Download Monitor - MailChimp Lock

This extension connects a download manager plugin to a MailChimp email list. It is designed for site owners who offer digital files and want to grow their mailing list by making subscription a requirement for access. By integrating these two systems, you can convert download seekers into subscribers automatically.

• List Integration: Links directly to your chosen MailChimp list. Access is only granted to users who are already on that list or who successfully subscribe through the provided form.
• Simple Setup: Apply the lock to selected downloads with minimal configuration, using a dedicated shortcode to display the subscription form.
• Double Opt-in Support: Works with MailChimp's double opt-in process. You can include a unique download link in the final welcome email sent to new subscribers.
• GDPR Compliance: The extension is built to support GDPR requirements when used with a compliant MailChimp form and list configuration.
• Membership Utility: Can function as a simple access control system, allowing you to gate downloads for paying members if their status is managed through your MailChimp list.
