Nine years ago, 4 guys set out to prove that sending newsletters from inside WordPress could be a delightful experience. Since then, hundreds of thousands of sites have used MailPoet to get their message across to their audience. It’s been a thrilling ride for our truly talented team of 11 to have such an impact for businesses, organizations, and bloggers.
A new chapter with WooCommerce
A year ago at WordCamp US, I exchanged words with Paul Maiorana, CEO of WooCommerce, on partnership ideas. As our conversation progressed in the following months, we came to realize that we shared a common vision for stores; with store owners being able to access email right in their dashboard.
Fast forward to today: the MailPoet team is joining WooCommerce – one of the fastest-growing businesses at Automattic! I couldn’t be more delighted with this outcome for our users, the MailPoet team, and MailPoet itself.
The WooCommerce team has a clear vision, a talented team, and the means to achieve great things.
What happens with MailPoet now?
WooCommerce stores can look forward to improved features to reach their customers in the near future. This is a natural continuation of WooCommerce functionality we added to MailPoet 3 years ago. Nearly a quarter of our users run WooCommerce stores already.
For regular WordPress website owners, rest assured, MailPoet will remain available on the plugin repository.
We’ve prepared a Q&A for our users. You should also read the new Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy, which will govern your use of MailPoet starting today.
Thank you!
We didn’t get here alone. I’d like to personally thank our many free users, our devoted customers, our past colleagues, our current team that is one-of-a-kind, and the numerous people who helped shape what is MailPoet today.
We’re looking forward to the next chapter.
Please change agency policy because we are suffering. Disabling per website is fair as opposed to across all sites.
Hi Danna,
Thanks for your feedback! We gather suggestions like this on our Feedback Board. As this has already been suggested, please feel free to vote on it here: https://feedback.mailpoet.com/feature-requests/p/change-spammy-rules
Thanks!
I second Danna’s comment. It’s crazy that you’ll disable all of our client sites if one of them has suspicious activity.
I can’t run an agency business like that. There is no way I can maintain 100% control over all clients at all times. It’s just not realistic and therefore your policy is a risk factor for my entire business.
I can’t have 100 clients disabled because of an issue with a business unrelated to theirs.

Wow, such a cool news to hear. Very nice addition in the very cool eCommerce platform. Through woocommerce & mailpoet, many stores get online.
Congratulations to the mailpoet & woocommerce team. Looking forward for the woocommerce to be more powerful & more complete platform now.
Thanks so much, Gaurav!
Yes, Disabling the whole account just because one of the site is troubling does not make any sense. I wish you guys change that policy.
Thanks

Congrats, Kim and team! This is only good news for MailPoet users like me. And thanks for coming on AppSumo :) I bought two stacks, one for my own use (with WPStarters and other online properties that I own), and the other with clients.
And while it is difficult, if the WooCommerce / Automattic team would consider disabling based on site not account, it would make this even more awesome

Now being part of WooCommerce and seeing all the recent efforts of integration, will you still be focusing on becoming a real alternative to Mailchimp?
Hi Bart,
MailPoet will continue to be developed and improved upon, with a focus on integrating further with WooCommerce. Watch this space :)
Brilliant news, I’ve used you guys since you started, and some of my clients will be delighted that this has gone through, It’s a fantastic journey you have been on and and well deserved, good luck with the future!
