Locksmith allows you to integrate directly with either Mailchimp or Klaviyo. When setup, Locksmith will ask customers for an email address when they arrive on a locked page. Once the email is entered, a customer is immediately granted access, and Locksmith will automatically send the subscription information to the corresponding service.

Note: Mailchimp and Klaviyo both have their own policies regarding double opt in, and it is typically enabled by default. This setting is adjusted in your Mailchimp or Klaviyo dashboards - it is not a setting that is controlled by Locksmith.

Mailchimp

Detailed information on how to setup Mailchimp can be found here:

Klaviyo

If using Klaviyo, you have the option to simply request that visitors subscribe in order to gain access:

Or, you can also use Klaviyo to grant access only to those who are already subscribed to a specific list in your Klaviyo account:

Using your default Shopify mailing list

Shopify ships out of the box with a marketing mailing list service. If you would like to use Locksmith to grant access to those who have already subscribed to this, you can do so using a custom Liquid key condition.

This is slightly different than the above options, in that it will only grant access to a signed in customers - if the customer is already subscribed! To start, check out our guide on this here:

The condition you're looking for is:

{% if customer.accepts_marketing %}

When set up, this will present the customer will the regular prompt to sign in (as opposed to the subscription prompt):

If desired, you can adjust your message prompt to direct your customers to the page footer(in most stores) to subscribe to your newsletter. More information on editing messages here:

Using other mail services

Locksmith does not support other mail services at this time.

However, if you have a mail service that automatically tags customers that are subscribed, you can use Locksmith to check for a customer tag:
