email collection on a $0 plan

I am currently not on a paid klaviyo plan (I had an active account but I put my store on temporary hiatus which is why I’m currently on a $0 plan). However I will soon be on the paid plan in the future. 

My question is, I have created a new pop up form and linked it to my website. If customers enter their email into that form, will their email still be stored in the list for when I later join the paid plan?

I have tested it out by putting my email in the pop up form, it says 2 emails submitted, but in the profiles section my emails dont show at all. So just wondering if I really do need to buy a plan to keep these email, as I want to build it before I actually switch on my store again. I currently dont want to pay the monthly plans as I am not sending out any campaigns within the next 3 months, so it would be a waste of money for me

@importantmuffin,  I think if you canceled your account but didn’t reactivate as free, your account would be in a state where you can’t collect signups, send campaigns, trigger flows, etc. If you go to Billing > Preferences, do you see a button to “Reactivate as free”?  More details in the Klaviyo docs - https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805595309 

There are a few reasons why you might not see a profile be created after signing up via a signup form; a double-opt-in list — which you confirmed was not the problem here — or triggering Klaviyo’s list-bombing are the most common.

You don’t need to buy a plan, the list you have connected it to might be double opt in which is why none of them are found in Klaviyo yet - https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005251108

 

So don’t worry, it is nothing to do with a paid plan. I would recommend using Mail Ward from the app store if you do change this to single opt in though because it stops any spam profiles entering your flows.

Thanks for replying. I would like to say that the forum was not on double opt in, I ensured that it was on single opt in and then tested on the email to check.

Hi ​@importantmuffin,

Did you manage to get this figured out? I can confirm what Cadence mentioned. If your account is cancelled, but not reactivated to free, sign-up forms won’t work as expected. Additionally, if you’re on the free plan (not cancelled), I’d recommend signing up using a different email, and on a different device. If that sign-up goes through, and you see your profile on the profiles page, it means that our list-bombing protections were likely preventing your original profile from subscribing.
