The response has been huge to my WooCommerce MailChimp plugin but there have been quite a few international users who haven’t been able to use it due to laws requiring the ability for customers to explicitly opt-in to the email list during checkout vs. the default behavior of automatically subscribing customers to the list after making a purchase. Well, the wait is over, WooCommerce MailChimp 1.1 is now available and adds this capability (see screenshot below) so that customers can choose whether or not to opt-in during the checkout process. This feature is completely optional and you have full control over the opt-in text displayed next to the checkbox (figure 2).
