Checkbox Appears on Woocommerce Checkout Page after Klaviyo Plugin

I just found where to add the copy for the checkbox. Is it possible to remove this option and directly subscribe each person who places an order? TIA

Hi Joseph,

Many thanks! Really helpful indeed.

@wlondon13 In order to remove the “optional” setting, you would follow the steps @retention outlined above.

Perhaps you can take a screenshot to illustrate your point further if folks on the Community aren’t really understanding the challenge you’re having, but the option to remove the checkbox/”optional” text, would be to disable the checkbox in the integration settings.

Hi @travisl1212, 

Welcome to the Klaviyo Community! 

The option of keeping your ‘Add me to Your Newsletter’ box always checked will depend on the particular website you are using. As this is not a Klaviyo feature, I would recommend navigating your website store’s settings and investigating what it permits you to do or not do. You’re right, Shopify allows you the option to always keep the ‘Add me to your Newsletter’ box checked unless someone manually unchecks it. For instance, it appears that Woocomerce does give you the option to leave the default subscription box checked at checkout.

However, I would caution you that not all customers might want to be automatically added to your Newsletter, so I would enable a Double Opt-In setting for your Newsletter so customers are communicating they want to hear from you if they confirm their subscription. This will ensure your  Deliverability Rates remain high and don’t go to spam later. Additionally, if you are based in or sending to customers in the EU, this could go against GDPR Compliance Standards. 

Thanks for sharing your question in the Community!

Hi @travisl1212, 

The link I added in the previous response was alluding to Woocomerce’s documentation about the option to leave the default subscription box checked at checkout, not a plugin. Unfortunately, upon further investigation, Klaviyo’s WooCommerce plugin actually does not natively allow for the opt-in box to be checked by default. The reason for this is to prevent the accumulation of passive subscribers who might be more likely to unsubscribe or mark as spam (negatively impacting your deliverability) as previously mentioned. 

While you could implement this without a Klaviyo plugin, I can't advise what type of code changes that would entail. However, I know we've had customers in the past use the Woofunnels plugin to accomplish it.

I wonder if any users would share their workflow with the Community if they’ve accomplished this in their Woocomerce account? 

Best,

Taylor 

Hi @travisl1212 

Did you find a solution yet? I have the same problem :(

Hi @Sergobaba and @kim, 

Want to clarify what Klaviyo can and can’t do here so you guys aren’t left hanging! 

Thanks for sharing your question with the Community!

We paid a developer to do this. He added this code goes to the functions.php file in your child theme.

/**
 * Make Klaviyo checkbox default checked. 
 */
function wr_klaviyo_default_checked() {
    ?>
     <script>
        jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            console.log("yes");
            if( jQuery("#kl_newsletter_checkbox").length > 0 ) {
                jQuery("#kl_newsletter_checkbox").attr('checked','checked');
            }

        })
    </script>
    <?php
}
add_action( 'wp_footer' ,'wr_klaviyo_default_checked' );

Just to add to @LittleSnail generous share - if your child theme isn’t yet populated with any existing code (I just built a fresh child theme for our site and this was the first thing in there) you’ll need to make sure that the above code is contained within a <?php bracket. As per the below:

<?php
/**
 * Make Klaviyo checkbox default checked. 
 */
function wr_klaviyo_default_checked() {
    ?>
     <script>
        jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            console.log("yes");
            if( jQuery("#kl_newsletter_checkbox").length > 0 ) {
                jQuery("#kl_newsletter_checkbox").attr('checked','checked');
            }

        })
    </script>
    <?php
}
add_action( 'wp_footer' ,'wr_klaviyo_default_checked' );
?>
