch your marketing campaigns.
Expert tips
- Offer something in return. A welcome promo code strongly boosts the signup rate.
- Export regularly. Keep a backup of your list and sync your emailing tool.
- Segment by language. A message in the subscriber's language is far more effective.
- Stay consistent. A useful, not-too-frequent newsletter keeps interest without tiring people.
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Why it's a problem | The fix |
|---|---|---|
| Generic title ("Newsletter") | Few signups. | Announce a concrete benefit in the title. |
| Empty success message | The visitor doubts it worked. | Clearly confirm the subscription. |
| Never exporting | List unusable elsewhere. | Export the CSV and feed your emailing tool. |
| No follow-up sends | Subscribers collected for nothing. | Plan regular campaigns. |
