When you connect your store, the guided setup configures some basic settings, such as how your contacts are imported and your email permissions. Use the plugin settings to change them, and to set up other features such as product alerts, transactional emails, and SMS.

Before you start

Install the Brevo plugin for WooCommerce and complete the guided setup.

➡️ To learn more, check our dedicated article Brevo plugin for WooCommerce - Install the plugin on your website.

Access the plugin settings

To access the plugin settings:

1. In Brevo, click the account dropdown and select Integrations > My integrations.
2. Next to the WooCommerce integration, click the three-dot icon and select Edit settings.
   

Change how your WooCommerce contacts are synced

Change your contact sync settings

If you already set this up during the guided setup, you can edit these settings here. Changes only apply to contacts that are added or updated after you save.

1. From the plugin settings, click Contact Synchronization.
2. Activate Sync your store contacts to Brevo.

3. (Optional) Activate Import contacts as subscribed if you want all WooCommerce contacts, including guest checkout customers, to be imported as subscribed for email marketing.

   ❗️ Important

   Activate Import contacts as subscribed only if your WooCommerce contacts have given clear, verifiable consent to receive marketing emails. If you're unsure, keep this option deactivated so that only customers who subscribe through your checkout opt-in are marked as subscribed.

   

4. Select the Brevo list where your WooCommerce contacts should be added:

   If "Import contacts as subscribed" is activated

   Contacts are added by default to a list named WooCommerce in the Integrations folder. Click Select another list to choose or create another list.
   

   If "Import contacts as subscribed" is deactivated

   Subscribed contacts are added by default to WooCommerce in the Integrations folder.
   

   Contacts who aren't subscribed are added to WooCommerce_NonSubscribers. This list cannot be changed.

5. From Subscribe event, choose when a WooCommerce contact should receive a subscription confirmation email:

   • Order created: Immediately after the contact places an order.
   • Order completed: When the order is marked as Completed in WooCommerce.

   

6. By default, Autoassign store contacts' attributes to Brevo contact attributes is activated. This maps the email address, first name, and last name to the corresponding Brevo attributes. To map additional attributes manually, deactivate this option and click Map attributes.
   
7. Click Save.

To learn which attributes the plugin adds to your contacts, check our dedicated section in the article Brevo plugin for WooCommerce - Install the plugin on your website.

Add or edit the opt-in checkbox at checkout

WooCommerce doesn't have a native opt-in feature for email marketing. With the plugin, you can choose to add a marketing opt-in checkbox to your checkout page so customers can subscribe to your email marketing when they place an order.

If you already set this up during the guided setup, you can edit it here. 

1. From Contact Synchronization, activate Display opt-in checkbox at checkout.
2. Optionally edit the Opt-in field label.
3. Under Opt-in Checkbox Default Location, choose where the checkbox should appear (below the Billing info, Order info, or Terms and Conditions section).
   
4. Click Save.

Re-sync your contacts

You can manually re-sync your contacts if some data failed to synchronize or if you want to update contact information in Brevo.

1. In Brevo, click the account dropdown and select Integrations > My integrations.
2. Next to the WooCommerce integration, click the three-dot icon and select Sync details.
3. Choose how you want to re-sync:
   • Click Sync now to synchronize all data.
   • Click the reload icon 🔄 next to Customers to synchronize only customers.
     

4. (Optional) Activate Preserve contacts' existing subscription statuses in Brevo if you want to keep their current subscription statuses unchanged. 

   ❗️ Important

   A re-sync sets the subscription status of your existing contacts again based on your current settings, instead of keeping the status they have in Brevo. Activate this option to keep their current statuses.
5. Click Sync now.

• Simple confirmation email: Sends a confirmation email without requiring the customer to click a confirmation link.

If you already set this up during the guided setup, you can edit it here. Changes only apply to contacts added after you save.

To change your subscription confirmation emails:

1. From the plugin settings, click Subscription Confirmation.
2. Activate Use Brevo subscription confirmation options to manage opt-in settings.

   2. Click Save.
