About the Newsletter element
When browsing online, you may encounter forms that offer freebies or newsletters in return for your information.
These forms, commonly known as signup forms, play a crucial role in helping stores expand by gathering data for future marketing and sales efforts. In GemPages, these forms are referred to as Newsletter Elements.
Note: The Newsletter element represents Shopify’s signup form, which has limited fields. If you desire a form with greater customization options, kindly consider using the Contact form element instead.
Access your Customers’ email list
Once a customer submits the form, their email address will be collected and stored in the Customer section of your Shopify Admin panel.
Go to Shopify Admin > Customers to see a list of all the emails subscribed through the signup form.
