Limits
The free version of Noptin has no limits. You can collect as many subscribers as you want and send them as many emails as you want. The only limits are those that are imposed by your web host.
For example,
Many web hosts have limits on the number of emails that you can send each day. This is why we recommend that you install a WordPress SMTP plugin and use it to send your emails. Noptin will work with any SMTP plugin that you install.
You can also use Noptin to collect email subscribers and send them to your own newsletter service provider. Please check our addons page to see if we integrate with your provider.
Getting Started
If you’ve not yet installed Noptin, please take a look at our installation guide. Installation is free and only takes a few minutes.
After installation, the first step is deciding how you’ll collect your email subscribers.
The easiest way to collect email subscribers is by adding the [noptin] shortcode to your content or text widget.
This will render a newsletter subscription form such as the one below.
By default, the shortcode only displays the email input field and the subscribe button. You can, however, display as many custom fields as you want, change the label of the subscribe button, display the fields on a single line, hide/show the input labels and so much more.
Noptin also comes with an advanced form builder that you can use to create newsletter subscription forms and append them to your posts, widget areas, or display them in pop-ups.
It also integrates with other popular plugins, allowing you to use those plugins to gain new email subscribers.
For example,
You can add a newsletter sign-up checkbox to your:-
You can also use forms from the following plugins as newsletter subscription forms.
