This plugin adds a gate to downloadable files, requiring users to provide an email address or confirm a subscription to a specific MailChimp list. It's designed for site owners who offer digital resources like ebooks, guides, or software and want to grow their email list in exchange. The tool integrates with the site's native media library for easy file management.

MailChimp Integration: Connect directly to a MailChimp list. The plugin checks a user's subscription status and can automatically add new email addresses to your chosen list upon form submission. Shortcode and Block: Use a simple shortcode or a dedicated block within the page editor to place the download gate. Configuration includes setting the target MailChimp list ID and selecting the file from the media library. Flexible Gating: Choose to collect a simple email opt-in or enforce an active MailChimp subscription. This allows for both list growth and providing exclusive content to existing subscribers. Managed File Access: Files are protected and served through the site, not via direct public links, helping to control distribution after the gate requirement is met.
