Moosend opt-in w/woocommerce rather than automatic add

Hi folks,

We’ve recently switched from mailchimp to moosend, and it’s largely been a good experience so far.

One thing we have found is it seems the moosend plugin claims it automatically adds folks to a new list on our moosend account:

“”””

Add Customers Automatically to Moosend

Every time one of your visitors purchases from your WooCommerce store, we automatically sync their name, email address, and details in a new list in your Moosend account. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about lengthy imports and following a specific sync routine.

“””

Checking on our account, it does indeed appear to do this.

However, in Australia, we need to ask for consent to add folks to mailing lists to comply with anti-spam laws. As such, this should not be automatic, there should be an opt-in checkbox at checkout (and we would love to control which list they go onto when they do opt-in).

I know this is going onto its own separate list we don’t have to send to this new list to avoid breaking the law, but we do want to give people the option to join our main email list at checkout which is what we used to have available to us with mailchimp – that would make this offering so much better – it is a great time for folks to join.

Can we please get a checkbox at checkout for woocommerce to opt-in to joining our list (and pick what list(s) the person gets added to on opt-in)?

Also, I believe the sync function should be optional otherwise we’ll end up with a bunch of people on a separate list, that we can’t email (but I presume we do have to pay you to ‘manage’ the contact?).

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and what we can do here!
