How to Add a MailChimp Form to a Chipmunk Theme Website

MailChimp is a third-party newsletter platform that many store owners use to keep their customers up to date.

Normally, MailChimp uses an embedded HTML form to collect email signups for your newsletter campaigns. We provide MailChimp support out of the box and you only need to enter your unique form action URL to enable your customers to submit their email addresses. You can do this on the Customize page of your WordPress admin.

​

4. On the Embedded forms page, click Naked.

5. Find the Copy/paste onto your site section and click anywhere in the box to select the code. Copy the text.

6. Open up a text editor and paste the code.
7. Select the URL between the quotation marks after the code action=. Do not include the " at the beginning or end of the URL in your selection.
