Hello Pete,
Our plugin “MailChimp for WordPress” is used to create subscription forms on a WordPress website and send the data to your MailChimp.com account. So MailChimp.com account (free or paid) is required as without it, our plugin won’t send the data anywhere.
Also to create API and lists, you do not need a paid MailChimp account. They have a freemium model where they allow users to have up to 2000 subscribers and email them for free.
that did NOT answer my question at all.
I asked about 1 feild and you tell me it needs mailchimp..
DOH i know it needs mailchimp. I think the name gives it away..
Please answer my question above
Hello Pete,
The reason I had to share with you details was because you asked if you need to signup with MailChimp in your first question.
- Our form allows you to add those fields that exist in your MailChimp list to which the form is connected. If you need more fields you would simply need to create those fields in the MailChimp list and then go to the “MailChimp for WP” page in your WordPress backend and click on “Renew MailChimp Lists”. Doing this pulls the changes you made in your list and makes it available to the form.
- API key can be created from your MailChimp account. We have provided a link right below the field where you need to add the key in our plugin to make it even easier. Have you tried it yet?
