Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Postalion – Newsletter, Email Marketing & Automation
Yes. Every feature described above is in the free plugin, with no cap on subscribers, lists or sends, and no logo in your emails. The only limits are those of your host or mail service. Postalion Pro is a separate add-on with extra features; it does not unlock anything in the free plugin.
Pro is a second plugin, installed next to this one, for shops and larger lists: email sequences, segments by behaviour, WooCommerce automations (abandoned cart, after-the-order series, win-back) and priority support. Most sites do not need it: newsletters, forms, lists, automatic emails and statistics are all in the free plugin. Pro is paid yearly through Freemius, with fourteen days money back; removing it leaves your list and newsletters untouched. Details at postalion.fantasythemes.net/pro.
Through the standard wp_mail() function, or through an SMTP server you enter under Settings → Sending method. On most hosts the mail function works for a small list; for reliable delivery use a sending service such as Brevo, Amazon SES, Mailgun or Postmark, since the mail servers of shared hosting are often blocklisted. A mail plugin you already have keeps working: Postalion goes through it. Video: setting up SMTP with Brevo.
As many as your host or mail service allows. Postalion does not count. Set the batch size and the pause between batches under Postalion → Settings to stay inside their limits.
No. Sending runs on WP-Cron, which WordPress triggers when someone visits the site. On a site with very little traffic, a real cron job for wp-cron.php keeps batches and scheduled newsletters on time.
They see a short page asking them to confirm, and one click on the button unsubscribes them. The link itself does not unsubscribe, so mail scanners that open links cannot remove people by accident. Mail clients with a built-in unsubscribe button unsubscribe at once. Next to it, "Your preferences" lets people change their lists and details instead of leaving.
It gives you the tools: double opt-in (on by default), an unsubscribe link and a preferences page in every email, support for the WordPress personal data export and erase requests, and automatic deletion of old log entries. Statistics are off by default; when you turn them on, opens and clicks are counted on your own site and the privacy policy guide tells you what to mention. No data leaves your site except the emails you send. What you send, and to whom, remains your responsibility.
Yes. From a CSV file under Postalion → Subscribers → Import CSV: the file needs an email column; names, lists, tags and custom fields are optional. Addresses already on the list are skipped, and people who unsubscribed stay unsubscribed. Coming from Mailchimp? Export your audience there (Audience → Export audience), then upload the zip under Postalion → Subscribers → Import from Mailchimp. You choose where each column goes; tags, custom fields and sign-up dates come over, people who unsubscribed stay unsubscribed, and bounced addresses stay behind. Video: moving a Mailchimp list to WordPress. Coming from MailPoet or from Newsletter (The Newsletter Plugin)? If it is installed on the same site, Postalion → Settings offers a one-click import of its subscribers with their names, lists, custom fields, statuses and sign-up dates. Nothing in the other plugin is changed, so you can compare the two before removing it. Only import people who agreed to receive email from you. Video: switching from MailPoet.
Yes. A sign-up box at the checkout (ticked or not, your choice), a Customer tag and "last order" fields for buyers who subscribed, so you can write to customers only, and new products sent out like posts. Abandoned-cart and after-the-order emails are part of Postalion Pro.
The sign-up form is a native element in Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and Divi, with the same options as the block. Everywhere else, the [postalion_form] shortcode works.
