Why Block for Mailchimp?

Growing an email list shouldn’t require a developer. Block for Mailchimp connects your Mailchimp account to WordPress and gives you a dedicated Gutenberg block to visually build subscription forms that fit your website’s design. Display a form inline on a page, open it in a popup, or keep it floating at the top or bottom of the screen.

All collected emails are safely stored in your Mailchimp audience, so you can use Mailchimp’s automation to send newsletters, product updates, or event invitations. Every form is fully responsive and adjusts automatically to mobile, tablet, and desktop screens.

Whether you run a business, publish a blog, or manage a community, this plugin helps you collect leads effortlessly and stay connected with your audience.

Free Features

  • Easy Integration: Connect your Mailchimp account and select your audience list directly from the WordPress dashboard.
  • Dedicated Gutenberg Block: Add the “Mailchimp Subscribe Form” block anywhere without using shortcodes.
  • Multiple Layouts: Choose from four layout styles – inline, modal popup, floating top bar, and floating bottom bar – to match your page design.
  • Fully Responsive: Every form looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
  • Customizable Fields: Show or hide fields such as first name, last name, and email. Adjust labels and placeholder text easily.
  • Button Styling: Change button text, color, padding, and border radius to match your website’s color palette.
  • Typography Control: Adjust fonts and text sizes for form labels, inputs, and messages.
  • Success & Error Messages: Create custom success and error messages with separate color and font options.
  • Unlimited Forms: Use the block multiple times across posts, pages, or templates.
  • Theme Compatibility: Works smoothly with all well-coded WordPress themes.

Pro Version

Upgrade to Mailchimp Block Pro for advanced design options and extra control over your form’s layout and behavior:

  • Ten Ready-Made Themes: Apply a pre-built theme or customize one to fit your site’s style.
  • Advanced Design Controls: Adjust margins, padding, borders, and spacing for a tailored look.
  • Shortcode Support: Embed your Mailchimp form anywhere – in widgets, templates, or non-block areas.
  • Pattern Library: Import and edit form patterns with one click.
  • Logo Upload: Add your brand logo to the form for a consistent visual identity.
